McDATA 4Gb SAN Switch for HP p-Class BladeSystem quick setup instructions
Installing the FC Signal Conditioning
card in the Interconnect switch
1. Insure that LAN traffic interruption is acceptable for the
Interconnect switch to be removed.
2. Remove the Interconnect switch.
3. Remove the Interconnect switch cover by turning the thumbscrews
(1) counterclockwise or releasing the latch (2).
4. Install the FC signal conditioning card if not already installed.
5. Replace the Interconnect switch cover and insert the Interconnect
switch into the enclosure.
6. Remove the protective foam from the connector guide pins on the
SAN switch.
7. Install the SAN Switch into the back of the Interconnect switch
from the rear of the blade enclosure. The handle of the SAN
Switch should always be on the left.
8. Install the transceivers and cable.
a. Insert an SFP module (1) into an external port of the SAN
Switch.
b. Insert an optical cable (2) into an SFP module. When fully
seated, the cable clicks to latch in place. Be sure to keep dust
covers on unused transceivers to prevent contaminants and
ambient light from entering the SFP.
Server FC port connections
The 4Gb SAN Switch port connections to all blade servers except
the BL40p are made through embedded pathways in the enclosure
hardware.
The BL40p uses a standard HBA that can be connected to an
external port of the 4Gb SAN Switch. A 4Gb SAN Switch can
support only one connection to a BL40p as the other connection
must be used for SAN or storage interconnect.
Configuring the SAN Switch
For detailed instructions on configuring the SAN Switch, see the
McDATA 4Gb SAN Switch for HP p-Class BladeSystem installation
guide. The workstation used to manage the switch must be able to
connect to the default switch IP address 10.0.0.1.
1. Enter the default switch IP address (10.0.0.1) in an internet
browser at the workstation. (If your workstation does not have the
Java 2 Run Time Environment program, you will be prompted to
download it.)
2. Click Proceed in the Initial Start dialog of the McDATA Web
Server window.
3. Enter the default switch IP address, login name (default is
“admin”), and password (default is “password”) in the Add a
New Fabric dialog.
