5. The process will take approximately 15 seconds.
6. Power off the router.
Step Three: Operating Mode
1. Power off the router.
2. On SW2 of the router, set DIP switches 0 and 2 to the down position to activate the “host” operating.
3. Attach the router to the host/server with the appropriate SCSI cable. Ensure that cable and connectors
are securely fastened.
4. Power on router and wait for blinking lights to stop.
5. ODE MAPPER should be used to verify that the HP e3000 can communicate with the fibre channel
device.
NOTE Fibre channel addressing is similar to but does not exactly match that of SCSI addressing.
The router will condense fibre channel addresses to fit into its map table. This map table
can then be accessed by the HP e3000. The map table is a sequential list of target and LUN
addresses starting at 0.0 incrementing to 0.7 then 1.0 where the left most digit (target
address) increments to 15. Except for the target address of the SCSI HBA of (usually) 7 the
total number of addresses the router can store is 127 per router.
It is best to configure your fibre channel LUN addresses starting at 0 with no holes. This be
less confusing as you manage your devices on the SAN.
