Hardware installation instructions The hardware installation has three components: • Installing the storage components • Installing the switch • Installing the HBAs Installing the storage components To install your HP storage components (purchased separately; not included in the 8Gb Simple SAN Connection Kit): 1. If not already installed, install the MSA or EVA storage array using the documentation supplied with the unit. 2. Connect the power cables to the power source. 3. Power on the storage array and allow it to initialize. 4. For EVA storage, install the HP StorageWorks Command View EVA 7.0 or later software. Installing the switch To install the HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch: 1. Mount the switch on a flat surface or in a rack: • Attach the four adhesive rubber feet to the bottom of the switch and place the switch on a flat surface. Or, • Mount the switch in a 19" EIA rack following the steps in the HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch Rack-Mount Kit quick start installation instructions. 2. Install each SFP transceiver by inserting the transceiver into any of the active switch ports and pressing gently until it snaps in place. The transceiver will fit only one way. If the transceiver does not install under gentle pressure, flip it over and try again. NOTE: An HP Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver is required for each switch port that will be connected to a device or another switch. Only HP SFPs are supported for use in the switch. On a new HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch, ports 0-7 are active. The switch supports 2 Gb, 4 Gb, and 8 Gb transmission with HP 8 Gb fiber optic transceivers. 3. Apply power to the switch by attaching the AC power cord to the receptacle on the back of the switch and to the power source. The switch runs its self-tests and begins normal operation-this may take a few minutes. 4. Check the switch LEDs (Figure 1) to verify that the Input Power LED is illuminated, the Heartbeat LED is blinking (once per second), and the System Fault LED is not illuminated. Figure 1 Switch LEDs 1 Input Power LED 2 Heartbeat LED 3 System Fault LED 5. Connect the switch Ethernet port to the following: • The LAN that is used to connect the management station that will run Simple SAN Connection Manager (see Software installation instructions, page 3) • Other servers in the storage area network (SAN) IMPORTANT: Do not configure the switch at this time. The Simple SAN Connection Manager software will prompt you to set the switch IP address, administrator password, and default zoning when you first start that software. 6. Connect the FC cables between the installed transceivers and their corresponding devices and switches. Each port auto-negotiates the proper port type with the connected device or switch. Installing the HBAs Install an HBA on each server (Figure 2). For additional information, see the instructions in the HP StorageWorks 81Q PCIe FC HBA quick start installation instructions. CAUTION: Keep the HBA in the antistatic bag until installation. The HBA contains parts that can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Before handling the HBA, use standard methods to discharge static electricity. Place the HBA on the bag when examining it. Retain the bag for future use. Page 2
