• Provides the EZSwitch Setup Wizard for easy setup and basic configuration. • Provides on-demand scaling of 8 to 24 ports. • Operates as a fully functional switch or an NPIV Access Gateway (with all ports licensed only). • Integrates ISL Trunking (requires an optional license) and enables up to eight ports between a pair of switches to be combined to form a single, logical ISL switch with a speed of up to 64 Gb/s (128 Gb/s full duplex) for optimal bandwidth utilization and load balancing. • Provides DPS, which optimizes fabric-wide performance and load balancing by automatically routing data to the most efficient available path in the fabric. • Provides universal ports that self-configure as E_Ports, F_Ports, M_Ports, or FL_Ports. Port side of the 8/8 and 8/24 SAN Switch The port side of the 8/8 and 8/24 SAN Switch includes the system status LED, console port, Ethernet port, USB port, and FC ports with corresponding port status LEDs. Additionally, a pull-out tab identifies the serial number, MAC address, and WWN. Record the switch IP address on the pull-out tab for easy access.

Nonport side of the 8/8 and 8/24 SAN Switch The nonport side is used solely for airflow. The enclosure uses forced-air cooling, with the fans pushing the air from the nonport side of the chassis through the enclosure, and exhausting to the port side. Activating additional 8/8 and 8/24 SAN Switch ports By default, the 8/8 SAN Switch model integrates eight licensed ports (ports 0 through 7). Additionally, the 8/24 SAN Switch model integrates 16 licensed ports (ports 0 through 15). To enable additional ports, you must purchase and install the HP Storage Works 8/8 and 8/24 SAN Switch 8-Gb 8-port Upgrade LTU (part number T5518A): • For the 8/8 SAN Switch-To enable ports 8 through 15, you must purchase and install one upgrade license. To enable ports 15 through 23, you must purchase and install one upgrade license. • For the 8/24 SAN Switch-To enable ports 15 through 23, you must purchase and install a second upgrade license. 8-Gb SAN Switch Hardware Reference Guide 13
