• FICON, FICON Cascading, and FICON CUP ready. • ISL Trunking (licensable), which allows up to eight ports (at 4, 8, or 16 Gb/s) between a pair of switches combined to form a single, logical ISL with a speed of up to 128 Gb/s (256 Gb/s full duplex) for optimal bandwidth utilization and load balancing. • DPS, which optimizes fabric-wide performance and load balancing by automatically routing data to the most efficient available path in the fabric. • HP-branded SFP+ optical transceivers that support any combination of SWL and LWL or ELWL optical media among the switch ports. • Support for unicast, multicast (255 groups), and broadcast data traffic types. • HP B-series Fabric OS, which delivers distributed intelligence throughout the network and enables a wide range of value-added applications such as Advanced Web Tools and Zoning. Optional Fabric Services include Adaptive Networking with QoS, Extended Fabrics, Enhanced Group Management, Fabric Watch, ISL Trunking, and APM. • Support for AG configuration where server ports connected to the fabric core are virtualized. • Hardware zoning is accomplished at the port level of the switch and by WWN. Hardware zoning permits or denies delivery of frames to any destination port address. • Extensive diagnostics and system-monitoring capabilities for enhanced high RAS. • 10 Gb/s FC integration on the same port provides DWDM metro connectivity on the same switch (can be done on the first eight ports only). • Real-time power monitoring enables users to monitor power usage of the fabric at a switch level. • Port-to-port latency minimized to 800 nanoseconds through cut-through frame routing at 16 Gb/s. Platform components • A system motherboard that features a PowerPC 440EPx RISC CPU running at 667 MHz, with integrated peripherals, and provides high performance with low power consumption. • An RJ-45 10/100 Base-T Ethernet system management port that supports switch IP address discovery and configuration. • One RS-232 serial port with an RJ-45 connector for initial switch setup and factory default restoration. (The integral LEDs remain unlit at all times.) • A USB port that provides storage for firmware updates, supportsave command output, and storage for configuration uploads and downloads. • Two hot-swappable, redundant power supply and fan assemblies. There are two fans per power supply. • Designed for rack mounting in a 19-inch EIA rack (1U high). • One LED (green/amber) per FC port to indicate status. • One LED (green) for system power. • One LED (green/amber) for system status. • Two Ethernet LEDs (integrated with RJ-45) for speed and activity status. • SEEPROM for switch identification. • Voltage and temperature monitoring. • RTC with battery.
