SAN Director 2/128 Installation Guide
Hardware Components
The SAN Director 2/128 features a modular and scalable mechanical construction
that allows a wide range of flexibility in switch installation, fabric design, and
maintenance. HP supports two SAN Director 2/128 switches in an HP 10,000
series, HP System/e or comparable EIA cabinet.
The modular chassis consists of the following:
Up to eight hot-swappable 16-port cards, delivering up to 128 Fibre Channel
ports in a single chassis
Two slots for control processor (CP) cards (slots 5 and 6):
A single active CP card can control all 128 ports in the chassis
The standby CP card assumes control of the switch if the active CP fails
Modular hot-swappable field replaceable units (FRUs):
16-port cards (1-8)
CP cards (2)
Small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceivers
Blower assemblies (3)
Power supplies (2)
Cables, cards (16-port and CP), and power supplies serviced from the port
side of the SAN Director 2/128 and blowers serviced from the nonport side
Support for mounting the chassis with the port side facing the air-intake aisle
if adequate cooling is provided
Easy cable management using a cable management tray and cable guides
(pillars)
Three blowers provide cooling, allowing continuous operation even if one
blower fails
Constant intake and FRU temperature monitoring
World Wide Name (WWN) card on the nonport side, to maintain
chassis-specific information such as WWNs, IP addresses, and summary
status information of each card (16-port and CP) and power supply through
LEDs
