Cable requirements NOTE: Optical cables for the Director 2/64 and Director 2/140 must be ordered separately. For cables measuring up to 500 meters (1 Gbps) or 300 meters (2 Gbps), use multi-mode Fibre Channel cables. For longer cables, use single-mode Fibre Channel cables. Multi-mode optical cables are connected to short-wave optical transceiver modules in a switch. Single-mode optical cables are connected to long-wave optical transceiver modules in a switch. Multi-mode cables should use 50/125 optical fibers, and single-mode cables typically use 9/125 optical fibers for distances up to 10 km. Verify that connectors interfacing with the Director 2/64 and Director 2/140 use LC Duplex connectors with a PC finish. In addition, the connector at the opposite end of the cable must be of either LC or SC type, depending on the requirements of the connected device. Important information This section describes important information related to the Director 2/64 and Director 2/140. Minor Code Enhancements and Fixes in fw 07.01.02-4 This release of firmware version 07.01.02-4 incorporates some minor code enhancements and fixes, and is not a mandatory upgrade, though HP recommends that all directors and edge switches be upgraded to this version of firmware. Firmware release 07.01.02-4 is based on firmware 07.00.00-84, and contains all fixes included in that version and prior releases. The following are now incorporated in firmware version 07.01.02-4. Directors take new action upon detecting a failed UPM port module A particular type of failure in director UPM port modules could be disruptive to other port modules in a director. In the release of firmware 07.01.02-4, the action taken by the director upon detecting this type of failure was changed to power off the failed port module to prevent it from affecting other working port modules. Embedded Web Server zoneset activation timeout issue resolved Under certain conditions, the Embedded Web Server (EWS) would sometimes not allow the Zone Manager subsystem enough time to process a configuration change request.

Cable requirements
NOTE:
Optical cables for the Director 2/64 and Director 2/140 must be ordered separately.
For cables measuring up to 500 meters (1 Gbps) or 300 meters (2 Gbps), use multi-mode
Fibre Channel cables. For longer cables, use single-mode Fibre Channel cables.
Multi-mode optical cables are connected to short-wave optical transceiver modules in
a switch. Single-mode optical cables are connected to long-wave optical transceiver
modules in a switch. Multi-mode cables should use 50/125 optical
fi
bers, and
single-mode cables typically use 9/125 optical
fi
bers for distances up to 10 km.
Verify that connectors interfacing with the Director 2/64 and Director 2/140 use LC
Duplex connectors with a PC
fi
nish. In addition, the connector at the opposite end
of the cable must be of either LC or SC type, depending on the requirements of the
connected device.

Minor Code Enhancements and Fixes in fw 07.01.02-4
This release of
fi
rmware version 07.01.02-4 incorporates some minor code enhancements
and
fi
xes, and is not a mandatory upgrade, though HP recommends that all directors
and edge switches be upgraded to this version of
fi
rmware. Firmware release 07.01.02-4
is based on
fi
rmware 07.00.00-84, and contains all
fi
xes included in that version and
prior releases. The following are now incorporated in
fi
rmware version 07.01.02-4.
Directors take new action upon detecting a failed UPM port module
A particular type of failure in director UPM port modules could be disruptive to other
port modules in a director. In the release of
fi
rmware 07.01.02-4, the action taken by
the director upon detecting this type of failure was changed to power off the failed port
module to prevent it from affecting other working port modules.
Embedded Web Server zoneset activation timeout issue resolved
Under certain conditions, the Embedded Web Server (EWS) would sometimes not allow
the Zone Manager subsystem enough time to process a con
fi
guration change request.
This would cause EWS to time out when waiting for the Zone Manager to respond.
When this occurred, the Zone Manager could hang inde
fi
nitely, preventing any further
zone activities from any management location. This timeout issue has been
fi
xed.
