CAUTION Allow the HP StorageWorks Core Switch 2/64 to run for a minimum of 10 minutes after powering on before powering off again. Operating Information for System Components The HP StorageWorks Core Switch 2/64 can contain up to two logical switches, each with its own configuration: one for any 16-port cards in slots 1-4 and one for any 16-port cards in slots 7-10. The 16-port cards can be installed in any combination of slots 1-4 ("switch 0") and 7-10 ("switch 1"), with one exception: if there are one or more 16-port cards in slots 7-10, there must be at least one 16-port card in slots 1-4. The active CP card controls both logical switches. 16-Port Cards CAUTION To prevent damage to the electrical components, wear an ESD grounding strap when working with the 16-port card. To ensure correct cooling of the chassis and protection from dust, filler panels are provided for any slots that do not contain a 16-port card. Disassembling any part of a 16-port card voids the part warranty and regulatory certifications. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the 16-port card. Each 16-port card provides 16 auto-sensing Fibre Channel ports, capable of auto-sensing data transmission speeds of 1 and 2 Gbps. The ports on each of the 16-port cards are color-coded to indicate which ports can be used in the same ISL Trunking group: four ports marked with black solid ovals alternate with four ports marked with oval outlines. Note ISL Trunking is a Fabric OS feature that enables distribution of traffic over the combined bandwidth of up to four ISLs between two directly adjacent switches, while preserving in-order delivery.

Allow the HP StorageWorks Core Switch 2/64 to run for a
minimum of 10 minutes after powering on before powering off again.
Operating Information for System Components
The HP StorageWorks Core Switch 2/64 can contain up to two logical
switches, each with its own configuration: one for any 16-port cards in slots
1-4 and one for any 16-port cards in slots 7-10. The 16-port cards can be
installed in any combination of slots 1-4 (“switch 0”) and 7-10 (“switch
1”), with one exception: if there are one or more 16-port cards in slots 7-10,
there must be at least one 16-port card in slots 1-4.
The active CP card controls both logical switches.
16-Port Cards
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the electrical components, wear an ESD
grounding strap when working with the 16-port card.
To ensure correct cooling of the chassis and protection from dust, filler
panels are provided for any slots that do not contain a 16-port card.
Disassembling any part of a 16-port card voids the part warranty and
regulatory certifications. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the
16-port card.
Each 16-port card provides 16 auto-sensing Fibre Channel ports, capable of
auto-sensing data transmission speeds of 1 and 2 Gbps.
The ports on each of the 16-port cards are color-coded to indicate which
ports can be used in the same ISL Trunking group: four ports marked with
black solid ovals alternate with four ports marked with oval outlines.
Note
ISL Trunking is a Fabric OS feature that enables distribution of
traffic over the combined bandwidth of up to four ISLs between two
directly adjacent switches, while preserving in-order delivery. For more
