The three built-in fans are located on this side of the switch. These fans cannot be removed or replaced. Supported (optional) features The switch supports the following optional software, which can be activated with the purchase of the corresponding license key. v "Additional Port Activation" v "Full Fabric Activation" v "Fabric Watch" v "Advanced Security" on page 4 v "Performance Bundle (Performance Monitoring and ISL Trunking)" on page 4 Additional Port Activation The base switch model provides the first eight ports (0 through 7) enabled. Additional 4-port activation enables an upgrade to 12 and 16 ports. Customers can optionally purchase port activation for ports eight to eleven (first four-port increment), and ports twelve to fifteen (second four-port increment). Port activation features do not include fiber optic transceivers. Full Fabric Activation Full Fabric Activation is required to enable E_Ports. The switch, by default, cannot be connected to another switch until Full Fabric is installed. Without this license activation, the switch can be directly connected to hosts and storage devices. Full Fabric is a prerequisite to Advanced Security Activation and Performance Bundle Activation. Fabric Watch Fabric Watch enables real-time proactive awareness of the health, performance, and security of each switch and automatically alerts network managers to problems in order to avoid costly failures. Fabric Watch includes the following functions: v Real-time tracking of numerous fabric and switch elements Chapter 1. Introducing the SAN16B-2 switch 3
