OVERVIEW

The HP Surestore FC Switch 6164 provides a 64-port enterprise-class fibre

channel switching solution for any-to-any connectivity requirements in a

Storage Area Network (SAN). The FC 6164 provides a cost-effective

means of meeting the large-port-count requirements of workgroups and

enterprises.

The FC 6164 is a rack-mountable solution, comprised of a chassis and six

fully integrated Silkworm 2250 switch modules, with preconfigured

inter-switch link (ISL) fibre optic cables and enhanced management

software. The FC 6164 includes Fabric Manager, a management application

that provides a centralized view of the integrated switch modules to

simplify administration and maintenance.

Using this preconfigured, stand-alone fabric as a building block of larger

fabrics, you can scale your storage environment as needed while leveraging

your existing server and storage infrastructure.

Quick Start Guide

INSTALLING THE SWITCH

This chapter provides the step-by-step instructions for installing the FC

Switch 6164 in either a HP rack or a Compaq/Rittal 19-inch rack.

Note Most of the steps in this procedure are unnecessary if the FC 6164

was installed at an HP integration center prior to shipment. However, Steps

16 and 17 (assembling and installing the plenum) and Step 19 (installing

the switch door) must be performed for factory-integrated switches (see

pages 29 and 32).

Quick Start Guide

Rack-Mount Safety Guidelines

In a rack-mount installation, follow these safety guidelines:

•When installing a switch in a closed or multi-rack assembly, make

certain the air temperature, measured at the front panel, does not exceed

40° C during operation.

•Ensure that the airflow available to the switch is at least 300 cfpm.

•Verify the supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size are adequate. Refer

to the switch’s nameplate for its power requirements.

•Verify that all equipment installed in the rack has a reliable ground

connection. Do not rely on connection to a branch circuit, such as power

strips.

•Route and support the power cord to ensure that it does not become

crimped or damaged and to prevent it from interfering with other

equipment and cabling installed in the rack.

•The FC 6164 weighs approximately 200 pounds. A lift is required to

move and position the switch safely, and at least two people are required

to lift and position the switch onto the lift. Two or more people are also

required to move the switch from the lift into the rack and when

positioning the switch in the rack. Move the switch chassis slowly and

carefully at all times, and continue supporting it until it is correctly

positioned on the rail tray and fastened to the rack. Use extreme caution

when handling or transporting the switch to prevent injury to personnel,

damage to the switch, and/or damage to the rack and other equipment

mounted in it.
