Rack Stability
Rack stability protects personnel and equipment.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the
equipment, be sure that:
■The leveling jacks are extended to the floor.
■The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.
■In single rack installations, the stabilizing feet are attached to the rack.
■In multiple rack installations, the racks are coupled.
■Only one rack component is extended at any time. A rack may become
unstable if more than one rack component is extended for any reason.

Introduction
The HP StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/24 provides dynamic switched connections
between Fibre Channel servers and devices in a storage area network (SAN)
environment. SANs introduce the concept of server-to-device networking and
multi-switch fabrics, eliminate requirements for dedicated connections, and
enable the enterprise to become data centric.
A SAN provides speed, high capacity, and flexibility for the enterprise, and is
primarily based upon Fibre Channel architecture. The switch implements Fibre
Channel technology that provides a bandwidth of 2.125 Gbps, redundant switched
data paths, a scalable number of active ports, and long transmission distances.
This chapter describes the switch and attached HP StorageWorks HA-Fabric
Manager (HAFM) server. The chapter specifically discusses:
■Switch description including field replaceable units (FRUs) and front and rear
panel features.
■Switch management options.
■Operational features.
■Optional kits.

Introduction
18 Edge Switch 2/24 Installation Guide
Edge Switch 2/24 Description
The Edge Switch 2/24 provides Fibre Channel connectivity through 24 generic
mixed ports (GX_Ports). Switch ports can be configured as:
■Fabric ports (F_Ports) to provide direct connectivity for up to 24 switched
fabric devices.
■Fabric loop ports (FL_Ports) to provide arbitrated loop connectivity and fabric
attachment for FC-AL devices. Each FL_Port can theoretically support the
connection of 126 FC-AL devices.
■Expansion ports (E_Ports) to proved interswitch link (ISL) connectivity to
fabric directors and switches.
The switch, shown in Figure 1, provides dynamic switched connections for
servers and devices, supports mainframe and open-systems interconnection (OSI)
computing environments, and provides data transmission and flow control
between device node ports (N_Ports) as dictated by the Fibre Channel Physical
and Signaling Interface (FC-PH 4.3). Through interswitch links (ISLs), the switch
can connect additional switches to form a Fibre Channel multi-switch fabric.
The switch provides connectivity for devices manufactured by multiple original
equipment manufacturers (OEMs). To determine if an OEM product can
communicate through connections provided by the switch, or if communication
restrictions apply, refer to the supporting publications for the product or contact
your HP marketing representative.
