Page 1

◦HP product documentation, including Read
Me First, Safety Guides, User License, and
Warranty
◦HP SAN Network Advisor DVD
Verify the installation requirements
To set up the switch for the first time, you will need the
following:
•Workstation with an installed terminal emulator
(such as HyperTerminal)
•Unused IP address and corresponding subnet
mask and gateway address
•Serial cable (supplied with the switch)
•Ethernet cable
•Access to an FTP server, SCP server, or USB
device for backing up the switch configuration
(optional)
•HP B-series SFP+ transceivers and compatible
cables (HP B-series 16 Gb/s SFP+ transceivers
required for 16 Gb/s performance), as required
IMPORTANT: Order transceivers or cables
separately. The HP SN6000B 16Gb FC Switch
supports only transceivers and cables labeled
B-series SFP+, or B-series cable. See the
compatibility matrix at http://
hpsancompat.com/ for more information on
supported transceivers.
Plan the site environment
To ensure adequate cooling, install the switch with the
nonport side (which contains the air intake vents)
facing the cool-air aisle. Verify that the ambient air
temperature does not exceed 40°C (104°F) and that
the ambient humidity remains between 10% and 85%
while the switch is operating.
To install and operate the switch successfully, ensure
that:
•The primary AC input is 85–264 VAC Nominal:
100–40 VAC, 2.0 A; 47–63 Hz. The switch
autosenses input voltage.
•The primary outlet is wired correctly, protected
by a circuit breaker, and grounded in accordance
with local electrical codes.
•The supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size are
adequate, as specified by the electrical rating on
the switch nameplate.
For additional power supply information, see the HP
SN6000B 16Gb 48-port Fibre Channel Switch
Hardware Reference Guide.
Installing the SN6000B 16Gb FC Switch
in a rack using the Rack Mount Kit
Use the SN6000B Switch Rack Mount Kit to install
your HP SN6000B 16Gb FC Switch in an HP 10000
Series Rack.
CAUTION: Install the Rack Mount Kit as
described in this section so that when the switch
is installed, the port side faces the rear of the
rack. This configuration optimizes performance
by:
•Providing better airflow by using a plenum
to force cool air to enter the switch from
the front of the rack
•Providing room for a gradual bend in the
fiber optic cables because the port side of
the switch is set back from the edge of the
rack
Use only the screws provided in the Rack Mount
Kit. Using other screws can cause damage to
internal components.

To install the switch in a rack using the Rack Mount
Kit:
1. Place the switch on a flat surface and attach each
inner rail to the switch using three flat-head
screws. See Figure 2 (page 3).
The rails are labeled Left and Right to designate
the left side and right side of the switch as viewed
from its nonport side.
Figure 2 Attaching the inner rails to the switch
2. Take care to select a mounting location in the rack
such that the cutouts in the sides of each rail are
not obstructed. You will route the switch power
cords through these holes later in this procedure.
3. Attach each rear mounting bracket to a rear rack
upright column using two Phillips screws and
adapter washers. See Figure 3 (page 3).
Figure 3 Installing the rear mounting brackets
4. Attach each outer rail as shown in Figure 4 (page
3).
The rails are labeled Left and Right to designate
the left side and right side of the rack as viewed
from the front of the cabinet.
a. Slide the rail over the rear mounting bracket.
b. Attach the front of the rail to a front rack
upright column using two Phillips screws and
adapter washers.
c. Attach the outer rail to the rear mounting
brackets using a Phillips screw.
TIP: Tighten the rear screws just enough
for the end of the screw to go through the
rear bracket. Later in the procedure, you
will need room to slide the inner rail
between the screw head and the outer
bracket.
Figure 4 Attaching the outer rails
Page 3

5. Install the switch. See Figure 5 (page 4).
a. From the front of the rack, slide the switch
(with inner rails attached) onto the outer rails,
taking care to align the inner rails with the
attachment screws on the outer rails at the
rear of the rack.
b. When the switch is in place, secure the inner
rails to the outer rails by tightening the screws
at the rear of the rack.
Figure 5 Installing the switch in the rack
6. At the front of the rack, run the switch power cords
from the sides of the rack through the cutouts in
the rail, and then connect them to the switch
power supplies. See Figure 6 (page 4).
CAUTION: Ensure that the power cords
do not come in contact with any sharp
edges.

4. Plenum2. Power cable plugs
7. Connect the other end of the power cords to
power sources on separate circuits to protect
against AC failure.
Ensure that the cords have a minimum service
loop of 6 inches available and are routed to
avoid stress.
8. Power on the power supplies by setting both
power switches to the ON position (I).
The power supply LEDs are amber until the Power
On Self Test (POST) is complete, and then change
to green. The HP SN6000B 16Gb FC Switch
takes several minutes to boot and complete POST.
NOTE: When installed, the plenum covers
the power supply switches and LEDs.
However, the LEDs are visible through the
air holes in the front of the plenum.
9. Attach the plenum. See Figure 7 (page 4).
Figure 7 Attaching the plenum
a. Slide the plenum over the nonport side of the
inner rails, taking care to bypass the power
cables.
b. Tighten the thumbscrews to secure the plenum
to the front of the rack.
10. Proceed to “Switch setup” (page 5).
Install a standalone switch
1. Unpack the switch and verify the contents as
described in “Verify the carton contents” (page
1).

2. Apply the adhesive rubber feet to prevent the
switch from sliding off the supporting surface.
a. Clean the indentations at each corner on the
bottom of the switch to ensure that they are
free of dust or other debris.
b. With the adhesive side against the chassis,
place one rubber foot in each indentation
and press into place.
3. Place the switch on a flat, sturdy surface.
4. Connect the power cords to both power supplies
and then to power sources on separate circuits to
protect against AC failure. Ensure that the cords
have a minimum service loop of 6 inches
available and are routed to avoid stress.
5. Power on the power supplies by setting both AC
switches to the on position (|).
The power supply LEDs are amber until POST is
complete, and then change to green. The switch
takes several minutes to boot and complete POST.
NOTE: Power is supplied to the switch as
soon as the first power supply is connected
and turned on.
6. After POST is complete, verify that the switch
power and status LEDs on the port side of the
switch are green.
Switch setup
To set up the switch, you will need the following:
•Standard screwdriver
•If you are using static IP addressing, you will need
the following items (not required if you are using
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)):
◦Fixed IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) for the switch
◦Subnet mask value
◦Default gateway value
•World Wide Name (WWN), located on the
switch ID pull-out tab
•Ethernet connection (hub or switch)
•Ethernet and Fibre Channel cables
•Disk array with Fibre Channel ports
•Browser that allows pop-up windows
Connect the serial cable
1. Connect the serial cable to the serial port on the
switch and to an RS-232 serial port on the
workstation.
If the serial port is RJ-45 instead of RS-232,
remove the adapter on the end of the serial cable
and insert the exposed RJ-45 connector into the
RJ-45 serial port on the workstation.
2. Disable any serial communication programs
running on the workstation.
3. Open a terminal emulator (such as HyperTerminal
on a PC, or TERM, TIP, or Kermit in a UNIX
environment) and configure the application as
follows:
For most Windows systems:
Bits per second: 9,600
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None
For most UNIX systems:
tip /dev/ttyb -9600
If ttyb is already in use, try ttya instead:
tip /dev/ttya -9600
Log in to the serial console port
1. Verify that the switch has completed POST.
When POST is complete, the port status, switch
power, and status LEDs return to a normal state.
2. When the terminal emulator stops reporting
information, press Enter to display the login
prompt.
3. Log in to the switch as admin, using the default
password, password.
You are prompted to change the default password
at initial login.
NOTE: You can configure the switch using a
static IP address or DHCP. With DHCP (enabled
by default), the switch obtains its IP address,
subnet mask, and default gateway address from
the DHCP server. The DHCP client can connect
only to a DHCP server that is on the same subnet
as the switch. The Ethernet cable must be
connected to the management Ethernet port on
the switch if you are using DHCP. If you are
using a static IP address, see “Set a static IP
address” (page 6).
Page 5

Set a static IP address
1. Use the ipaddrset command to set the Ethernet
IP address.
•For an IPv4 address, use dotted-decimal
notation:
Ethernet IP Address:
192.168.74.102
•For an IPv6 address, use colon-separated
notation:
switch:admin> ipaddrset -ipv6
--add 1080::8:800:200C:417A/64
The following message confirms the change:
IP address is being changed...Done.
2. Provide the remaining network information:
Ethernet IP Address: 192.168.74.102
nl
Ethernet Subnetmask: 255.255.252.0
nl
Gateway IP Address: 15.226.172.1
3. As an option, verify the IP address by entering
the ipaddrshow command at the prompt.
4. Record the IP address on the pull-out tab on the
port side of the switch.
5. When prompted, enter off to disable DHCP:
DHCP [OFF]: off
6. If the serial port is no longer required, use the
logout command to log out of the serial console.
Remove the serial cable and replace the plug in
the serial port.
7. Connect the Ethernet port on the switch to the
Ethernet network that assigned the IP address.
Set the date and time
The date and time settings are used for logging, error
detection, and troubleshooting.
1. Using a Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH) session,
connect to the switch using the IP address that you
configured, and then log in to the switch as
admin using the password you set when you
logged in to the serial console port.
2. Enter the date command using the following
syntax:
date "mmddHHMMyy", where:
mm is the month; valid values are 01 through 12.
dd is the date; valid values are 01 through 31.
HH is the hour; valid values are 00 through 23.
MM is minutes; valid values are 00 through 59.
yy is the year; valid values are 00 through 99.
NOTE: Values greater than 69 are
interpreted as 1970 through 1999; values
less than 70 are interpreted as 2000
through 2069.
3. Enter the tstimezone command:
switch:admin> tstimezone
[--interactive]/ [, timezone_fmt]
Use timezone_fmt to set the time zone by
country/city or by time-zone ID, such as PST. The
following example shows how to change the time
zone to US/Central:
switch:admin> tstimezone
nl
Time Zone : US/Pacific
nl
switch:admin> tstimezone US/Central
nl
switch:admin> tstimezone
nl
Time Zone : US/Central
4. Enter the tsclockserver command to
synchronize local time using NTP:
switch:admin> tsclockserver
“<ntp1;ntp2>”
The value of ntp1 is the IP address or DNS name
of the first NTP server, which the switch must be
able to access. The value of ntp2 is the second
NTP server and is optional. When multiple NTP
server addresses are specified, tsclockserver
sets the first obtainable address as the active NTP
server. The default value is LOCL.
switch:admin> tsclockserver
LOCL
switch:admin> tsclockserver "132.163.135.131"
switch:admin> tsclockserver
132.163.135.131
switch:admin>
Configure the zones, and perform device selection
See the Brocade Network Advisor User Manual,
available from the storage section of the HP website:
http://www.hp.com/support/manuals.
Connect devices
The Connect Devices window shows a graphical
representation of the switch with the device
connections, based on the information that you entered
in “Configure the zones, and perform device selection”
(page 6).
NOTE: Only HP B-series optical transceivers
are supported. See http://hpsancompat.com/
for more information.
Page 6

Transceivers and cables are keyed so that they can
be inserted only one way. If a transceiver or cable
does not slide in easily, make sure it is oriented
correctly.
Do not insert a cable intended for an mSFP transceiver
into a regular SFP+ transceiver; you may damage the
cable. The mSFP transceivers and cables are supported
only with the 64-port 8Gb/s blade for the SN8000B
SAN directors. Do not force a standard SFP cable into
an mSFP transceiver; you may damage the transceiver.

in a Fibre Channel port
Figure 9 Inserting a 16 Gb/s SFP+ transceiver in a
Fibre Channel port
To connect devices:
1. Install the SFP+ transceivers in the Fibre Channel
ports on the switch to match the ports shown on
the screen (see Figure 8 (page 7)). If you are
using an SFP+ transceiver that does not have a
pull tab, ensure that the wire bail is in the
unlocked position.
a. Remove any protector plugs from the SFP+
transceiver. Insert each SFP+ transceiver
(right side up in the top row of ports, and
upside down in the bottom row of ports) until
it is firmly seated and the latching mechanism
clicks.
The 16 Gb/s SFP+ transceivers do not have
bails. Use the pull tab on the 16 Gb/s SFP+
transceiver to push the transceiver into the
port.
b. Close the latching bail on the non-16 Gb/s
SFP+ transceiver.
2. Connect the Fibre Channel cables from the switch
to your host and storage devices. Ensure that the
physical connections match the connections on
the Device Connection screen.
a. Remove the plastic protector caps from the
Fibre Channel cable ends (if there are any),
and position the cable connector so that it is
oriented correctly.
b. Position a cable so that the key (the ridge on
one side of the cable connector) is aligned
with the slot in the transceiver (see
Figure 9 (page 7)).
c. Insert the cable into the transceiver until the
latching mechanism clicks.
d. The Device Connection screen shows missing,
valid, and invalid connections as you cable
the switch. It can take up to 15 seconds for
the screen to display the connection as valid.
Verify that the connections display green and
then click Next.
Verify switch operation
1. Check the LEDs to verify that all components are
functional. For information about LED patterns,
see the HP SN6000B 16Gb 48-port Fibre
Channel Switch Hardware Reference Guide.
2. Verify the correct operation of the switch by
issuing the switchShow command.
This command provides information about switch
and port status.
3. Verify the correct operation of the fabric by
issuing the fabricShow command.
This command provides general information about
the fabric.
