Verifying installation requirements
The installation takes less than 10 minutes. You will
need the following items:
•Replacement director blade
•Filler panel for each empty slot (ships with the
director blade)
•Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap
•Workstation computer
•Phillips screwdriver
•Small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers, as
needed (must be ordered separately)
•Quad SFP (QSFP) transceivers, as needed (must
be ordered separately)
•Extended form-factor pluggable (XFP) transceivers,
as needed, for the FC10-6 only
•Optical cables, as needed
Transceiver support
•The FC8-64 supports mSFPs only, and is shipped
with them installed.
•Except for the FC8-64, all 8 Gb and 16 Gb
blades use B-series SFPs.
•CR16-8 and CR16-4 use QSFP transceivers for
ICL connections.
For more information about supported transceivers,
see the HP SPOCK website at http://www.hp.com/
storage/spock. You must sign up for an HP Passport
to gain access.
For information on SAN compatibility, see http://
www.hpsancompat.com/.
Removing the filler panel
Remove the filler panel, if installed. There are three
filler panel types (Figure 18 (page 11)).
CAUTION: Remove a filler panel only when
installing or replacing a Director blade. All slots
that are not occupied by a Director blade
require a filler panel to ensure cooling of the
chassis and protection from dust.
To remove a filler panel with a handle:
1. Unscrew the two captive screws on the filler
panel.
2. Grasp the handle and remove the filler panel.
To remove a filler panel with ejectors:
1. Push in the yellow tab on each ejector.
2. Open both ejectors and remove the filler panel.
To remove a filler panel with pull tabs:
1. Unscrew the top and bottom captive screws on
the filler panel.
2. Grasp the top and bottom pull tabs and remove
the filler panel.

Determining the ejector type
Installation procedures vary depending on the ejector
mechanism on the blade. This section identifies the
blades that use ejectors and sliders, and the blades
that use ejectors only.
Page 11

Blades with ejectors and slider switches
The following blades use both ejectors and slider
switches:
FC4-16IPFC4-16
FR4-18iFC4-32
FC10-6
Blades with ejectors
The following blades use ejectors only:
FC8-48EFC8-32E
FC8-48FC16-32
FC8-64FC16-48
FC4-48FCOE10-24
FS8-18FC8-16
FX8-24FC8-32
Installing the blade
CAUTION: Wear an ESD grounding strap
when handling the blade. On the director
chassis, the grounding connection is located
above the power connectors.
To install the blade:
1. Identify the ejector type for your blade, as
described in “Determining the ejector type” (page
11).
2. Locate an appropriate slot. Slots are numbered
from left to right when facing the port side of the
chassis.
For the HP 4/256 SAN Director: Install the blades
in slots 1 through 4 and 7 through 10.
For the HP DC SAN Backbone Director: Install the
blades in slots 1 through 4 and 9 through 12.
For the HP DC04 SAN Director: Install the blades
in slots 1 and 2 and slots 7 and 8.
For the HP SN8000B 8-Slot SAN Backbone
Director: Install the blades in slots 1 through 4
and 9 through 12.
For the HP SN8000B 4-Slot SAN Director: Install
the blades in slots 1 and 2 and slots 7 and 8.
3. Orient the blade so that the ports face outward
(away from the slot) and the flat (noncomponent)
side is on the left.
4. Proceed to Step 5 if the blade you are installing
uses ejectors only. (See “Determining the ejector
type” (page 11).)
For blades with both ejectors and slider switches:
a. Open the ejectors approximately 45 degrees,
align the flat side of the blade inside the
upper and lower rail guides in the slot, and
then, while applying slight pressure to the
left, slide the blade into the slot
(Figure 19 (page 12)).

blade with ejectors and slider switches

4. Ejectors (2)3. On/Off slider switch
b. Close the ejectors by pushing the handles
toward the center of the blade until the
ejectors lock.
The levering action of the handles seats the
blade in the slot.
c. Tighten the thumb screw inside each handle
using the Phillips screwdriver.
d. Turn the blade on by sliding up the slider
switch in the top ejector, covering the thumb
screw.
e. Proceed to Step 6.

5. For blades with ejectors:
a. Open the ejectors.
b. Align the flat side of the blade inside the
upper and lower rail guides in the slot.
c. Slide the blade into the slot until it is firmly
seated (Figure 20 (page 13)).
d. Close the ejectors.

6. Verify that the blade power LED is displaying a
steady green light and that the blade is firmly
seated.
7. Install the transceivers and cables.
