Page 19: Switch Features
Switch Features 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.
Page 20: Edge Switch 2/24 Description
Switch Features 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.
Page 21: Field Replaceable Units (Frus)
Switch Features Figure 1: Edge Switch 2/24 (front view) Field Replaceable Units (FRUs) The switch provides a modular design that enables quick removal and replacement of FRUs, including small form factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceivers and power supply assemblies with internal cooling fans. Edge Switch 2/24 FRUs are detailed in the front and rear panel feature descriptions.
