14U Rack Mount Kit hardware required for the DC Director: • 10-32 x 5/8 in. panhead Phillips screws with washers (six required for the DC Director) For use with an HP 42U rack (or racks with square holes): • 10-32 retainer nuts (six required for the DC Director) • 1/4-20 x 1/2 in. panhead Phillips screws, with glue (twenty-two required for the DC Director) • 0.375 in. alignment washers (twenty-two required for the DC Director) For use with racks with round holes: • 10-32 clip nuts (six required for the DC Director) • 1/4-20 x 1/2 in. panhead Phillips screws, with lock washers (twenty-two required for the DC Director)
IMPORTANT: Order SFP transceivers separately. The HP DC SAN Backbone Director 8Gb port blades support HP transceivers labeled “B-Series FC SFP" only. Check http://www.hp.com for more information on supported transceivers.
Verify the operating environment
• Install in a space that is 14 rack units (14U) high, 61.29 cm (24.09 in.) deep. 1U is equal to 4.45 cm (1.75 in.) • Do not place on the floor because this prevents use of the cable management comb and impedes cable routing. • Install with the nonport side facing the air-intake aisle. This prevents the fan from pulling in heated exhaust air. Install facing in either direction if serviceability and cooling requirements are met. • Plan for cable management before installing. Manage cables by routing cables below the chassis, to either side of the chassis, or through cable channels. • Air-intake and exhaust vents must have a minimum of 2 in. of clearance. • The air temperature on the air-intake side is less than 40ºC (104ºF) during operation. • Locate dedicated electrical branch circuits that meet the following requirements: • 200–240 VAC, 50–60 Hz (two branch circuits) • Protected by a circuit breaker in accordance with local electrical codes • Supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size adequate for the electrical rating on the chassis nameplate • Grounded outlets installed by a licensed electrician, compatible with the power cords nl
Power on the DC Director
1. Use the supplied power cords. Ensure that the facility’s power receptacle is the correct type, supplies the required voltage, and is properly grounded. 2. Connect the AC power cords to the power supply assemblies. 3. Connect the power cords to a power source with 200--240 VAC, 47--63 Hz. TIP: HP highly recommends using a high-voltage line (200--240 VAC) for better power-conversion efficiency.
The LED indicator on the active Control Processor blade displays a steady blue light. IMPORTANT: The SERVICE port is intended primarily for the initial setting of the IP address and for service purposes. 3. Access the DC Director using a terminal emulator application (such as HyperTerminal in a Windows environment or TERM in a UNIX environment). 4. Disable any serial communication programs running on the workstation (such as synchronization programs). 5. Open the terminal emulator application and configure as follows: For most Windows systems: Bits per second: 9,600 Databits: 8 Parity: None Stop bits: 1 Flow control: None
Configure IP addresses NOTE: The DC Director requires three IP addresses—one for each Control Processor blade (CP0 and CP1) and one for the single logical switch. Addresses 10.0.0.0 through 10.0.0.255 are reserved and used internally by the DC Director. To set the IP address for the single logical switch: 1. Log in to the active Control Processor blade as admin through the serial cable connection. 2. Enter the ipAddrSet -sw 0 command. 3. Enter the required information at the prompts. NOTE:
6. Press Enter when the terminal emulator application stops reporting information. The following login prompt is displayed: CP0 Console Login:
To set the CP0 IP address: 1. Log in to the active Control Processor blade as admin through the serial cable connection. 2. Enter the ipAddrSet -cp 0 command.
7. Log in to the DC Director as admin.
3. Enter the required information at the prompts.
8. Enter the default password: password
To set the CP1 IP address:
9. Modify passwords (optional). Passwords must be 8 to 40 characters, must begin with an alphabetic character, and are case sensitive. For more information, see the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 6.x administrator guide.
1. Log in to the active Control Processor blade as admin through the serial cable connection.
10. Press Ctrl+C to skip modifying a password.
2. Enter the ipAddrSet -cp 1 command. 3. Enter the required information at the prompts. After assigning the IP addresses, enter the reboot command to restart the DC Director.

4. Turn the AC power switches on the power supplies to ON (I). The LED indicators on the AC power switches display a steady green light. 5. The DC Director performs a power-on self-test (POST) each time it is powered on. POST takes approximately 10 minutes. To bypass POST, use the fastBoot command. For successive reboots, disable POST by using the diagDisablePost command. To prevent an IP address conflict, configure the IP addresses before connecting the DC Director to the network.
Establish a serial connection
1. Verify that the DC Director is powered on and that POST is complete by verifying that all power LED indicators on the port, Control Processor, and Core Switch blades display a steady green light. 2. Remove the shipping cap from the SERVICE port on the active Control Processor blade. Use the serial cable provided with the DC Director to connect the SERVICE port on the active Control Processor blade to a workstation.
To set the initial configuration parameters: 1. Log in to the DC Director, see "Establish a serial connection". 2. Set up IP addresses on the DC Director and the Control Processor blades, see "Configure IP addresses". 3. Establish an Ethernet connection (optional). 4. Specify a DC Director switch and chassis name. 5. Specify a domain ID for the DC Director. 6. Verify that the Port Identifier (PID) mode matches the rest of the fabric and then connect the DC Director to the fabric. 7. Enable software licenses, as required. 8. Back up the configuration. See the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 6.x administrator guide for detailed configuration information.
Specify the -sw 0 IP address. There is no -sw 1 IP address.
For most UNIX systems, enter: tip /dev/ttyb -9600
Set the initial configuration parameters
Establish an Ethernet connection IMPORTANT: Connecting the CP blades to a private network/VLAN is recommended. 1. Remove the shipping plug from the Ethernet port on the active Control Processor blade. 2. Insert one end of an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port. 3. Connect the other end to an Ethernet 10/100/1000 Base-T LAN. Access the DC Director by remote connection using any of the management tools, such as Telnet, Web Tools, or Fabric Manager. 4. To complete any additional configuration procedures through a Telnet session, log in to the DC Director by Telnet, using the admin login. The default password is “password”.
Manage cables The cable management comb shown in (Figure 1) is attached to the chassis under the chassis door and allows for simple cable management. Installing the cable management comb does not disrupt service. Route cables down in front of the blades to keep LEDs visible. Leave at least one meter of slack for each fiber optic cable to provide room to remove and replace blades IMPORTANT: Do not route the cables in front of the air exhaust vent, which is located at the top of the port side of the chassis.
