What is New
This model is the only Compaq SAN Switch that comes with a set of rack mounting rails, allowing the unit to fit within a 1.5U rack space.
What is Storage Services Bundling?
The Storage Services Bundling takes the existing storage products along with the existing services and creates bundles of storage hardware/software and
appropriate services. The increased level of support provides for a higher level of storage system availability for the customer.
OVERVIEW
Compaq's newest introduction for creating the SAN infrastructure is the StorageWorksTM Fibre Channel SAN Switch 16-EL by Compaq. This unit joins the
SAN Switch 8-EL as an economical, but robust, device for the price-sensitive customer looking for the market leader in price/performance.
The Fibre Channel SAN Switch 16-EL has all the high-performance functionality of Compaq's 16-port SAN switch with fewer high-availability features in a
cost reduced, entry-level, full-fabric switch. All ports are based on hot pluggable GBICs, ready to accept short-wave or long-wave interfaces to cover
distances up to 500 meters or up to 10 kilometers. All ports are also configurable as E-ports for switch-to-switch connectivity.
The Fibre Channel SAN Switch 16-EL is an excellent choice for connecting edge devices to a larger SAN fabric or for constructing low-cost, full-fabric
SANs.

The StorageWorks Fibre Channel SAN Switch16-EL is a high-performance, scalable, fabric switch designed for creating SANs with StorageWorks
subsystems. It is a key component of Compaq's Enterprise Network Storage Architecture (ENSA). Major features of this new fabric switch include:
Sixteen 1-Gb/s non-blocking Fibre Channel connections for high data throughput.
Each port will accept either long- or short-wave optical GBICs.
Pre-configured with Fabric operating software, Web-based Management Tools, Zoning software.
Dynamic path rerouting in the event of a link failure.
Direct fabric attached server operating systems now include Sun SolarisTM v2.7.
Support for interconnecting (cascading) up to six switches together for larger SANs.
General 10-kilometer link distance support for switch to switch connections.
Multiple methods for switch management.
Backward compatibility between with currently shipping Fibre Channel SAN switches.
Automatic data routing and re-routing, self-healing, and almost unlimited scalability.
With a height of only 1.5U, it ships with special rack mounting rails included. (It is the only Compaq switch that has this feature.)

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
Capacity
Sixteen 1 Gb ports support long or short wavelength hot pluggable GBICs (not included).
Compatibility Testing
Backward compatible with all Compaq Fibre Channel fabric switches
Fault Recovery
Power-On Self-Test (POST) and online diagnostics perform thorough port-level testing while the switch is running. Per-port statistics help in diagnosing
and isolating problem ports. Any port can be removed from a loop, and the switch will continue to operate. Embedded facilities automatically disable failing
ports. They are automatically disabled and restarted once the problem has cleared.
Manageability
Web management, SWCC Support
Serviceability
SAN Switch 16-EL is a field replaceable unit. There are no individually serviceable parts.
Rack Density
1.5 U (2.6)
Configuration versatility
"Universal Ports" self-configure to the type of device connected to them. They automatically detect a fabric-attached device (F port), a Fibre
Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) attached device (FL port), or another StorageWorks Fibre Channel SAN Switch (E port).
A unique translative addressing allows private loop devices to be addressed by fabric attached devices.
Hot pluggable, industry-standard GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter)
Short-wave GBIC supports distances up to 500 meters between server and switch, and between storage subsystem and switch, using multi-mode
fiber optic cable.
Long-wave GBIC supports distances of up to 10 kilometers between switches using single-mode fiber optic cable.
New Fibre Channel SAN Switches use the same GBICs and cabling as previous Fibre Channel switches.
Zoning software enables creations of multiple "logical" SANs within a switch fabric
Zone members only see other members of the zone.
Devices may belong to more than one zone.
Zones may be configured dynamically.
Easy switch management
Administrative functions take place from an existing LAN based system or locally in the SAN itself. Supported management methods include:
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol).
Telnet.
Web-based Management tools, launched via StorageWorks Command Console.
Telnet command subset via switch front panel display (Fibre Channel SAN Switch/16 only).
Disaster resilience and Scalability
Two switches can be interconnected and separated from each other by up to 10 kilometers.
Support for multiple connections between switches for higher bandwidth and redundancy
Switch fabric automatically determines the most efficient path between server and storage end points and dynamically reroutes data to an alternate
path in the event of an interruption.
