2/64 Power Pack
Simplifies enterprise SAN deployment by combining high port density with exceptional scalability,
performance, reliability and availability
Delivers industry-leading port density with up to 128-ports in a single 14U enclosure and up to
256-ports in a single 42U cabinet, facilitating manageable SAN fabrics composed of thousands
of ports
Meets enterprise-level availability requirements with redundant, hot pluggable components, no
single points of failure within the switch, and non-disruptive software upgrades
Supports emerging storage networking technologies with a unique multi-protocol architecture
Provides 1 Gb and 2 Gb operation today with seamless extension to 10 Gb in the future
Employs optional Inter-Switch Link (ISL) Trunking (optional for base model) to provide a high-
speed data path between switches.

NOTE:
The Standard internal PDUs provided with HP StorageWorks cabinets CANNOT be used for the
Core Switch 2/64 when configured in a HP StorageWorks 42U, 9000 series cabinet. Two 30 AMP, 200-
240V, L6-30p PDUs are required per cabinet. The part number for the required 30 AMP PDU is E7681A
(E7681-63001).

Frame Filtering
Frame FilteringFrame Filtering
Frame Filtering
An ASIC based capability in the 2 Gb family of SAN switches that enables new applications and features.
The switch has the ability to "view" the first 64-bytes of the Fibre Channel frame. At this time, Frame
Filtering enables advanced capabilities such as Advanced Zoning and Advanced Performance
Monitoring.

Advanced Zoning
In the 2Gb generation of switches, WWN Zoning and Access Control are enforced by hardware
providing the same simple administration that was previously only enforced with software. Administrators
can organize a physical fabric into logical groups and prevent unauthorized access by devices outside
the Zone.
