Questions & Answers
What is the HP SN8000B 8-Slot Power Pack + Director Switch?
The HP SN8000B 8-Slot Power Pack + Director Switch is an integrated Fibre Channel SAN switch module for HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosures, providing eight high-speed fabric ports and centralized power management.
How many ports and slots does the HP SN8000B support?
The HP SN8000B delivers eight full-fabric Fibre Channel ports in a single interconnect bay, supporting up to eight server blades per switch with no additional expansion modules required.
What Fibre Channel speeds are supported by the SN8000B?
The SN8000B supports 2 Gb/s, 4 Gb/s, 8 Gb/s and 16 Gb/s Fibre Channel speeds, auto-negotiating to the highest common rate between endpoints for maximum throughput.
Is the HP SN8000B compatible with HP BladeSystem c7000 enclosures?
Yes. The SN8000B is fully compatible with HP BladeSystem c7000 and c3000 enclosures, fitting into standard interconnect bays and integrating with HP Onboard Administrator for unified management.
How do I install the SN8000B in my BladeSystem enclosure?
To install, power down the enclosure, slide the SN8000B into an available interconnect bay (typically bay 4 or 8), secure the latch, reconnect I/O and power on; the Onboard Administrator will detect and configure it automatically.
Can I mix the SN8000B with other SAN switch brands?
You can interoperate the SN8000B with other Fibre Channel switches that support standard FC protocols, but HP recommends using identical Brocade-based devices or consistent firmware versions for optimal stability.
What zoning and fabric management features are available?
The SN8000B supports fabric-based zoning, port security, trunking and advanced VSAN isolation, all manageable through HP Virtual Connect Manager, CLI or Brocade Fabric OS for granular SAN control.
Which transceivers and cables are supported?
The SN8000B accepts standard SFP+ transceivers (for 8 Gb/s and 16 Gb/s) and SFPs (for 2 Gb/s and 4 Gb/s) and works with OM2/OM3 fibre or Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables for distances up to 100 meters.
How do I monitor port status and performance?
Use HP SAN Network Advisor or Brocade Fabric OS CLI to view real-time port statistics, error counters and throughput graphs; alerts can be configured via SNMP or email notifications.
Does the SN8000B support hot-swapping?
Yes. The SN8000B is a hot-pluggable interconnect module that can be inserted or removed without powering down the entire BladeSystem enclosure, ensuring zero downtime during maintenance.
What are the power and thermal specifications?
The SN8000B draws up to 150 W and is designed for enterprise-grade airflow in HP c-Class enclosures, operating between 10 °C and 35 °C with a relative humidity of 10 – 85 % non-condensing.
Can I configure redundant fabrics with multiple SN8000B units?
Yes. You can install two SN8000B modules in separate interconnect bays to create redundant fabric paths, ensuring high availability and non-disruptive failover for critical SAN traffic.
What management interfaces are available?
Management options include the HP Onboard Administrator GUI, HP Virtual Connect Manager, Brocade Fabric OS WebTools and CLI, plus SNMP for integration with third-party network monitoring systems.
What warranty and support options does HP offer?
The SN8000B comes with a one-year limited warranty and 90 days of technical support. Optional HP Care Pack services extend coverage to three or five years with on-site exchange or next-business-day response.
How does the SN8000B improve SAN performance?
By consolidating up to eight high-speed Fibre Channel links into a single director class switch, the SN8000B reduces latency, increases throughput up to 128 Gb/s aggregate and streamlines SAN cabling.
