Flexport
Edge Switches can be purchased at a discount with all Fibre Channel ports disabled. The optional
Flexport feature is a hardware port expansion kit that lets you upgrade switch capacity on demand
in eight-port increments. Flexport kits are available to upgrade the:
•
Edge Switch 2/32 from 16 to 24 ports, or from 24 to 32 ports.
•
Edge Switch 2/24 from 8 to 16 ports, or from 16 to 24 ports.
Each port expansion kit includes eight SFP optical transceivers and upgrade instructions.
To enable the added port capacity through the Element Manager, a feature key must be purchased
and installed through the Configure Feature Key dialog box. There are no other configuration
options in HAFM or Element Manager for this feature.
For complete instructions on installing Flexport hardware and upgrading your switch, refer to the
HP StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/24 Flexport upgrade instructions or the HP StorageWorks Edge
Switch 2/32 Flexport upgrade instructions.
