Description
Overview of Synergy 12000 Frame
The HPE 12GBPS SAS Connection Switch Module, part number 755985-B21, is a hardware component designed for use in HPE Synergy 12000 Frames. It is a type of SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) switch that enables connectivity between Synergy compute modules and SAS storage devices.
The switch module features 16 SAS ports with a maximum bandwidth of 12 Gbps per port, allowing for high-speed data transfers between the compute modules and storage devices. It also supports SAS expanders, enabling the connection of additional storage devices.
The module is hot-swappable, meaning it can be replaced without the need to power down the Synergy system. It also features LED indicators for easy status monitoring.
Installation Requirements and Guidelines
The HPE 755985-B21 SAS Connection Switch Module is a component designed to be installed in the HPE Synergy 12000 Frame, which is a modular IT infrastructure solution that allows for easy management and scaling of compute, storage, and networking resources.
Installation Requirements: To install the HPE 755985-B21 SAS Connection Switch Module, the following requirements must be met:
- The Synergy 12000 Frame must be properly configured and mounted in a rack or enclosure.
- The necessary tools and hardware, such as screws and a screwdriver, must be available.
- The HPE SAS cables must be available for connecting the SAS connection switch module to the servers and storage devices.
Guidelines for Installation: To install the HPE 755985-B21 SAS Connection Switch Module in the Synergy 12000 Frame, the following steps should be followed:
- Power off all servers and storage devices that will be connected to the switch module.
- Locate the open slot in the Synergy 12000 Frame where the switch module will be installed.
- Remove the blank panel covering the slot.
- Install the switch module by aligning it with the guide rails and gently pushing it into the slot until it clicks into place.
- Secure the switch module in place using the provided screws.
- Connect the SAS cables from the servers and storage devices to the switch module.
- Power on the servers and storage devices.
Note that these guidelines are general and may not cover all installation scenarios. Therefore, it is recommended to consult the HPE Synergy 12000 Frame installation guide and the HPE 755985-B21 SAS Connection Switch Module installation guide for detailed instructions and best practices. Additionally, it is important to follow all safety precautions and guidelines when installing any IT infrastructure components.
Configuration and Management of the Module
The HPE 12GBPS SAS Connection Switch Module (part number 755985-B21) is a hardware component designed for use with the HPE Synergy 12000 Frame, a modular system for building and managing software-defined data centers.
The switch module provides connectivity for up to 12 Synergy compute modules, allowing them to access shared storage devices through SAS connections. It also supports SAS zoning, which allows administrators to create logical groupings of SAS devices for improved management and security.
The 755985-B21 module supports both SAS and SATA devices, and provides 48 internal SAS/SATA ports with a maximum data transfer rate of 12 Gb/s. It also includes two external SAS ports for connecting to external storage devices.
In terms of management, the switch module can be configured and managed through the HPE Synergy Composer management tool, which provides a unified interface for managing all components of the Synergy system. The Composer tool allows administrators to view and configure switch settings, create and manage SAS zoning groups, and monitor switch performance and status.
