The switch has 16GB of memory and 24-port/24-port active fibre channel ports that allow for multiple storage devices to be connected to the network. This switch can handle a high volume of data transfers simultaneously and is optimized for performance, providing low latency and high-bandwidth capabilities.
For management and administration, the QW938B HP SN3000B switch provides a web-based graphical user interface that allows administrators to easily monitor, manage, and configure the switch. This interface provides a variety of features, including performance monitoring, error reporting, and switch configuration.
Additionally, the switch is equipped with a range of security features, including access control and secure management protocols, to ensure that data transfers are secure and protected. These security features can be configured and managed through the graphical user interface.
Energy Efficiency and Power Consumption
The HP SN3000B 16GB 24-Port/24-Port Active Fibre Channel Switch, model number QW938B, is designed with energy efficiency and low power consumption in mind. It uses a number of power-saving features to reduce energy usage and costs, while still providing reliable performance and network connectivity.
One of the key energy efficiency features of this switch is its use of Dynamic Power Management, which adjusts the power consumption of the switch based on usage patterns. This helps to reduce energy consumption when the switch is not being fully utilized, and ensures that the switch is always operating at peak efficiency.
Another important aspect of the switch’s power consumption is its use of redundant power supplies, which allow for redundant power sources to be used in the event of a failure. This helps to ensure that the switch is always available and performing at optimal levels, even in the case of power outages or other issues.
Environmental Considerations
The QW938B HP SN3000B 16GB 24-Port/24-Port Active Fibre Channel Switch is a device used in a storage area network (SAN) to manage data transfer between servers and storage systems. Environmental considerations for this switch include:
- Operating temperature range: It should be operated within a temperature range of 5°C to 40°C (41°F to 104°F) to ensure reliable performance.
- Humidity: The switch should be operated within a relative humidity range of 10% to 90%, non-condensing, to prevent corrosion and other environmental damage.
- Power: It requires a power supply that provides the correct voltage and current specifications to prevent damage to the switch.
- Ventilation: Adequate ventilation should be provided to prevent overheating, which can cause damage to the switch or reduce its reliability.
- Physical location: The switch should be installed in a secure, dry location that is free from vibration, dust, and other physical hazards.
It is important to consider these environmental factors in order to ensure that the QW938B HP SN3000B 16GB 24-Port/24-Port Active Fibre Channel Switch operates reliably and effectively in your SAN environment.
