How to install HPE SN6700B 64Gb 56/24 24-port 64Gb Short Wave SFP56 Port Side Intake Integrated FC
- Power down the chassis and verify proper rack accessibility, cooling, and clearance for airflow around the SN6700B unit and its cabling paths.
- Insert the SN6700B module into the appropriate slot in the HPE B-series Gen7 Fibre Channel switch chassis, ensuring a firm, secure connection with all required backplane interfaces.
- Install the 64Gb Short Wave SFP56 optical transceivers into the 24 ports, aligning and seating each transceiver carefully to prevent damage and ensure proper link establishment.
- Connect host servers and storage arrays to the 24-port fabric links using compatible 64Gb Fibre Channel cables, routing cables to maintain clean paths and adequate airflow.
- Configure the POD upgrade if needed: enable the Port-On-Demand upgrade in the switch management interface, provision the required bandwidth for each transceiver, and validate that the 2x bandwidth is active for the upgraded ports.
Frequently asked questions
-
Q: What is the primary benefit of the HPE SN6700B with POD upgrades?
A: The primary benefit is scalable bandwidth. The DD POD Kit upgrade provides 2x per-transceiver bandwidth, enabling faster data transfers and improved performance for demanding SAN workloads without replacing the core switch hardware. -
Q: What kind of optics does this model use?
A: The SN6700B employs 64Gb Short Wave SFP56 optics, designed for high-density Fibre Channel deployments with lower latency and improved throughput compared to older speeds. -
Q: Is this switch compatible with existing HPE B-series Gen7 fabrics?
A: Yes. It is designed to work within HPE B-series Gen7 64Gb Fibre Channel environments, offering seamless integration and straightforward management. -
Q: How does the Port Side Intake design affect cooling?
A: The Port Side Intake configuration optimizes airflow by directing intake through the ports and surrounding chassis area, helping to dissipate heat more efficiently in densely populated racks. -
Q: Where can I find the official specifications for this product?
A: The official specifications are available from the EC-Synnex catalog using the product's UPC or SKU. If you don't have those identifiers, consult your vendor or HPE documentation for the exact technical details and compatibility notes.

Worth the money
Size: Medium (Pack of 2), Color: Assorted
I've had several sizes of Chuck-It ball launchers for years but had resisted buying the balls to go with them because I had about 50 tennis balls already that cost only pennies apiece and these were quite a bit more expensive. But, I got tired of the dogs chewing up the tennis balls. I'd start a ball throwing session with a brand new ball and for the first few throws it would sail through the air and the dogs would have to work to retrieve it. However on the way back, their jaws would work it, chomp-chomp-chomp. And when they returned to me, they'd want to stand there and chomp some more, despite my command to "Drop it!" Within 30 minutes, the brand new ball would have a hole in it and then instead of sailing several football fields through the air, then bouncing over a couple of trees, I'd throw it and it would piddle unenthusiastically to the end of the driveway before falling to the ground with a sulky thud, not even bothering to bounce.
So - I finally grew tired of going through a ball every time I play with the dogs - which is everyday - and ordered these chuck-it balls. They are the same size as a tennis ball but made of a rubber-like material (not silicone) and after several months of use, have no wear and tear on them at all. The dogs can exercise their gums on them all the way back to me - throw after throw - and the ball still flies the same distance each time, and bounces satisfyingly upon contact with the ground.
The description says "colors may vary" but the first packet I ordered were blue and orange as pictured. Unfortunately my dog lost the orange one the first time we used it. She got thirsty and ran down to our pond for a drink, dropped the ball in the pond and it hasn't been seen since. It is dense enough it doesn't float as a tennis ball might, and by now is probably so covered in mud and slime that I wouldn't recognize it if I tripped over it. Lesson learned: we don't throw the ball in the pond pasture any more.
After losing the orange ball, I ordered a second packet of the balls so that I would always have a spare. The second packet is also blue and orange. So while colors may vary, in my experience so far, they haven't (which doesn't matter to me or the dogs).

Super Chewer Friendly!!
Size: Large (Pack of 1), Color: Multi
This ball is perfect for the super Chewer!! It is squishy and durable rubber that stands up to the aggressive chewer. It does not squeak. It has great bounce and is a great toy for fetch. Very cute to watching my pup bring the ball back for another throw. The rubber doesn't stick or have an average powering smell. It smells just like a rubber ball. It is highly functional for a great game of fetch! Highly recommend and very happy with our purchase. It is well worth the price. We will be ordering more.

Durable.
These are great for my 13 lb Schnauzer. Just the right size to keep him occupied! He loves chasing after them when we play catch. They’ve held up well to his sharp teeth.
