Installing feature license keys
A feature license key is a password that enables you to upgrade your switch. To obtain a feature license
key, contact a switch distributor or authorized reseller. License keys vary according to the features you
purchase. The following license key features are available:
• The HP SN6000 Stackable 20Gb ISL Upgrade LTU enables the XPAK ports to transmit at 20 Gb/s
instead of the default 10 Gb/s.
• The HP SN6000 Port Activation Upgrade LTU enables additional SFP ports in increments of four on the
HP SN6000 Stackable 8Gb 12-port Single Power Fibre Channel Switch for totals of 16, 20, or 24
ports.

1. Open the faceplate display for the switch you want to upgrade.
