second switch is not configure yet and fos:6.2.0d model HP 8/40 Power Pack FC  SAN Switch

A better plan is to update your switch firmware. Both of them.

A quick check at HP Storage SPOCK (Single Point of Connectivity Knowledge for HP Storage Products) http://www.hp.com/storage/spock shows the current B-Series FC Switch Connectivity stream.
Both switches are running unsupported versions of firmware.

Upgrade both to 7.4.0a (latest and recommended) and then connect them.
