12 Preparing for installation Safety recommendations To avoid any equipment damage or bodily injury caused by improper use, read the following safety recommendations before installation. Note that the recommendations do not cover every possible hazardous condition. Before cleaning the switch, unplug all power cords from the switch. Do not clean the switch with wet cloth or liquid. Do not place the switch near water or in a damp environment. Prevent water or moisture from entering the switch chassis. Do not place the switch on an unstable case or desk. The switch might be severely damaged in case of a fall. Ensure proper ventilation of the equipment room and keep the air inlet and outlet vents of the switch free of obstruction. Connect the yellow-green protection grounding cable before power-on. Make sure that the operating voltage is in the required range. To avoid electrical shocks, do not open the chassis while the switch is operating or when the switch is just powered off. When replacing FRUs, including interface cards and power supplies, wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap to avoid damaging the units. Examining the installation site The 5500 HI switches must be used indoors. You can mount your switch in a rack or on a workbench, but make sure: Adequate clearance is reserved at the air inlet and exhaust vents for ventilation. The rack or workbench has a good ventilation system. Identify the hot aisle and cold aisle at the installation site, and make sure that ambient air flows into the switch from the cold aisle and exhausts to the hot aisle. Identify the airflow designs of neighboring devices, and prevent hot air flowing out of the bottom device from entering the top device. The rack is sturdy enough to support the switch and its accessories. The rack or workbench is well earthed. To ensure normal operation and long service life of your switch, install it in an environment that meets the requirements described in the following subsections. Temperature/humidity Maintain appropriate temperature and humidity in the equipment room. Lasting high relative humidity can cause poor insulation, electricity creepage, mechanical property change of materials, and metal corrosion. 7

13 Cleanness Lasting low relative humidity can cause washer contraction and ESD and bring problems including loose captive screws and circuit failure. High temperature can accelerate the aging of insulation materials and significantly lower the reliability and lifespan of the switch. For the temperature and humidity requirements, see "Appendix A Technical specifications." Dust buildup on the chassis may result in electrostatic adsorption, which causes poor contact of metal components and contact points, especially when indoor relative humidity is low. In the worst case, electrostatic adsorption can cause communication failure. Table 2 Dust concentration limit in the equipment room Substance Dust Concentration limit (particles/m³) 3 x 10 4 (no visible dust on the tabletop over three days) NOTE: Dust diameter 5 μm The equipment room must also meet strict limits on salts, acids, and sulfides to eliminate corrosion and premature aging of components, as shown in Table 3. Table 3 Harmful gas limits in the equipment room Gas Maximum concentration (mg/m 3 ) SO H 2 S NH Cl EMI All electromagnetic interference (EMI) sources, from outside or inside of the switch and application system, adversely affect the switch in a conduction pattern of capacitance coupling, inductance coupling, electromagnetic wave radiation, or common impedance (including the grounding system) coupling. To prevent EMI, take the following actions: If AC power is used, use a single-phase three-wire power receptacle with protection earth (PE) to filter interference from the power grid. Keep the switch far away from radio transmitting stations, radar stations, and high-frequency devices. Use electromagnetic shielding, for example, shielded interface cables, when necessary. Route interface cables only indoors to prevent signal ports from getting damaged by overvoltage or overcurrent caused by lightning strikes. Laser safety The 5500 HI switches are Class 1 laser devices. 8

14 WARNING! Do not stare into any fiber port when the switch has power. The laser light emitted from the optical fiber may hurt your eyes. 9

15 Installing the switch CAUTION: Keep the tamper-proof seal on a mounting screw on the chassis cover intact, and if you want to open the chassis, contact HP for permission. Otherwise, HP shall not be liable for any consequence.

22 Grounding the switch WARNING! Correctly connecting the switch grounding cable is crucial to lightning protection and EMI protection. The power input end of the switch has a noise filter, whose central ground is directly connected to the chassis to form the chassis ground (commonly known as PGND). You must securely connect this chassis ground to the earth so the faradism and leakage electricity can be safely released to the earth to minimize EMI susceptibility of the switch. You can ground the switch in one of the following ways, depending on the grounding conditions available at the installation site: Grounding the switch with a grounding strip Grounding the switch with a grounding conductor buried in the earth ground Grounding the switch by using the AC power cord NOTE: The power and grounding terminals in this section are for illustration only. Grounding the switch with a grounding strip WARNING! Connect the grounding cable to the grounding system in the equipment room. Do not connect it to a fire main or lightning rod. If a grounding strip is available at the installation site, connect the grounding cable to the grounding strip. To connect the rear grounding point to a grounding strip: 1. Remove the grounding screw from the rear panel of the switch chassis. 2. Attach the grounding screw to the ring terminal of the grounding cable. 3. Use a screwdriver to fasten the grounding screw into the grounding screw hole. IMPORTANT: Orient the grounding cable as shown in Figure 23 so you can easily install or remove power supplies. 17

Check that the grounding cable has been securely connected to the rear grounding point. 5. Remove the hex nut of a grounding post on the grounding strip. 6. Cut the grounding cable as appropriate for connecting to the grounding strip. 7. Peel 5 mm (0.20 in) of insulation sheath by using a wire stripper, and insert the bare metal part through the black insulation covering into the end of the ring terminal supplied with the switch. 8. Secure the metal part of the cable to the ring terminal with a crimper, cover the joint with the insulation covering, and heat the insulation covering with a blow dryer to completely cover the metal part. 9. Connect the ring terminal to the grounding post of the grounding strip, and fasten it with the removed hex nut.

24 Grounding the switch with a grounding conductor buried in the earth ground If the installation site has no grounding strips, but earth ground is available, hammer a 0.5 m (1.64 ft) or longer angle iron or steel tube into the earth ground to serve as a grounding conductor. The dimensions of the angle iron must be at least mm ( in). The steel tube must be zinc-coated and its wall thickness must be at least 3.5 mm (0.14 in). Weld the yellow-green grounding cable to the angel iron or steel tube and treat the joint for corrosion protection. Figure 26 Grounding the switch by burying the grounding conductor into the earth ground (1) Grounding screw (2) Chassis rear panel (3) Grounding cable (4) Earth (5) Joint (6) Grounding conductor Grounding the switch by using the AC power cord If the installation site has no grounding strips or earth ground, you ground an AC-powered switch through the PE wire of the power cord. Make sure that: The power cord has a PE terminal. The ground contact in the power outlet is securely connected to the ground in the power distribution room or on the AC transformer side. The power cord is securely connected to the power outlet. NOTE: If the ground contact in the power outlet is not connected to the ground, report the problem and reconstruct the grounding system. 19

Installing a PSR720-56A/PSR A power supply CAUTION: To prevent damage to the power supply or the connectors on the backplane, insert the power supply gently. If you encounter a hard resistance while inserting the power supply, pull out the power supply and insert it again. For the PSR720-56A and PSR A power supplies, the installation and removal procedures are the same. The following takes the PSR720-56A power supply as an example. To install a power supply: 1. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is well grounded. 2. Unpack the power supply and check that the power supply model is correct. Put away the packaging box and packaging bag of the power supply for future use. 22

28 3. Correctly orient the power supply with the power supply slot (use the letters on the power supply faceplate for orientation), grasp the handle of the power supply with one hand and support its bottom with the other, and slide the power supply slowly along the guide rails into the slot until you hear that the latch of the power supply clicks into the slot. When you insert the power supply into the slot, you can do that through slight inertia so that the terminals of the power supply can have a good touch with the backplane. The PSR A power supply adds 64 mm (2.52 in) to the depth of the switch, as shown in Figure Install the filler module over the empty power supply slot to prevent dust and ensure proper ventilation if you install only one power supply. Figure 32 Installing the power supply Figure 33 PSR A in the chassis Removing a PSR720-56A/PSR A power supply To remove a power supply: 1. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is well grounded. 2. Disconnect the power cord. 3. Press the latch towards the handle, and pull the power supply along the guide rails until it is part-way out. 4. Grasp the handle of the power supply with one hand, support the bottom with the other hand, and pull the power supply slowly along the guide rails out of the slot. 23

29 Put away the removed power supply in an antistatic bag or the power supply package bag for future use. 5. Install the filler module to prevent dust and ensure proper ventilation if no power supply is installed in the slot. Figure 34 Removing the power supply 1 2 The switch provides one filler module for the power supply slot. To prevent dust and ensure good ventilation, promptly install a filler module for an empty power supply slot. To do so, slide the filler module slowly along the guide rails into the slot until you hear that the latch of the filler module clicks into the slot, as shown in Figure 35. IMPORTANT: When you install a filler module, make sure the blade of the flathead screwdriver sign on the filler module points upwards. 24

30 Figure 35 Installing a filler module If the power supply slot where you want to install a power supply is covered by a filler module, remove the filler module first. To do so, insert a flathead screwdriver through the handle and pull the filler module outward along the guide rails, as shown in Figure 36. Put away the removed filler module for future use.

33 Figure 39 Connecting the PSR720-56A Installing/removing an interface card This section uses the LSPM2SP2P (JD368B) interface card as an example to describe the procedures of installing and removing an interface card. For the interface cards available for the switch series, see "Interface cards." Installing an interface card IMPORTANT: On the G-4SFP HI (2 slots), G-SFP HI (2 slots), G-SFP HI TAA (2 slots), G-PoE+-4SFP HI (2 slots), and G-PoE+-4SFP HI TAA (2 slots) switches, you can install the LSP5GP8P0 (JG314A) and LSP5GT8P (JG313A) cards only in SLOT1. To install an interface card: 1. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is well grounded. 2. Loosen the mounting screws on the filler panel over the interface card slot with a Phillips screwdriver and remove the filler panel. Put away the removed filler panel for future use. 28

34 Figure 40 Removing the filler panel over an interface card slot 3. Hold the captive screws on the front panel of the interface card, and gently push the interface card in along the slot guide rails until the interface card is in close contact with the switch chassis (see callout 1 in Figure 41.) 4. Tighten the captive screws with a Phillips screwdriver to secure the interface card in the slot (see callout 2 in Figure 41). Figure 41 Installing an interface card Figure 42 LSP5GT8P in the chassis 29

35 NOTE: The LSP5GT8P (JG313A) interface card adds mm (1.37 in) to the depth of the 5500 HI switch. Figure 43 LSP5GP8P0 in the chassis NOTE: The LSP5GP8P0 (JG314A) interface card adds mm (2.75 in) to the depth of the 5500 HI switch. Removing an interface card CAUTION: Do not touch the surface-mounted components directly with your hands. If no new card is to be installed, install the filler panel to prevent dust and ensure good ventilation in the switch. To remove an interface card: 1. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is well grounded. 2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to completely loosen the captive screws at both sides of the interface card. 3. Gently pull the interface card along the guide rails until it completely comes out of the switch chassis. Installing/removing a CX4/SFP+ cable This section assumes that you have installed a CX4/SFP+ interface card. The installation and removal procedures for the CX4 cable and the SFP+ cable are the same. This section uses the SFP+ cable as an example. The CX4 and SFP+ cables for this switch series are hot swappable. Installing a CX4/SFP+ cable CAUTION: The bend radius for a cable must be at least eight times the cable diameter. To connect a CX4 or SFP+ cable to a port on a CX4/SFP+ interface card: 30

36 1. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is well grounded. Then unpack the dedicated SFP+ cable. 2. Hold the connector at one end of the cable, with the pull latch on top. 3. Orient the connector with the port and insert it into the port. Removing a CX4/SFP+ cable To remove a CX4 or SFP+ cable from a port on a CX4/SFP+ interface card: 1. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is well grounded. 2. Hold the cable connector and pull the pull latch of the connector to remove the cable from the switch. Verifying the installation After you complete the installation, verify that: There is enough space for heat dissipation around the switch, and the rack or workbench is stable. The grounding cable is securely connected. The correct power source is used. The power cords are properly connected. All the interface cables are cabled indoors. If any cable is routed outdoors, verify that the socket strip with lightning protection has been properly connected. 31

37 Accessing the switch for the first time Setting up the configuration environment The first time you access the switch you must use a console cable to connect a console terminal, for example, a PC, to the console port on the switch. Figure 44 Connecting the console port to a terminal Connecting the console cable Console cable A console cable is an 8-core shielded cable, with a crimped RJ-45 connector at one end for connecting to the console port of the switch, and a DB-9 female connector at the other end for connecting to the serial port on the console terminal. Figure 45 Console cable A side Pos.9 Main label A 8 B B side 1 Pos.1 Connection procedure To connect a terminal (for example, a PC) to the switch: 1. Plug the DB-9 female connector of the console cable to the serial port of the PC. 32

38 2. Connect the RJ-45 connector to the console port of the switch. NOTE: Identify the mark on the console port and make sure that you are connecting to the correct port. The serial ports on PCs do not support hot swapping. If the switch has been powered on, connect the console cable to the PC before connecting to the switch, and when you disconnect the cable, first disconnect from the switch. Setting terminal parameters To configure and manage the switch, you must run a terminal emulator program on the console terminal. The following are the required terminal settings: Bits per second 9,600 Data bits 8 Parity None Stop bits 1 Flow control None Emulation VT100 To set terminal parameters, for example, on a Windows XP HyperTerminal: 1. Select Start > All Programs > Accessories > Communications > HyperTerminal. The Connection Description dialog box appears. 2. Enter the name of the new connection in the Name field and click OK. Figure 46 Connection description 3. Select the serial port to be used from the Connect using list, and click OK. 33

39 Figure 47 Setting the serial port used by the HyperTerminal connection 4. Set Bits per second to 9600, Data bits to 8, Parity to None, Stop bits to 1, and Flow control to None, and click OK. Figure 48 Setting the serial port parameters 5. Select File > Properties in the HyperTerminal window. 34

40 Figure 49 HyperTerminal window 6. On the Settings tab, set the emulation to VT100 and click OK. Figure 50 Setting terminal emulation in Switch Properties dialog box 35

41 Powering on the switch Before powering on the switch, verify that: The power cord is properly connected. The input power voltage meets the requirement of the switch. The console cable is properly connected, the terminal or PC used for configuration has started, and the configuration parameters have been set. Power on the switch. During the startup process, you can access Boot ROM menus to perform tasks such as software upgrade and file management. The Boot ROM interface and menu options differ with software versions. For more information about Boot ROM menu options, see the software-matching release notes for the device. After the startup completes, you can access the CLI to configure the switch. NOTE: For more information about the configuration commands and CLI, see HP 5500 HI Switch Series Configuration Guides and HP 5500 HI Switch Series Command References. 36

42 Setting up an IRF fabric You can use HP Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) technology to connect and virtualize HP 5500 HI switches into a virtual switch called an "IRF fabric" or "IRF virtual device" for flattened network topology, and high availability, scalability, and manageability. IMPORTANT: To set up IRF connection between 5500 HI switches, you must use 10-Gigabit ports. IRF fabric setup flowchart Figure 51 IRF fabric setup flowchart To set up an IRF fabric: 37

43 Step 1. Plan IRF fabric setup 2. Install IRF member switches 3. Install the grounding cable, power supplies, and power cords Description Plan the installation site and IRF fabric setup parameters: Planning IRF fabric size and the installation site Identifying the master switch and planning IRF member IDs Planning IRF topology and connections Identifying physical IRF ports on the member switches Planning the cabling scheme See "Installing the switch in a 19-inch rack" or "Mounting the switch on a workbench." See "Grounding the switch," "Installing/removing a power supply," and "Connecting the power cord." 4. Power on the switches N/A 5. (Optional) Install an expansion interface card See "Installing/removing an interface card." 6. Configure basic IRF settings See HP 5500 HI Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide. 7. Connect the physical IRF ports Connect the physical IRF ports on the switches. Use CX4 cables to connect CX4 ports over a short distance. Use XFP transceiver modules and fibers to connect XFP ports over a long distance. Use SFP+ transceiver modules and fibers to connect SFP+ ports over a long distance, or use SFP+ cables to connect SFP+ ports over a short distance. All switches except the master switch automatically reboot, and the IRF fabric is established. Planning IRF fabric setup This section describes issues that an IRF fabric setup plan must cover. Planning IRF fabric size and the installation site Identify the number of required IRF member switches, depending on the user density and upstream bandwidth requirements. The switching capacity of an IRF fabric equals the total switching capacities of all member switches. Plan the installation site depending on your network solution, as follows: Place all IRF member switches in one rack for centralized high-density access. Distribute the IRF member switches in different racks for dispersed access. NOTE: A 5500 HI IRF fabric can have up to nine switches. As your business grows, you can plug a 5500 HI switch into an IRF fabric to increase the switching capacity without any topology change or replacement. 38

44 Identifying the master switch and planning IRF member IDs Determine which switch you want to use as the master for managing all member switches in the IRF fabric. An IRF fabric has only one master switch. You configure and manage all member switches in the IRF fabric at the command line interface of the master switch. NOTE: IRF member switches will automatically elect a master. You can affect the election result by assigning a high member priority to the intended master switch. For more information about master election, see HP 5500 HI Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide. Prepare an IRF member ID assignment scheme. An IRF fabric uses member IDs to uniquely identify and manage its members, and you must assign each IRF member switch a unique member ID. Planning IRF topology and connections You can create an IRF fabric in daisy chain topology, or more reliably, ring topology. In ring topology, the failure of one IRF link does not cause the IRF fabric to split as in daisy chain topology. Rather, the IRF fabric changes to a daisy chain topology without interrupting network services. You connect the IRF member switches through IRF ports, the logical interfaces for the connections between IRF member switches. Each IRF member switch has two IRF ports: IRF-port 1 and IRF-port 2. To use an IRF port, you must bind at least one physical port to it. When connecting two neighboring IRF member switches, you must connect the physical ports of IRF-port 1 on one switch to the physical ports of IRF-port 2 on the other switch. The 5500 HI switches can provide 10-GE IRF connections through the SFP+ ports on the front panel and the CX4, XFP, or SFP+ interface card at the rear of the chassis, and you can bind several CX4, XFP, or SFP+ ports to an IRF port for increased bandwidth and availability. NOTE: Figure 52 and Figure 53 show the topologies for an IRF fabric made up of three G-4SFP HI (2 slots) switches that have two 2-port 10 GE SFP+ interface cards for IRF connections. The IRF port connections in the two figures are for illustration only, and more connection methods are available. For information about the physical ports available for IRF connections on different 5500 HI switches, see Table 6. Figure 52 IRF fabric in daisy chain topology 39
