Introducing the Switch

The ProCurve Series 6400cl Switch are multiport switches that can be used to build high-performance switched workgroup networks. These switches are store-and-forward devices offering low latency for high-speed networking.

ProCurve Switch 10-Gig CX4 6400cl-6XG (J8433A)

ProCurve Switch 10-Gig 6410cl-6XG (J8474A)

Switch the Introducing

Throughout this manual, this switch will be abbreviated as the Switch 6400cl6XG or Switch 6410cl-6XG and collectively as the Series 6400cl Switch devices.

The Switch 6400cl-6XG and Switch 6410cl-6XG have respectively, six fixed copper or six flexible media X2 transceiver slots, and one slot is provided in the back of the device to support a two port 10-Gigabit per second Ethernet (10-GbE) module to provide box connectivity to other switch boxes, to a 10-GbE concentrator or to any Ethernet compatible uplink.

The Series 6400cl Switch devices can be connected to a ProCurve 600 Redundant and External Power supply (RPS/EPS (J8168A)) and receive full redundant power if the internal power supply in the switch fails. The RPS/EPS unit will immediately provide all the power necessary to keep the switch running.

1-1

Introducing the Switch

Introducing the Switch

These switches are designed to be used primarily in a high-density wiring closet or in a data center. These switches can directly connect computers and servers to provide dedicated bandwidth to those devices, and can build a switched network infrastructure by connecting the switch to other switches and routers that support 10-GbE. In addition, the Series 6400cl Switch devices offer full network management capabilities.

This chapter describes the Series 6400cl Switch devices, including:

Console Port

This port is used to connect a console to the switch by using the serial cable supplied with the switch. This connection is described under “Connect a Console to the Switch” in chapter 2, “Installing the Switch.” The console can be a PC or workstation running a VT-100 terminal emulator, or a VT-100 terminal. The console port is located on the front of both 6400cl devices.

Network Ports

Six fixed copper ports or six flexible media X2 transceiver 10-GbE slots.

One, 10-GbE expansion slot. These switches provide a single slot in the back of the device that can accept a 2 by 10-GbE transceiver module. There are two types of modules:

10-GbE Copper cl Module (J8434A) - provides two CX4 fixed copper ports

10-GbE Media-Flex cl Module (J8435A) - provides two flexible media slots

For more information see the ProCurve Switch cl Modules Installation Guide.

Reset Button

This button is used to reset the switch while it is powered on. This action clears any temporary error conditions that may have occurred and executes the switch self test.

Clear Button

This button is used for these purposes:

Deleting Passwords - When pressed by itself for at least one second, the button deletes any switch console access passwords that you may have configured. Use this feature if you have misplaced the password and need console access.

This button is provided for your convenience, but its presence means that if you are concerned with the security of the switch configuration and operation, you should make sure the switch is installed in a secure location, such as a locked wiring closet.

The Clear button can also be disabled using a CLI command, see your “Access Security Guide, the Configuring Font-Panel Security section,” which is on the Documentation CD-ROM that came with your switch.

Introducing the Switch

Front of the Switch

Restoring Factory Default Configuration - When pressed with the Reset button in a specific pattern, any configuration changes you may have made through the switch console, the web browser interface, and SNMP management are removed, and the factory default configuration is restored to the switch. For the specific method to restore the factory default configuration, see “Restoring the Factory Default Configuration” on page 9, in chapter 4, “Troubleshooting” of this manual.

10-GbE Media-Flex cl Module (J8435A) - provides two flexible media slots that support a number of different transceivers. See the ProCurve Switch cl Modules Installation Guide for more information on supported transceivers.

RPS Input Port

The Series 6400cl Switch supports connectivity to a redundant power supply. The “ProCurve 600 Redundant and External Power Supply (RPS/EPS) (J8168A) is an accessory product for the Series 6400cl Switch devices. The RPS/EPS provides redundant power to any one of up to six switch products, to back up the power supply in the switch in case of loss of AC power. See Step 8 of the installation instructions page 2-15 for more information.

Power Connector

The Series 6400cl Switch devices do not have a power switch; they are powered on when connected to an active AC power source. These switches automatically adjust to any voltage between 100--240 volts and either 50 or 60 Hz. There are no voltage range settings required.

Installation Precautions:

Follow these precautions when installing the Series 6400cl Switch devices.

The rack or cabinet should be adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable and/or falling over. Devices installed in a rack or cabinet should be mounted as low as possible, with the heaviest devices at the bottom and progressively lighter devices installed above.

For safe operation, do not install the switch with the back face of the switch (with the fan vents) facing either downward or upward.

Left side vents cannot be placed downward. (That is, the left side of the unit while facing the front.)

For safe operation, use only screws provided with your rack mount kit to secure mounting brackets to the switch. Use of longer or improper screws may damage internal components

Ensure the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use the power cord supplied with the switch to connect it to the power source.

If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the switch, be sure to use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the switch.

When installing the switch, the AC outlet should be near the switch and should be easily accessible in case the switch must be powered off.

Ensure the switch does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and overcurrent protection. To determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add together the ampere ratings of all devices installed on the same circuit as the switch and compare the total with the rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the devices near the AC power connectors.

Do not install the switch in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might exceed 55°C (131°F)1.

Ensure the air flow around the sides and back of the switch is not restricted.

For safe operation, proper switch cooling, and reduction of electromagnetic emissions, ensure a slot cover is installed on any unused module slot.

1 If you are installing either of the Series 6400cl Switch devices using one of the fiber transceivers, the operating ambient temperature should not exceed 40°C (104°F). See transceiver specifications in the ProCurve Switch cl Modules Installation Guide.

The ProCurve X2 fiber optic transceivers are Class 1 or Class 1M laser

 

devices. Avoid direct eye exposure to the beam coming from the

 

transmit port.

 

a. Slide the transceiver in until it stops.1

 

1If you are installing either of the Series 6400cl Switch devices using a fiber transceiver, the operating ambient temperature should not exceed 40°C (104°F). See transceiver specifications in the ProCurve Switch cl Modules Installation Guide.

b.Push firmly until the gasket seats against the bulkhead.

Bail

N o t e

When switch power is on, the Link and Activity LEDs will come on for

 

approximately two seconds and then go off. This is confirmation the

 

transceiver is installed and seated correctly.

 

c. If your transceiver has a bail, move the bail up, if not your transceiver is

 

 

now completely installed. Refer to the ProCurve Switch cl Module

 

Installation Guide for more details.

To remove the transceiver:

If your transceiver has a bail, lower the bail until it is approximately horizontal, and then using the bail, pull the transceiver from the slot. If your transceiver does not have a bail, pull the transceiver straight out.
