1.1.1 Introduction to S7500 Series Ethernet Switches
H3C S7500 Series Ethernet Switches (hereinaf ter ref erred to as th e S7500 seri es) are
modular, large-capacity L2/L3 Ethernet switches that support wire-speed forwarding.
The S7500 series are designed for IP metropolitan area networks (MANs), large
enterprise networks, and campus networks.
Together with Huawei MA5200 Ethernet Access Management Systems, H3C
S3100/S3600/S5600/S9500 Series Ethernet Switches, and H3C series routers, the
S7500 series can provide comprehensive networking solutions for MANs and
enterprise networks.
Figure 1-1 S7500 series in MAN
The S7500 series support AC and DC power supply redundancy, and now include the
models S7502, S7503, S7506, and S7506R.
zThe S7502 provides one switching & routing processing unit (SRPU) slot and one
line processing unit (LPU) slot. Both the SRPU and LPU can provide high-density
service ports.
z The S7503 provides one SRPU slot and three LPU slots.
z The S7506 provides one SRPU slot and six LPU slots.
z The S7506R provides two SRPU slots for redundancy backup and six LPU slots.
z Refer to H3C S7502 Ethernet Switch Installation Manual for detailed information
about the S7502.
zIn the later chapters, only the S7503, S7506, and S7506R are involved.
1.1.2 Introduction to Switching Engines
Switching engines, also known as SRPUs, are the core of the S7500 series, and
include the following models:
z Salience III (LS81SRPG)
z Salience III Plus (LS81SRPG1)
z Salience III Edge (LS81SRPG3)
An SRPU generally has the following functions:
z L2 and L3 data forwarding between LPUs
z Route calculation
z LPU monitoring
z Processing of monitoring signals of components such as the system power and
fans
Salience III series SRPUs provide a high packet forwarding rate and switching capacity .
Each SRPU provides four 1000Base-X SFP ports (only for Salience III and Salience III
Edge) and one hot-swappable CF card port. The CF card stores the log and host
version to facilitate online software upgrade.

[1]: This is the switching capacity when load sharing is implemented by configuring two
Salience III/Salience III plus engines on the S7506R.
zSalience III: If load sharing is implemented on the S7506R, the switching capacity
can be up to 384 Gbps. It provides an XG high speed bus, supporting LPUs
applying an XG high speed bus.
zSalience III Plus: If load sharing is implemented on the S7506R, the switching
capacity can be up to 768 Gbps. It provides XG high speed bus, supporting LPUs
applying an XG high speed bus.
zSalience III Edge: The switching capacity is 96 Gbps.
The Salience III series SRPUs provide one console port, one 10Base-T /100Base-TX
port, four 1000Base-X-SFP ports (only for Salience III and Salience III Edge), and one
port for a hot-swappable CF card, which stores the host version to facilitate the online
software upgrade.
Note:
Both Salience III and Salience III Plus provide an XG high speed bus and support the
LPUs that adopt an XG high speed bus. However, they provide the high speed bus in
different ways. If a Salience III SRPU is used, it can provide the XG high speed bus only
for the LPUs in the last two slots of the switch. If a Salience III Plus SRPU is used, it can
provide the XG high speed bus for LPUs in all slots.
The following figures show the appearance of these three SRPU models.

z S7506 Ethernet Switch
z S7506R Ethernet Switch
Note:
z When two Salience III or Salience III Edge engines are used in an S7506R XGbus
chassis as the main and standby SRPUs, the first two SFP ports on both the active
and standby SRPUs can work in a redundancy mode so that the services will not
interrupted (the first two SFP ports are also active) during an active-standby
switchover.

I. Introduction to power distribution box
The power distribution box is mainly used for filtering, current make/break, an d cu rrent
shunt. The AC power distribution box and DC power distribution box have the same
dimensions.
1) S7503
zThe DC power distribution box of the S7503 supports two power inputs, each of
which has a separate power switch. One input can only support the normal
operation of the corresponding DC power module. Only when two inputs are
connected, the two DC power modules can work in 1+1 redundancy mode. Whe n
two DC power modules are equipped but only one input is connected, the SRPU
displays alarm information for the unsupplied module.
zThe AC power distribution box of the S7503 supports two power inputs, each of
which has a separate power switch. One input can only maintain the normal
operation of the corresponding AC power module. Only when the two inputs are
connected, the two AC power modules can work in 1+1 redundancy mode. When
two AC power modules are equipped but only one input is connected, the SRPU
displays alarm information for the unsupplied module.
2) S7506 and S7506R
zThe DC power distribution box of the S7506 and S7506R supports two power
inputs, each of which has a separate power switch. Either of the two inputs can
maintain the normal operation of the three DC power modules at the same time.
When one input is connected, the three DC power modules can work in 2+1
redundancy mode. When two inputs are connected, the DC powe r inputs can work
in 1+1 redundancy mode.
zThe AC power distribution box of the S7506 and S7506R supports two power
inputs, each of which has a separate power switch. Either of the two inputs can
maintain the normal operation of the three AC power modules at the same time.
When only one input is connected, the three AC power modules can work in 2+1
redundancy mode. When two inputs are connected, th e AC power inputs can work
in 1+1 redundancy mode.

1.5.5 PoE Power Supply
The S7500 series support power-over-Ethernet (PoE). Equipped with power sourcing
equipment (PSE) and PoE-capable boards, the S7500 series can provide –48 VDC
power to remote powered devices (PDs) such as IP Phones, WLAN APs, and network
cameras through twisted pairs. Choose a chassis that supports PoE if PoE is needed.
z The S7500 series support a maximum PoE input power of 2400 W.
z If the PSE2500-A3 is used, one rectifier can supply 1250 W, two 2400 W, and three
in 2+1 redundancy mode also 2400 W at an input voltage of 100 to 140 VAC. One
rectifier can supply 2500 W at a voltage of 200 to 240 VAC and two power modul es
are required for redundancy backup.
zThe S7500 series provide power through Ethernet electrical ports on the
PoE-capable cards, with a maximum PoE distance of 100 m (328 ft.).
1.5.6 Fan Tray
The fan tray is located on the right side of the S7500 series. The fan tray is directly
connected to the backplane through a connector. All fan fault signals flow to the
backplane and then the backplane sends them to the SRPU for processing. The fan
tray is hot swappable.
Fan trays of the S7506R, S7503, and S7506 are slightly different. Fan trays of the
S7506R and S7503 are fixed by screws, while the fan tray of the S7506 is fixed by two
locks.
