Preparing for installation

Safety recommendations

To avoid any equipment damage or bodily injury caused by improper use, read the following safety recommendations before installing an H3C S5830 switch. Note that the recommendations do not cover every possible hazardous condition.

• Before cleaning the switch, unplug the power cord of the power module of 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 ventilation vents of the switch free of

obstruction.

• Make sure the operating voltage is in the range labeled on the power module of the switch.

• To avoid electrical shocks, do not open the chassis when the switch is operating or when the switch

is just powered off.

• When replacing interface cards, hot-swappable power modules and fan trays, wear an

ESD-preventive wrist strap to avoid damaging the units.

Examining the installation site

The H3C S5830 Switch Series must be used indoors. You can mount the switch in a rack, but make sure:

• Adequate clearance is reserved at the air inlet and exhaust vents for ventilation.

• The rack has a good ventilation system.

• Identify the hot aisle and cold aisle at the installation site, and make sure 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 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

You must maintain a proper temperature and humidity in the equipment room. Long-term high humidity may lead to bad insulation, electricity leakage, mechanical property changes, and metal corrosion. However, if the relative humidity is too low, captive screws may become loose as the result of contraction of insulation washers and static electricity may be produced in a dry environment to jeopardize the

circuits on the device. A high temperature is the most undesirable condition, because it accelerates the aging of insulation materials and significantly lowers reliability and service life of the switch.

For the temperature and humidity requirements of different switch models, see Table 9 in Appendix A

Technical specifications.

Cleanness

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 1 Dust concentration limit in the equipment room

Substance Concentration limit (particles/m³)

EMI

Dust

NOTE:

The dust diameter is greater than or equal to 5 μm.

≤ 3 x 104 (no visible dust on the tabletop over three days)

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 2.

Table 2 Harmful gas limits in the equipment room

Gas Maximum concentration (mg/m

H2S 0.006

NH3 0.05

Cl2 0.01

0.2

)

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 over-voltage or

over-current caused by lightning strikes.

Laser safety

The H3C S5830 Switch Series is a line of class 1 laser devices.

WARNING!

Do not stare into any fiber port when the switch has power. The laser li may hurt your eyes.

Installation tools

• Flat-blade screwdriver P4-75mm

• Phillips screwdriver P1-100mm, P2-150mm, and P3-250mm

• ESD-preventive wrist strap

All these installation tools are user supplied.

The S5830-52SC switch provides one front mounting position (near the network ports) and one rear mounting position (near the power modules), and two grounding points (one primary grounding point with a grounding sign, and one auxiliary grounding point). You use the primary grounding point in most cases. If the primary grounding point fails or is not suitable for the installation site, use the auxiliary grounding point.

Figure 13 Identifying the mounting and grounding positions

(1) Rear mounting position (2) Primary grounding point (3) Auxiliary grounding point (4) Front mounting position

Attaching the mounting brackets and chassis rails to the switch chassis

1. Align the mounting brackets with the screw holes in the rear mounting position (see Figure 14) or

front mounting position (see Figure 15).

2. Use M4 screws (supplied with the switch) to fix the mounting brackets to the chassis.

3. If the mounting brackets are in the rear mounting position, align the chassis rails with the screw

holes at the front of the side panels (see Figure 14). If the mounting brackets are in the front

mounting position, align the chassis rails with the screw holes at the rear of the side panels (see

Figure 15).

4. Use M4 screws (supplied with the switch) to fix the chassis rails to the chassis.

Attach the mounting brackets and chassis rails to both sides of the chassis in the same way.

Connecting the grounding cable to the switch chassis

CAUTION:

The primary grounding point and auxiliary grounding point are located on the left side panel. If you use either of the grounding points, you must connect the grounding cable to the grounding point before you mount the switch in the rack.

To connect the grounding cable to a chassis grounding point, for example, the primary grounding point:

1. Select a grounding point.

2. Remove the grounding screws from the primary grounding point. (You can use the screws for

connecting to the primary grounding point or the auxiliary grounding point.)

3. Align the two-hole grounding lug at one end of the cable with the grounding holes of the

grounding point, insert the grounding screws into the holes, and tighten the screws with a screwdriver to fix the grounding lug to the chassis, as shown in Figure 14.

Grounding the switch

WARNING!

Correctly connecting the switch grounding cable is crucial to lightning protection and EMI protection.

NOTE:

The power and grounding terminals in this section are for illustration only.

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 through the PE wire of an AC power cord

Grounding the switch with a grounding strip

1. Attach the two-hole grounding lug at one end of the grounding cable to a grounding point on the

switch chassis (see "Connecting the grounding cable to the switch chassis").

2. Connect the OT terminal at the other end of the grounding cable to a grounding post on the

grounding strip, and fasten the grounding cable to the grounding post with a hex nut.

Figure 25 Connecting the grounding cable to a grounding strip

Grounding the switch through the PE wire of an AC power cord

If you ground an AC-powered switch through the protective earth (PE) wire of the power cord, verify that the following conditions are met:

• The power cord is a three-wire power cord that provides a PE terminal.

• The ground contact in the power outlet is well 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.

Figure 26 Grounding through the PE wire of an AC power cord

Installing/removing a fan tray

CAUTION:

The S5830 switches have only one fan tray slot. To ensure good ventilation, follow these guidelines:

• Do not operate the switch without a fan tray.

• If the fan tray has problems during operation, replace it within 8 minutes while the switch is operating

the LSVM152SCFAN and LSVM252SCFAN, and 6 minutes for the LSVM1106SFAN and LSVM2106SFAN. Otherwise, the switch generates alarms and the system LED flashes red, or the switch may even be damaged.

Selecting a fan tray

The S5830 switches provide two types of fan trays with different airflow directions: from power side to port side and from port side to power side. Before you install a fan tray, check the airflow direction labeled on the fan tray and make sure the airflow of the chassis is appropriate to the installation site.

When the switch is started up, the system records the airflow direction of the fan tray. After you replace the fan tray when the switch is operating, if the airflow direction of the new fan tray is not the same as the old one, the system displays the following trap and log information:

System fan airflow direction is not preferred on slot x, please check it.

If you confirm that the airflow direction of the new fan tray is correct, use the fan prefer-direction slot slot-number { power-to-port | port-to-power } command in system view to change the preferred airflow

direction.

For more information about the cooling system and fan tray specifications of the switch, see "Cooling

system" and "Hot swappable fan trays."

For more information about the fan prefer-direction slot command, see H3C S5830 Switch Series Fundamentals Command Reference.

Installing a fan tray

CAUTION:

To prevent damage to the fan tray or the connectors on the backplane, insert the fan tray gently. If you encounter a hard resistance while inserting the fan tray, pull out the fan tray and insert it again.

To install a fan tray:

1. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is well

grounded.

2. Loosen the captive screws on the filler panel to remove the filler panel.

3. Unpack the fan tray and verify that the fan tray model is correct.

4. Grasp the handle of the fan tray with one hand and support the fan tray bottom with the other, and

slide the fan tray along the guide rails into the slot until the fan tray seats in the slot and has a firm contact with the backplane (see callout 1 in Figure 27 or Figure 28).

5. Fasten the captive screw on the fan tray with a Philips screwdriver until the fan tray is securely fixed

into the chassis (see callout 2 in Figure 27 or Figure 28).

If the captive screw cannot be tightly attached, examine the installation of the fan tray.

Connection procedure

When you connect the console cable, follow these guidelines:

• Identify the mark on the console port to make sure you are connecting to the correct port.

• The serial port on a PC does not support hot swapping. When you connect a PC to a powered-on

switch, connect the DB-9 connector of the console cable to the PC before connecting the RJ-45 connector to the switch.

• When you disconnect a PC from a powered-on switch, Disconnect the DB-9 connector of the console

cable from the PC after disconnecting the RJ-45 connector from the switch.

Use a console cable to connect a terminal device to the switch, as follows:

1. Plug the DB-9 female connector to the serial port of the console terminal or PC.

2. Connect the RJ-45 connector to the console port of the switch.

Setting terminal parameters

To configure and manage the switch, you must run a terminal emulator program on the console terminal, for example, a PC. This section uses Windows XP HyperTerminal as an example.

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.

6. On the Settings tab, set the emulation to VT100 and click OK.

Figure 45 Setting terminal emulation in Switch Properties dialog box

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 the BootWare menu to perform tasks such as software upgrade and file management. The BootWare menu output and options differ with software versions. For more information about BootWare menu options, see the software-matching release notes for the device.

After the startup completes, you can access the CLI to configure the switch.

For more information about the configuration commands and CLI, see H3C S5830 Switch Series Configuration Guides and H3C S5830 Switch Series Command References.

Setting up an IRF fabric

You can use H3C Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) technology to connect and virtualize S5830 switches into a virtual switch called an "IRF fabric" or "IRF virtual device" for flattened network topology, and high availability, scalability, and manageability.

Step Description

Plan the installation site and IRF fabric setup parameters. Complete the following tasks:

• Planning IRF fabric size and the installation site

1. Plan IRF fabric setup.

• 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

2. Install IRF member

switches.

3. Connect ground wires

and power cords.

See "Grounding the switch" and "Connecting the power cord."

4. Power on the switches.

5. Configure basic IRF

settings.

6. Connect the physical

IRF ports.

N/A

For more information about IRF, see H3C S5830 Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide.

Connect the physical IRF ports on the switches. Use SFP+ transceiver modules and fibers to connect 10-Gigabit SFP+ ports over a long distance, or use SFP+ cables to connect 10-Gigabit SFP+ ports over a short distance.

All switches except the master switch automatically reboot, and the IRF fabric is established.

Planning IRF fabric setup

Planning IRF fabric size and the installation site

Choose S5830 switch models and 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 to implement the top-of-rack (ToR) access

solution for a data center.

NOTE:

To increase the switching capacity without any topology change or replacement, you can plug an S5830 switch into an IRF fabric.

Identifying the master switch and planning IRF member IDs

Determine which switch you want to use as t he master for ma na ging all member switches in t he 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

S5830 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. An IRF port is activated when you bind a physical port to it.

When connecting 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 its neighbor switch.

The S5830 switches can provide 10-GE IRF connections through SFP+ ports, and you can bind several SFP+ ports to an IRF port for increased bandwidth and availability.

NOTE:

Figure 47 and Figure 48 show the topologies for an IRF fabric made up of three S5830-52SC switches for

IRF connections. The IRF port connections in the

two figures are for illustration only, and more connection

methods are available.

Figure 47 IRF fabric in daisy chain topology

Identifying physical IRF ports on the member switches

Identify the physical IRF ports on the member switches according to your topology and connection scheme.

Table 6 shows the physical ports that can be used for IRF connection.

NOTE:

You must purchase the expansion interface card separately.

Planning the cabling scheme

Use SFP+ cables or SFP+ transceivers and fibers to connect the IRF member switches. If the IRF member switches are far away from one another, choose the SFP+ transceiver modules with optical fibers. If the IRF member switches are all in one equipment room, choose SFP+ cables.

Table 7 lists the SFP+ transceivers and SFP+ cables available for IRF connections.

The following subsections describe several H3C recommended IRF connection schemes. All these schemes use a ring topology.

IMPORTANT:

In these schemes, all physical IRF ports are located on the same side. If physical IRF ports are on differen sides, you must measure the distance between them to select an appropriate cable.

Connecting the IRF member switches in one rack

Use short-haul and long-haul SFP+ cables to connect the IRF member switches (four switches in this example) in a rack as shown in Figure 49. The switches in the ring topology (see Figure 51) are in the same order as connected in the rack.

Figure 49 Connecting the switches in one rack (Method 1)

Figure 50 Connecting the switches in one rack (Method 2)

Figure 51 IRF fabric topology

Connecting the IRF member switches in a ToR solution

You can install IRF member switches in different racks side by side to deploy a top of rack (ToR) solution.

Figure 52 shows an example for connecting four top of rack IRF member switches by using SFP+

transceiver modules and optical fibers. The topology is the same as Figure 51.

Figure 52 Connecting top of rack switches

Configuring basic IRF settings

After you install the IRF member switches, power on the switches, and log in to each IRF member switch (see H3C S5830 Switch Series Fundamentals Configuration Guide) to configure their member IDs, member priorities, and IRF port bindings.

Follow these guidelines when you configure the switches:

• Assign the master switch higher member priority than any other switch.

• Bind physical ports to IRF port 1 on one switch and to IRF port 2 on the other switch. You perform IRF

port binding before or after connecting IRF physical ports depending on the software release.

• To bind the ports on an interface card to an IRF port, you must install the interface card first. For how

to install an interface card, see H3C LSPM2SP2P Interface Card User Manual.

• Execute the display irf configuration command to verify the basic IRF settings.

For more information about configuring basic IRF settings, see H3C S5830 Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide.

Connecting the physical IRF ports

CAUTION:

Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap when you connect SFP+ cables or SFP+ transceiver modules and fibers. For how to connect them, see

Guide

H3C Pluggable SFP/SFP+/XFP Transceiver Modules Installation

Connect IRF member switches with SFP+ cables or SFP+ transceivers and fibers as planned.

Accessing the IRF fabric to verify the configuration

To verify the basic functionality of the IRF fabric when you are finished configuring basic IRF settings and connecting IRF ports:

1. Log in to the IRF fabric through the console port of any member switch.

2. Create a Layer 3 interface, assign it an IP address, and make sure the IRF fabric and the remote

network management station can reach each other.

3. Use Telnet, web or SNMP to access the IRF fabric from the network management station. (See H3C

S5830 Switch Series Fundamentals Configuration Guide.)

4. Verify that you can manage all member switches as if they were one node.

5. Display the running status of the IRF fabric by using the commands in Table 8.

To avoid IP address collision and network problems, configure at least one multi-active detection (MAD) mechanism to detect the presence of multiple identical IRF fabrics and handle collisions. For more information about MAD detection, see

H3C S5830 Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide

Maintenance and troubleshooting

Power module failure

When a power module is operating properly, its status LED is green. If not, follow these steps to troubleshoot the power module:

1. Check for an over-temperature condition. Over-temperature can cause a power module to enter

the protection state. Make sure the switch is well ventilated.

2. Check for loose power cord connection, and reconnect the power cord. If the power cord is

broken, replace it.

3. Verify that the power module is fully seated in the slot.

4. Verify that the power source is normally supplying power at the correct voltage.

5. If the other power module slot is empty, plug the power module into the empty slot to check for an

operating anomaly.

6. Plug a new power module of the same model into the same slot, and connect it to the same power

input end. If the new power module can work properly, the old power module has failed. Contact the H3C local agent to replace the old power module.

Fan failure

When a fan tray is operating properly, its status LED is green. If the LED is red or off, follow these steps to troubleshoot the fan tray:

1. Verify that the switch and the power modules are operating properly.

2. Verify that the air intakes and exhaust vents of the chassis are not blocked.

If the problem persists, contact the H3C local agent or technical support engineer for help.

Configuration terminal problems

If the configuration environment setup is correct, the configuration terminal displays boot information when the switch is powered on. If the setup is incorrect, the configuration terminal displays nothing or garbled text.

No terminal display

Cooling system

The cooling system of the S5830 switch comprises the air vents in the chassis, fan tray, and built-in fans of power modules. To guarantee the performance of this cooling system, you must consider the ventilation design for the installation site when you choose a fan tray assembly and plan the installation site for the S5830 switch.

Cooling system of the S5830-52SC

• When an LSVM152SCFAN fan tray is used, ambient air flows in through the air vents in the fan tray

panel and the power module panels, circulates through the chassis and the power modules, and exhausts at the port side, as shown in Figure 53.

• When an LSVM252SCFAN fan tray is used, ambient air flows in through the air vents in the

port-side panel and the power module panels, circulates through the chassis and the power modules, and exhausts through the air vents in the fan tray panel, as shown in Figure 54.
