Safety recommendations
To avoid possible bodily injury and equipment damage, read all safety recommendations carefully
before installation. Note that the recommendations do not cover every possible hazardous condition.
General safety recommendations
• Keep the chassis clean and dust-free.
• Do not place the switch on a moist area, and avoid liquid flowing into the switch.
• Make sure the ground is dry and flat and anti-slip measures are in place.
• Keep the chassis and installation tools away from walk areas.
• Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry (for example, necklace) or any other things that could get
caught in the chassis when you install and maintain the switch.
Electricity safety
• Clear the work area of possible electricity hazards, such as ungrounded power extension cables,
missing safety grounds, and wet floors.
• Locate the emergency power-off switch in the room before installation so you can quickly shut power
off when an electrical accident occurs.
Page 8

• Unplug all external cables, including power cords, before moving the chassis.
• Do not work alone when the switch has power.
• Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit. Always check.
Handling safety
CAUTION:
Do not hold the handle of the fan tray, power supply, or back cover of the chassis, or the air vents of
chassis. Any attempt to move the switch with these parts mi
g
ht cause equipment damage and even bodil
y
injury.
When you move the switch, follow these guidelines:
• Remove all external cables, including the power cords, before moving the chassis.
• Moving the chassis requires a minimum of two people, and you can use a mechanical lift as
needed.
• Lift and put down the chassis slowly and never move suddenly.
• Hold the handles on the chassis.
ESD prevention
To prevent the electric component from being damaged by ESD, follow these guidelines:
• Ground the switch correctly. For how to ground your switch, see "Installing the switch."
• A
lways wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it is reliably grounded when installing FRUs. For
how to use an ESD wrist strap, see "Installing FRUs."
• Hold a PCB by its edges. Do not touch any electronic components or printed circuit.
• Put cards away in ESD bags for future use.
Laser safety
W
ARNING!
Do not stare into any fiber port when the switch has power. The laser li
g
ht emitted from the optical fiber
might hurt your eyes.
Examining the installation site
The HP 10500 switches must be used indoors. To ensure correct operation and long service life of your
switch, the installation site must meet the requirements in this section.
Weight support
Make sure the floor can support the total weight of the rack, chassis, cards, power supplies, and all other
components. Additionally, the floor loading plan must also consider system expansion, such as adding
more cards. For more information, see "Appendix A Chassis views and technical specifications."
Page 9

Temperature
CAUTION:
To avoid short circuits, if condensation appears on the chassis when you move it to a high-temperature
environment, dry the chassis before powering it on.
To ensure correct operation of the switch, make sure the room temperature meets the requirements
in Table 2.
Table 2 Temperature r
equirements
Tem
p
erature Range
Operating temperature 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F)
Storage temperature –40°C to +70°C (–40°F to +158°F)
Humidity
Maintain appropriate humidity in your equipment room, as described in Table 3.
• Lasting high relative humidity tends to cause poor insulation, electricity creepage, mechanical
property change of materials, and corrosion of metal parts.
• Lasting low relative humidity is likely to result in loose screws due to washer contraction, and even
ESD, which causes the circuits to fail.

EMI
All electromagnetic interference (EMI) sources, from outside or inside of the switch and application
system, adversely affect the switch in the following ways:
• A conduction pattern of capacitance coupling.
• Inductance coupling.
• Electromagnetic wave radiation.
• Common impedance (including the grounding system) coupling.
To prevent EMI, use the following guidelines:
• 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 to make sure the EMI levels do not exceed the compliant range.
• Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary. For example, use shielded interface cables.
• To prevent signal ports from getting damaged by over-voltage or over-current caused by lightning
strikes, only route interface cables indoors.
Grounding
Using a good grounding system to protect your switch against lightning shocks, interferences, and ESD
is essential to the operating reliability of your switch.
Make sure the resistance between the chassis and the ground is less than 1 ohm.
Power
Perform the following tasks to meet the power requirements:
1. Calculate the system power consumption.
The system power consumption varies by card type and density. For more information about
system power consumption calculation, see "Appendix A Chassis views and tec
hnical
specifications."
2. Select power supplies and identity the number of power supplies.
The total maximum output power of all power supplies must be higher than the system power
consumption. For more information about available power supplies, see "Appendix B FRUs and
compatibility matrixes."
Page 11

3. Verify that the power system at the installation site meets the requirements of the power supplies,
including the input method and rated input voltage.
Cooling
Plan the installation site for adequate ventilation.
• A minimum of 10 cm (3.94 in) of clearance is reserved at the inlet and outlet air vents.
• The rack for the switch has a good cooling system.
• The installation site has a good cooling system.
• Verify that the airflow design of the chassis meets the airflow design of the installation site.

Attaching slide rails and cage nuts to the rack
Installing slide rails
If the rack has slide rails, skip this section.
Before you attach slide rails to the rack, verify that the following conditions are met:
• The slide rails can support the weight of the switch. For the weights of the 10500 switches, see
"Appendix A Chassis views and technical specifications."
HP recommen
ds that you order the HP X421 A-Series Chassis Universal 4-Post Rack Mounting Kit
(JC665A). For more information about the kit, see "Appendix B FRUs and compatibility matrixes."
• If y
ou install the switch in an enclosed cabinet, make sure the distance between the front rack posts
and the front door is a minimum of 100 mm (3.94 in) for installing cable management brackets,
and the distance between the front rack posts and the rear door is a minimum of 660 mm (25.98
in) for the chassis with cards installed.
Page 15

Installing mounting brackets and cable management brackets
Before installing the switch to the rack, install the cable management brackets and mounting brackets
shipped with the switch. Cable management brackets are used for securing and organizing signal
cables and power cords on the switch, and mounting brackets are used for attaching the chassis to the
rack.
Installing cable management brackets
You must install the signal cable management brackets separately for the 10508-V switch. All other
10500 switches come with the signal cable management brackets secured to the mounting brackets. In
this step, you only need to install the power cord management brackets for them.
• The 10508-V has two cable management brackets: the signal cable management brackets are
installed at the upper part of the switch, and the power cord management brackets are installed at
the lower part of the switch. They are installed in the same way. For more information, see Figure 9.
• T
he power cord management bracket installation procedure for the 10508 and 10512 is the same
as 10508-V.
Page 20

Installing MPUs/LPUs/switching fabric modules
IMPORTANT:
• Before installing a card to the chassis, make sure the connectors on the card are not broken or blocked
to avoid damaging the backplane.
• To ensure good ventilation, install a blank filler panel over an empty MPU, LPU, or switching fabric
module slot. MPU slots use the same type of blank filler panels as LPU slots.
The installation procedures for MPUs, LPUs, and switching fabric modules are the same. Unless otherwise
stated, MPUs, LPUs, and switching fabric modules are collectively referred to as "cards" in this document.
These cards are either horizontally oriented or vertically oriented. When installing a card in a horizontal
slot, make sure its PCB faces up. When installing a card in a vertical slot, make sure its PCB faces left.
This section uses a horizontally oriented card as an example.
To install a horizontally oriented card:
1. Wear an ESD wrist strap, and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded. For
more information, see "Attaching an ESD wrist strap."
2. As sh

Planning IRF fabric setup
This section describes issues that an IRF fabric setup plan must cover.
Planning IRF fabric size and the installation site
Plan IRF fabric size and the installation site, using the following procedure:
1. Use HP 10500 Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide as a reference to identify the number of
member switches that your system software version supports for an IRF fabric.
All member switches must use the same system software version.
2. Choose switch models for your network.
The member switches in a 10500 IRF fabric must be the same model.
3. Select LPUs that can provide 10-GE/40-GE/100-GE ports.
The switches require 10-GE/40-GE/100-GE ports for IRF connection. For more information about
LPUs, see "Appendix B FRUs and compatibility matrixes."
4. Selec
t XFP/SFP+/QSFP+/CFP transceiver modules and fibers for long-haul IRF connection, or
select SFP+/QSFP+/QSFP+ to SFP+ cables for short-haul IRF connection. Select 10GBASE-T
twisted-pair cables for short-haul IRF connection.
For more information about transceiver modules and cables, see "Appendix B FRUs and
compatibility matrixes."
5. Plan the installation site.
Page 39
33
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 CLI of the master. 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 10500 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
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 a minimum of 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.
A two-member IRF fabric must use the daisy chain topology.
If the system software version you are using supports more than two IRF members, you can create an IRF
fabric that comprises more than two members in daisy chain topology or more reliable ring topology. In
ring topology, the failure of one IRF link does not cause the IRF fabric to split as in daisy chain topology.
Instead, the IRF fabric changes to a daisy chain topology without interrupting network services.
Identifying physical IRF ports on the member switches
Identify the physical IRF ports on the member switches according to your topology and connection
scheme.
On the switch, only 10-GE/40-GE/100-GE ports can be used for IRF connection.
The switch supports multi-card link aggregation for IRF ports. You can bind up to eight physical ports to
one IRF port.

Configuring basic IRF settings
After you install the IRF member switches, power on the switches, and log in to each IRF member switch
(see "Connecting your switch to the network") t
o configure their member IDs, member priorities, and IRF
port bindings.
Follow these guidelines when you configure the switches:
• First configure the member IDs, member priorities, and IRF port bindings for the IRF member
switches, save the configuration, connect the member switches, and change the operating mode of
the switches to IRF mode.
• 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.
• Execute the display irf configuration command to verify the basic IRF settings.
For more information about configuring basic IRF settings, see HP 10500 Switch Series IRF Configuration
Guide.
Connecting the physical IRF ports
Follow these guidelines when selecting transceiver modules and cables:
• Use XFP transceiver modules and fibers to connect XFP ports.
• Use SFP+ transceiver modules and fibers for long-distance connection, or use SFP+ cables to
connect SFP+ ports for short-distance connection.
• Use CFP transceiver modules and fibers to connect CFP ports.
• When c on necti ng XFP/SFP+/CFP ports, connect the transmit port of an XFP/SFP + /C FP transceiver
module at one end to the receive port of an XFP/SFP+/CFP transceiver module at the other end.
• Use QSFP+ transceiver modules and fibers for long-distance connection, or use QSFP+ cables to
connect QSFP+ ports for short-distance connection.
• Use twisted-pair cables to connect 10GBASE-T ports.
• The transceiver modules at the two ends of an IRF link must be the same type.
For more information about installing transceiver modules, see "Installing FRUs." F
or more information
about connecting fibers, see "Connecting your switch to the network."

Figure 29 Connecting two IRF member switches
Verifying the IRF fabric configuration
After you finish configuring basic IRF settings and connecting IRF ports, verify the basic functionality of
the IRF fabric, as follows:
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 or SNMP to access the IRF fabric from the network management station. (See HP 10500
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.

Display topology information about the IRF fabric. display irf topology
NOTE:
To avoid IP address collision and network problems, configure a minimum of one MAD mechanism to
detect the presence of multiple identical IRF fabrics and handle collisions. For more information about
MAD, see
HP 10500 Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide.
Page 42

Connecting your switch to the network
This chapter describes how to connect your switch to a network.
The first time you access the switch you must log in through the console port. On the switch, you can
configure Telnet or SSH for remote access through Ethernet ports. You manage console login users at
AUX user interfaces, and manage Telnet and SSH users at VTY user interfaces. For more information
about login methods and user interfaces, see HP 10500 Switch Series Fundamentals Configuration
Guide.
NOTE:
• The switch with one MPU supports one AUX user and the switch with two MPUs supports up to two
concurrent AUX users. The total number of AUX users that an IRF fabric supports equals the number of
MPUs in the IRF fabric.
• All switches support up to 16 concurrent VTY users.
Accessing the switch for the first time
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.
Setting up the configuration environment
CAUTION:
The serial ports on PCs do not support hot swapping. To connect a PC to an operating switch, first connec
t
the PC end. To disconnect a PC from an operating switch, first disconnect the switch end.
To connect a terminal (for example, a PC) to the switch:
1. Connect the DB-9 female connector of the console cable to the serial port of the PC.
2. Connect the RJ-45 connector of the console cable to the console port of the switch.
Identify the mark on the console port and make sure you are connecting to the correct port.
Page 43

Connecting the switch to the network
Before you connect the switch to the network, verify that all its basic settings are correct.
Connecting your switch to the network through twisted pair
cables
You can connect the 10/100Base-TX ports, 1000Base-T ports, and 10GBASE-T ports on your switch to
the network. These ports use RJ-45 connectors and support MDI/MDI-X auto-sensing. Use category-6A
or category-7 twisted pair cables to connect 10GBASE-T ports and category-5 or above to connect other
ports. For more information about twisted pair cables, see "Appendix D Cables."
To connect a 10/100Base-TX port, a 1000Base-T port, or a 10GBASE-T port to a peer device:
1. Connect one end of a twisted pair cable to the port.
2. Connect the other end of the twisted pair cable to the RJ-45 Ethernet port of the peer device.
3. Verify the port LEDs for incorrect connection.
For more information about the LED status, see "Appendix C LEDs."
Connecting your switch to the network through optical fibers
W
ARNING!
To avoid injury to your eyes, do not stare at the optical fiber interfaces and optical fiber connectors when
connecting optical fibers.
You can install a transceiver module (see "Installing FRUs") in a fiber port and use optical fibers to
connect the port to the network. For more information about optical fibers, see "Appendix D Cables."
To connect a fiber port to a peer device through optical fibers:
1. Install a transceiver module into the port.
2. Remove the dust cover of the optical fiber connector, and clean the end of the optical fiber.
3. Remove the dust plug of the transceiver module, connect one end of the optical fiber to the
transceiver module, and connect the other end to the transceiver module in the peer device.
{ For how to connect an LC connector, see Figure 36.
{ For how to connect an MPO connector, see Figure 37.
4. Examine the port LEDs for incorrect connection.
For more information about the LED status, see "Appendix C LEDs."
Page 50

Troubleshooting
This chapter describes how to troubleshoot your switch.
TIP:
• Clean your switch periodically because the noncompliant operating environments of switches might
cause switch failures.
• Verify the installation environments against the requirements in "Preparing for installation." M
ake sure
the switch operates in a compliant environment.
• Periodically perform the power-on test for the spare switches.
Troubleshooting methods
If your switch fails, you can use the following methods to troubleshoot the switch:
• At the CLI, you can use the related commands to display the hardware information and locate the
hardware failures.
• The MPU provides the LEDs for the fans and cards. You can locate the failures according to the LED
status on the MPU. For more information about the LED status on the MPU, see "Appendix C LEDs."
• The MPU or LPU of the switch provides the port status LEDs, with which you can detect port failures.
For more information about the LED status on the LPU, see "Appendix C LEDs."
I
f you cannot locate failures by following the guidelines in this chapter, contact HP Support. For more
information, see "Support and other resources."
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 garbled text
or does not display anything.
No terminal display
If the configuration terminal displays nothing when the switch is powered on, verify the following items:
• The power supply system is operating correctly.
• The MPU is operating correctly.
• The console cable has been connected to the console port of the MPU.
If no problem is found, examine the console cable for the following problems:
• The console cable is connected to an incorrect serial interface (the serial interface in use is not the
one set on the terminal). To solve this problem, select the correct serial interface.
• The console cable is broken. To solve this problem, replace the console cable.
Page 52
46
Garbled terminal display
If terminal display is garbled, verify that the following settings are configured for the terminal, for
example, HyperTerminal:
• Baud rate—9,600.
• Data bits—8.
• Parity—none.
• Stop bits—1.
• Flow control—none.
When you modify the settings for the console port of the switch, configure the same settings for the
console terminal.
Troubleshooting the switch during the operation
Use display commands to examine the configuration for configuration errors or to examine statistics for
exceptions.
If any configuration errors are found, re-configure the switch or restore the factory-default settings.
Power supply system failure
If the switch is operating correctly, the LEDs on the power supply (AC LED and DC LED) are green. For
more information, see "Appendix C LEDs."
After a power supply is powered off, the power LEDs stay ON for several seconds.
If the power LEDs are off or not green, examine the power supply for an exception, as follows:
1. If the DC LED is orange, the power supply has transitioned to the over-temperature protection state.
Examine the cooling system for inadequate ventilation, and make sure every empty slot has been
covered by a blank filler panel.
2. If the DC LED is red, the power supply has transitioned to a self-protection state because of a power
supply problem. Examine the power supply for output short circuit, output over-current, output
over-voltage, input under-voltage, or remote disconnection.
The DC LED also turns red if the input of the power supply is disconnected while any other power
supply is operating correctly. In this case, connect the input or keep the input disconnected as
needed.
3. Examine the power cord connections. If a power cord is loose, re-connect the power cord. If a
power cord is broken, replace it.
4. Examine the power supply installation. If the power supply is not fully seated, re-install the power
supply to make sure it has a close contact with the backplane of the switch.
5. Examine the power supply system. Make sure the power supply system operates correctly and
provides an acceptable voltage.
6. If the switch has empty power supply slots, remove the power supply, install the power supply in
an empty power supply slot after all LEDs on the power supply are off, and verify that the power
supply can operate correctly.
Page 53
47
7. Install a new power supply of the same model in the same slot, and connect it to the same power
input end. If the new power supply can operate correctly, the old power supply has failed. You
must replace the old power supply.
8. If the problem persists, contact HP Support.
Fan failure
Both the MPU and the fan tray provide the fan tray LEDs, including an OK LED and a FAIL LED. When the
fan tray operates correctly, the OK LED is on, and the FAIL LED is off.
If the OK LED is off or the FAIL LED is on, the fan tray has failed. To troubleshoot the fan tray:
1. If both LEDs are off, verify that the power supplies are operating correctly. For more information,
see "Power supply system failure."
2. Verify that the air intakes a
nd exhaust vents of the chassis are not blocked. If they are blocked,
clean them to keep good ventilation.
3. Verify that the fan tray is fully seated. You can remove the fan tray, install it again, and then fasten
the screws.
4. Verify that the empty LPU slots and power supply slots are installed with blank filler panels. If not,
install blank filler panels for them to guarantee good ventilation.
5. If the problem persists, contact HP Support.
MPU failure
The status LEDs on the MPU show the status of a card in the corresponding slot. According to the slot
number of an MPU, you can verify the corresponding LEDs for the MPU.
When the MPU operates correctly, the RUN LED flashes and the ALM LED is off. When the RUN LED is
off, the MPU fails. To troubleshoot the MPU:
1. Verify that the power supply operates correctly. For more information, see "Power supply system
failur
e."
2. Verify that the MPU is fully seated. You can remove the MPU, install it again, and make sure the
MPU is fully seated.
3. Press the RESET button of the MPU to reset the MPU. After the MPU is reset, verify whether the
corresponding RUN LED is on.
4. If the switch has an empty MPU slot, install the MPU in the slot to test the MPU.
5. If the problem persists, contact HP Support.
LPU and switching fabric module failure
Use the card status LEDs on the MPU to identify the failure of the LPU or switching fabric module in a
particular slot.
If a card is operating correctly, the RUN LED flashes and the ALM LED is off. When the RUN LED is off,
the card fails. To troubleshoot the card:
1. Verify that the MPU is operating correctly. For more information, see "MPU failure."
Page 54
48
2. Verify that the software version is compatible with the card. If not, upgrade the software to a
compatible version.
3. Calculate the total power consumption, and make sure your power supplies can provide enough
power. For more information, see "Appendix B FRUs and compatibility matrixes."
4. Verify that the card is fully seated. You can remove the card, install it again, and press the ejector
levers inward until the ejector levers touch the panel tightly.
5. If the switch has empty card slots, install the card in an empty card slot, and verify that the card can
operate correctly.
6. If the problem persists, contact HP Support.
Interface failure
The interfaces provided by MPUs and LPUs all have corresponding LEDs. When an interface connected
to the network operates correctly, the corresponding LED is on.
NOTE:
A
management Ethernet interface or XFP interface each has two LEDs, LINK and ACT. The LED in this
section for such an interface refers to the LINK LED. Each interface of any other type has only one LED.
If the LED of an interface connected to the network is off, the interface or the connecting cable might fail.
To troubleshoot the interface:
1. Make sure the MPU or LPU where the interface resides operates correctly. For more information,
see "MPU failure" or "LPU and switching fabric module failure."
2. Examine the cable connection of the interface. For how to correctly connect the cable to an
Ethernet interface with an RJ-45 connector or an optical interface, see "Connecting your switch to
the network."
3. Verify that the cable is in good condition. Use the cable to connect two interfaces of the same type
that operate correctly. If the LEDs of the two interfaces are on, the cable is normal. Otherwise, the
cable fails. Use a compliant cable to connect the interface. For more information about the
compliant cables, see "Appendix D Cables."
4. If the interface uses a transceiver module, make sure the interface type is compatible with the
transceiver and that the transceiver is compatible with the cable. For more information, see
"Appendix B FRUs and compatibility matrixes."
5. If the interface uses a transceiver module, make sure the current transceiver module operates
correctly by replacing a normal transceiver module.
6. If the interface is a combo interface (which contains a fiber and a copper port), make sure the port
used for connection is activated for the combo interface. Then, use the combo enable { copper |
fiber } command to activate the port, and verify the LED.
Page 55
49
NOTE:
• A combo interface is a logical interface that comprises one fiber port (Gigabit/100-Mbps SFP port) and
one copper port (10/100/1000Base-T GE port). The two ports share one interface view and cannot
operate simultaneously. When you use the combo enable { copper | fiber } command to enable one
port, the other port is disabled automatically.
• If a port is brought down by the shutdown command, use the undo shutdown command to brin
g
up the
interface.
• After an interface fails, if the switch has an idle interface of the same type, you can connect the cable to
the idle interface.
7. Verify that the speed and duplex settings of the interfaces of a link are the same. Make sure two
interfaces can operate together.
8. If the problem persists, contact HP Support.

When the fan tray fails, replace the fan tray to ensure correct operation of the switch.
The fan tray removal and installation procedures for all 10500 switches are the same, even though the
fan tray sl o t is ver tically oriented for the 10504, 10508, and 10512 switches and horizontally oriented for
the 10508-V switch. This section describes removing and installing a vertically oriented fan tray on a
10508 as an example.

Removing a fan tray
CAUTION:
To ensure good ventilation, install a new fan tray within 2 minutes after removing the old one.
To remove a fan tray:
1. Prepare an antistatic mat to place the fan tray to be removed.
2. Put on an ESD wrist strap and make sure the wrist strap makes good skin contact and is reliably
grounded. For more information, see "Installing FRUs."
3. Loosen the captive screws on the fan tray, as shown by callout 1 in Figure 42.
4. Hold the handle of the fan tray with one hand to gently
pull the fan tray part way out of the chassis.
After the fans stop rotating, support the bottom of the fan tray with the other hand, and take out the
fan tray from the chassis, as shown by callout 2 in Figure 42.
5. Put the rem
oved fan tray on the antistatic mat.

Module power consumption and system power
consumption
Card power consumption
The power consumption of the cards depends on the card model and state. Table 16 shows the power
consumption for different card models.
• The static power consumption of a card refers to the power consumed by the card when the card is
running but all ports on the card are down and when no transceiver module is available on the
optical interface of the card.
• The dynamic power consumption of a card refers to the power consumed by the card when all the
ports on the card are link up and send broadcasts.

Fan tray power consumption
The switch uses fans with the automatic speed adjustment function. The fan speed is automatically
adjusted based on the heat dissipation condition of the switch. The power consumed by a fan tray
depends on the fan speed. Table 17 sho
ws the power consumption of different fan trays.

Page 70

System power consumption
The system power consumption of the switch depends on the type and number of cards and the fan tray
power consumption.
• The minimum system power consumption is the total static power consumption of all cards plus the
minimum fan tray power consumption. For example, for a 10508 switch that has two LSU1SUPA0
MPUs, two LSU1TGX4EB0 LPUs, two LSU1FAB08A0 switching fabric modules, and one fan tray,
the minimum system power consumption of the switch is 2 × 38 + 2 × 53 + 2 × 68 + 11 = 329 W.
• The maximum system power consumption is the total dynamic power consumption of all cards plus
the maximum fan tray power consumption. For example, for a 10508 switch that has two
LSU1SUPA0 MPUs, two LSU1TGX4EB0 LPUs, two LSU1FAB08A0 switching fabric modules, and
one fan tray, the maximum system power consumption of the switch is 2 × 50 + 2 × 80 + 2 × 85
+234 = 664 W.
Heat dissipation
Heat dissipation is measured in BTU/h, and 1 W equals 3.4121BTU/h.
The heat dissipation of the switch depends on its power consumption. To calculate heat dissipation of the
switch, assume 90% power consumption is converted to heat, and the efficiency of the power supply is
90%. Heat dissipation/hour of the switch is 0.9 × (total power consumption of the cards plus power
consumption of the fan tray)/0.9 × 3.4121.
For the power consumption of cards and fan trays, see "Module power consumption and system power
co
nsumption."

Appendix B FRUs and compatibility matrixes
This appendix describes the FRUs available for the switch and their compatibility.
All the FRUs listed in this appendix are hot swappable.
MPUs
CAUTION:
Use the Comware V5 software (with the version number R1XXX) for the LSU1SUPA0. Use the Comware
V

MPU is the supervisor engine and core of the control management plane for the switch. The switch
supports the MPUs LSU1SUPA0 and LSU1SUPB0. They are applicable to all 10500 switch models.
MPUs are ordered separately. The switch requires one MPU to operate correctly. You can also install two
MPUs of the same model for redundancy.

Switching fabric modules
CAUTION:
• Do not install B-type switchin
g
fabric modules (LSU1FAB04B0, LSU1FAB08B0, and LSU1FAB12B0) and
D-type switching fabric modules (LSU1FAB04D0, LSU1FAB08D0, and LSU1FAB12D0) on the same
switch.
• A-type and B-type switching fabric modules for the 10504 and 10508 switches can be used in the same
chassis, but the performance of B-type modules will be reduced to match the performance of A-type's.
• The switching fabric modules provide a console port for HP Support to maintain the switches. Do not use
the console port if you have not been trained for that.
You can install up to four switching fabric modules in one switch chassis.

Power supplies
The switch supports the HP 10500 2500W AC Power Supply (JC610A) and HP 10500 2400W DC
Power Supply (JC747A). The HP 10500 2500W AC Power Supply is an AC-input, DC-output power
supply and provides a maximum DC output power of 2500 W. The HP 10500 2400W DC Power Supply
is a DC-input, DC-output power supply that provides a maximum DC output power of 2400 W.

Temperature requirements
• Operating temperature: –10°C to +50°C (14°F to 122°F)
• Storage temperature: –40°C to +85°C (–40°F to +185°F)
You can select a certain number of power supplies according to the actual power consumption
requirements of your switch. Make sure the total maximum output power of the ordered power supplies
is greater than the system power consumption. HP recommends that you reserve 20% of the maximum
output power.
IMPORTANT:
• Power supplies of different models cannot be installed on the same switch.
• When the temperature of a power supply exceeds the acceptable operating temperature, the power
supply is automatically powered off. When the temperature recovers to the acceptable temperature, the
power supply is automatically powered on.
Fan trays
Table 27 shows the fan trays that each 10500 switch chassis supports. Every 10500 switch comes with
one fan tray installed.

Mounting accessories
Before installing the switch to the rack, install slide rails to the rack. You can order an HP X421 A-Series
Chassis Universal 4-Post Rack Mounting Kit (JC665A), which is referred to as "the rack mounting kit" in
this document.
An HP X421 A-Series Chassis Universal 4-Post Rack Mounting Kit (JC665A) includes cage nuts, screws,
and a pair of slide rails. The length of the slide rails is in the range of 500 mm (19.69 in) to 800 mm
(31.50 in). A pair of slide rails can bear a maximum weight of 350 kg (771.60 lb). Before you use the
slide rails, make sure the following requirements are satisfied:
• The inside depth of the rack falls into the length range of the slide rail.
• The slide rails can support the total weight of the switch chassis and its accessories.
Transceiver modules
The switch supports transceiver modules. You can order transceiver modules according to the transceiver
modules supported by the LPU interfaces. For more information, see Table 22.
T
he switch supports the following transceiver modules:
• 10-Gigabit XFP modules in Table 28
• 1

To ensure correct commun ic ation, t he pins for sendi ng data on one p o rt should correspon d to the pins for
receiving data on the peer port. When both of the ports on the two devices are MDI or MDIX, a crossover
Ethernet cable is needed. A cross-over cable connects devices of the same type. When one port is MDI
and the other is MDIX, a straight-through Ethernet cable is needed. A straight-through cable connects
devices of different types.
If an RJ-45 Ethernet interface with MDI/MDIX autosensing enabled can automatically negotiate pin roles.
The 10500 RJ-45 Ethernet interfaces support MDI/MDIX. By default, MDI/MDIX autosensing is enabled
on a port.
Page 96

Making an Ethernet twisted pair cable
1. Cut the cable to a required length with the crimping pliers.
2. Strip off an appropriate length of the cable sheath. The length is typically that of the RJ-45
connector.
3. Untwist the pairs so that they can lay flat, and arrange the colored wires based on the wiring
specifications.
4. Cut the top of the wires even with one another. Insert the wires into the RJ-45 end and make sure
the wires extend to the front of the RJ-45 end and make good contact with the metal contacts in the
RJ-45 end and in the correct order.
5. Crimp the RJ-45 connector with the crimping pliers until you hear a click.
6. Repeat the above steps with the other end of the cable.
7. Use a cable tester to verify the correct connectivity of the cable.
Optical fiber
CAUTION:
Use the same types of transceiver modules, pigtail cords, patch cords, and fiber cables. If you use
single-mode optical fibers, the transceiver modules, pi
g
tail cords, patch cords, and fiber cables must be
single-mode.
Optical fibers are widely used in fiber-optic communications, which are advantageous for long-distance
communications.
Optical fibers can be classified into the following types:
• Single-mode fiber—It has a core size of 10 μm or smaller, and has a lower modal dispersion. It
carries only a single ray of light. It is mostly used for communication over longer distances.
• Multi-mode fiber—It has a core size of 50 μm or 62.5 μm or higher, and has a higher modal
dispersion than single-mode optical fiber. It is mostly used for communication over shorter
distances.
Table 57 Allowed maximum tensile force and crush load
Period of force Tensile load (N)
Crush load (N/mm)
Short period 150 500
Long term 80 100
Optical fiber cable
An optical fiber cable is a cable containing one or more optical fibers. The optical fiber elements are
typically individually coated with plastic layers and contained in a protective tube. Optical fiber cables
fall into single-mode and multi-mode.
Patch cord
A fiber that has connectors at both ends is called a patch cord. A patch cord connects one optical device
to another for signal routing. Patch cords fall into single-mode and multi-mode patch cords.
• Single-mode patch cord—The jacket is yellow. It permits transmission over longer distances.
Page 97
91
• Multi-mode patch cord—The jacket is orange. It permits transmission over shorter distances.
Patch cords are classified into SC, LC, FC, and so on based on interface type. The length of a patch cord
can be 0.5 m (1.64 ft), 1 m (3.28 ft), 2 m (6.56 ft), 3 m (9.84 ft), 5 m (16.40 ft), 10 m (32.81 ft), and so
on.
Pigtail cord
A pigtail cord is an optical fiber that has an optical connector on one end and a length of exposed fiber
on the other. The end of the pigtail is fusion spliced to a fiber, connecting the fiber cable and transceiver.
Pigtail cords fall into single-mode (yellow) and multi-mode (orange), and can also be classified into SC,
LC, FC, and so on based on interface type.
Fiber connector
Fiber connectors are indispensable passive components in an optical fiber communication system. They
allow the removable connection between optical channels, which makes the optical system debugging
and maintenance more convenient and the transit dispatching of the system more flexible.
Figure 49 SC connector
Figure 50 LC connector
Precautions
• Make sure the fiber connector and fiber type match the transceiver module type.
• The optical interfaces on some cards have shielded covers. Remove the shielded covers before
using the optical interfaces. Optical interfaces must be installed with shielded covers when they are
not in use. Keep them safely.
• Fiber connectors must be protected under safe and reliable outer packing, and be fitted with dust
caps. Fiber connectors must be installed with dust caps when they are not in use. Take care not to
scratch their end face. Replace the dust cap if it is loose or polluted.
• Before connecting a fiber, use dust free paper and absolute alcohol to clean the end face of the
fiber connector. You can brush the end face only in one direction. You also need to brush the end
face of the fiber port.
Page 98
92
• Never bend or curve a fiber when connecting it. After a fiber is installed well, the bend radius must
be not less than 40 mm (the minimum dynamic bend radius is 20 D, and the minimum static bend
radius is 10 D. D indicates the outer diameter of dust caps).
• If the fiber has to pass through a metallic board hole, the hole must have a sleek and fully filleted
surface (the filleting radius must be not less than 2 mm). When passing through a metallic board
hole or bending along the acute side of mechanical parts, the fiber must wear jackets or cushions.
• Insert and remove a plug with care. Never exert a fierce force to the fiber or plug; otherwise the
plug might be damaged or the fiber might be broken. Never pull, press or extrude the fiber fiercely.
For the allowed maximum tensile load and crush load, see Table 57.
SFP+ cable
You can use SFP+ cables to connect SFP+ ports. The SFP+ cables available for the switch are 10 G SFP+
Cu cables, as shown in Figure 51.

Appendix E Cabling recommendations
When the switch is mounted in a 19-inch standard rack, the interface cables are routed through the cable
management brackets, bound at cabling racks on chassis sides, and then routed up or down to pass
through the chassis top or the raised floor, depending on the available equipment room condition. The
power cords run along the two sides of the chassis and out of the chassis either from the chassis top or
the raised floor depending on the equipment room conditions (power distribution cabinet, lightning
protection box, connector strip, and so on) of the exchange office.
General cabling requirements
Minimum curvature radius of cables
• The curvature radius of an attached power cord, communication cable, or ribbon cable should be
a minimum of five times the cable's outer diameter. If the cable is frequently bent, plugged and
unplugged, the curvature radius should be a minimum of seven times the cable's outer diameter.
• The curvature radius of an ordinary attached coaxial cable should be a minimum of seven times of
the cable's outer diameter. If the coaxial cable is frequently bent, plugged and unplugged, the
curvature radius should be a minimum of 10 times the cable's outer diameter.
• The curvature radius of a high-speed cable (for example, SFP+ cable) should be a minimum of five
times of the cable's outer diameter. If the coaxial cable is frequently bent, plugged and unplugged,
the curvature radius should be a minimum of 10 times the cable's outer diameter.
Minimum curvature radius of fibers
• When the fiber is wrapped up around the cabling plate, the diameter of the cabling plate should
be a minimum of 25 times the fiber's diameter.
• When the fiber is being moved, the curvature radius of the fiber should be a minimum of 20 times
the fiber's diameter.
• When the fiber is attached, the curvature radius of the fiber should be a minimum of 10 times the
fiber's diameter.
NOTE:
The fiber's diameter refers to the outer diameter of the fiber jacket. Typically, the diameter of a single-core
fiber is 0.9 mm (0.04 in), 2.0 mm (0.08 in), or 3.0 mm (0.12 in).
Before binding the cables, fill in the labels for them correctly and stick them to the right position on the
cables.
Cable management requirements
When you route and bundle up cables, follow these guidelines:
• Bind and route cables neatly inside the rack, and make sure they are not kinked or bent.
