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. 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.

• 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, wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap to avoid damaging the units.

Examining the installation site

The 5120 EI and 5120 SI 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.

• 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.

• 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.”

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 4 Dust concentration limit in the equipment room

Substance Concentration limit (particles/m³)

EMI

Dust

NOTE:

Dust diameter ≥ 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 5.

Table 5 Harmful gas li

)

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 HP 5120 EI and 5120 SI switches are Class 1 laser devices.

WARNING!

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

• To install the device vertically, keep the front panel of the switch facing downwards and the two sides

with ventilation holes vertical to the ground.

• Make sure that the weight of external cables does not bring about a falloff, which may result in bodil

injuries or equipment damage.

• Keep magnetic cards away from magnets to avoid erasure of any information.

• Keep computers and monitors that are easily influenced by magnetic fields away from magnets.

Otherwise, faults may occur to these electronic devices.

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.

injuries or equipment damage may occur in

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

Grounding the switch with a grounding strip

If a grounding strip is available at the installation site, connect the grounding cable to the grounding strip.

NOTE:

WARNING!

Connect the

rounding cable to the grounding system in the equipment room. Do not connect it to a fire

main or lightning rod.

The 5120 EI series, 5120-24G-PoE+ SI, and 5120-24G-PPoE+ SI switches come with an OT terminal

for

connecting to a grounding strip. For other switch models, you must prepare OT terminals yourself.

To connect the grounding cable, for example, to a 5120-48G EI (2 slots) switch:

1. Identify the grounding point (with a grounding sign) on the rear panel of the switch chassis, and

remove the grounding screw from the grounding point.

2. Attach the grounding screw to the OT terminal of the grounding cable.

3. Use a screwdriver to fasten the grounding screw into the grounding screw hole.

Figure 57 Connect the grounding cable to the grounding hole of the switch chassis

(1) Grounding sign (2) Grounding hole (3) OT terminal (4) Grounding cable (5) Grounding screw

4. Remove the hex nut of a grounding post on the grounding strip.

5. Cut the grounding cable as appropriate for connecting to the grounding strip.

6. Make the connector for connecting to the grounding strip:

{ If an OT terminal is available, 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 OT terminal, secure the metal part of the cable to the OT 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 (see callout A in Figure 58).

{ If no OT terminal is available, peel the insulation sheath as appropriate by using a wire stripper,

and bend the bare metal part into a ring (see callout B in Figure 58)

. Attach the OT terminal or the ring to the grounding strip through the grounding post, and fasten it with the removed hex nut, see Figure 59.

Figure 58 Make a grounding cable connector

Figure 59 Connect the grounding cable to a grounding strip

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 50 × 50 × 5 mm (1.97 × 1.97 × 0.20 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.

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, but must make sure:

• 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.

Setting up an IRF fabric

You can use HP Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) technology to connect and virtualize 5120 EI switches or 5120 SI switches into a virtual switch called an “IRF fabric” or “IRF virtual device” for flattened network topology, and high availability, scalability, and manageability.

NOTE:

• IRF is not available on the 5120-24G EI or 5120-48G EI switch. The “5120

does not include those two switch models.

• An IRF fabric cannot have both 5120 EI and 5120 SI switches.

Planning IRF fabric setup

Planning IRF fabric size and the installation site

NOTE:

As your business grows, you can plu any topology change or replacement.

a switch into an IRF fabric to increase the switching capacity withou

Identifying the master switch and planning IRF member IDs

Determine which switch you want to use as the master for man aging al l member switches in the I RF 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 the IRF configuration guide for your switch.

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. An IRF port is a logical interface for the internal connection 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 physical ports 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.

You can bind several physical ports to an IRF port to create an aggregate IRF link for increased bandwidth and availability.

NOTE:

• Figure 77 an

topologies of a 5120-24G SI IRF fabric.

Ports on the expansion interface cards on the rear panel

Requirements

• You must order interface cards separately. For

long-distance connections, use XFP or SFP+ transceiver modules and fibers. For short-distance connections, use CX4 or SFP+ cables. For more information, see “Interface cards (only for the

120 EI switches)“ and “SFP/SFP+/XFP

ansceiver modules and SFP+/CX4 cables (only

for the 5120 EI switches).”

• Ports assigned to the same IRF port must be on the

same interface card.

• All 5120 EI switches in a ring topology and the

non-edge switches in a daisy chain topology must have at least one two-port interface card or two one-port interface cards.

HP recommends that you use Gigabit SFP ports and HP A3600 Switch SFP Stacking Kit cables for IRF connection.

For more information, see “SFP transceiver modules

nd SFP Stacking Kit (only for the 5120 SI switches).”

Planning the cabling scheme

Planning the cabling scheme for a 5120 EI IRF fabric

If 2-port interface cards are used and the IRF links are not aggregate, follow these guidelines on connecting two neighboring 5120 EI switches:

• You can connect the interface card in slot 1 (MOD 1) on a member switch to the MOD 1 or MOD

2 card on its neighboring switch.

• Connect the left port on one interface card to the right port on the other interface card, as shown in

Figure 81.

Figure 81 Use 2-port interface cards to set up singl

e-link IRF connection

If 2-port interface cards are used and IRF links are aggregate, follow these guidelines on connecting two neighboring switches:

• The ports on the interface card MOD 1 on one switch must connect to the ports on the interface card

MOD 2 on the other switch.

• A port on one interface card can connect to any port on the other interface card, as shown in Figure

or example, you can connect the left port on one interface card to the left or right port on the

82. F

other interface card.

Figure 82 Use 2-port interface cards to set up multi-link IRF connection

If 1-port interface cards are used, follow these guidelines on connecting neighboring switches:

• If both of the switches use 1-port interface cards, the port on MOD 1 on one switch must connect to

the port on MOD 2 on the other switch (see callout 1 in Figure 83).

• If one switch uses a 1-port interface card but the other switch uses a 2-port interface card:

{ If the 1-port interface card is in the MOD 1 slot, the port on the card must connect to the right

port on the 2-port interface card (see callout 2 in Figure 83.)

{ If the 1-port interface card is in the MOD 2 slot, the port on the card must connect to the left port

on the 2-port interface card.

Configuring basic IRF settings

After you install the IRF member switches, power on the switches, and log in to each IRF member switch (see the fundamentals configuration guide for your switch) to configure their member IDs, member priorities, and IRF port bindings.

Follow these guidelines when you configure the neighboring 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.

• Execute the irf-port-configuration active command to activate the IRF port configuration.

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

For more information about configuring basic IRF settings, see the IRF configuration guide for your switch.

Connecting the physical IRF ports

Connect the IRF member switches as planned.

NOTE:

Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap when you connect the physical IRF ports. For how to connect them,

see

Accessing the IRF fabric to verify the configuration

To verify the basic functionality of the IRF fabric after you finish 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 that 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 the fundamentals configuration guide for your switch.

4. Check 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 13.

an failure occurs.

Configuration terminal problems

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

No terminal display

If the configuration terminal displays nothing after the switch is powered on, verify the following items:

• The power supply is supplying power to the switch.

• The console cable is properly connected.

• The console cable has no problem and the terminal settings are correct.

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

• Emulation—VT100
