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 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 5500 EI and 5500 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 "Environmental specifications."

Page 7

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

articles/m³)

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.

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 5500 EI and 5500 SI switches are Class 1 laser devices.

ARNING!

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

• Avoid placing heavy objects on the switch.

Grounding the switch

Page 18

ARNING!

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

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 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.

ARNING!

Connect the main or lightning rod.

CAUTION:

For the 5500-24G-SFP EI (2 slots) and 5500-24G-SFP EI TAA (2 slots) switches, follow the direction shown in Figure 11 to

connect the grounding cable to avoid affecting the installation and removal of the

power supply.

To connect the grounding cable, for example, to an HP 5500-48G 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 ring terminal of the grounding cable.

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

Accessing the switch for the first time

Setting up the configuration environment

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.

Figure 24 Connecting the console port to a terminal

Connecting the console cable

Console cable

A console cable is an 8-core shielded cable, with a crimped RJ-45 connector at one end for connecting to the console port of the switch, and a DB-9 female connector at the other end for connecting to the serial port on the console terminal.

Figure 25 Console cable

Connection procedure

To connect a terminal, for example, a PC, to the switch:

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

Page 30

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

NOTE:

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

• The serial ports on PCs do not support hot swapping. If the switch has been powered on, connect the

console cable to the PC before connecting to the switch, and when you disconnect the cable, first disconnect from the switch.

Setting terminal parameters

To configure and manage the switch, you must run a terminal emulator program on the console terminal.

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. Figure 26 Connection description

Powering on the switch

Before powering on the switch, verify that the following conditions are met:

• The power cord is correctly connected.

• The input power voltage meets the requirement of the switch.

• The console cable is correctly connected.

• The configuration terminal (a PC, for example) has started, and its serial port settings are consistent

with the console port settings on the switch.

Power on the switch. During the startup process, you can access Boot ROM menus to perform tasks such as software upgrade and file management. The Boot ROM interface and menu options differ with software versions. For more information about Boot ROM 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 the configuration guides and command references for the switch.

Setting up an IRF fabric

You can use HP Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) technology to connect and virtualize 5500 EI switches or 5500 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:

n IRF fabric cannot have both 5500 EI and 5500 SI switches.

Planning IRF fabric setup

Planning IRF fabric size and the installation site

Choose 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.

NOTE:

s your business grows, you can plug a switch into an IRF fabric to increase the switching capacity withou

any topology change or replacement.

Identifying the master switch and planning IRF member IDs

Determin e which swi tch you wa nt to use as the mas ter for man aging a ll memb er swi tch es in th e 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

5500 EI & 5500 SI Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide

Page 36

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 32 an

Identifying physical IRF ports on the member switches

Only the 10-GE ports on the IRF-capable interface cards listed in "Interface cards" can provide IRF connections for the 5500 EI and 5500 SI switches. To use the IRF feature, you must order the cards separately.

IMPORTANT:

ll the switches in a ring topology and the non-edge switches in a daisy chain topology must have at leas

one two-port interface card or two one-port interface cards.

Planning the cabling scheme

When you plan the cabling scheme, follow these guidelines:

• Ports assigned to the same IRF port must be on the same interface card.

• For long-distance connections, use XFP/SFP+ transceiver modules and fibers. For short-distance

connections, use CX4/SFP+ cables or twisted-pair cables. For more information, see "Interface

rds" and "SFP/SFP+/XFP transceiver modules and SFP+/CX4 cables."

• If 2-port interface cards are used and the IRF links are not aggregate:

{ 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 34.

Figure 34 Use 2-port interface cards to set up singl

• If 2-port interface cards are used and IRF links are aggregate:

in Figure 35. F

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

port on the other interface card.

Page 38

Figure 35 Use 2-port interface cards to set up multi-link IRF connection

• If both of the neighboring 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 36).

• 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 36.)

{ 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.

Figure 36 Cable connections for an IRF fabric with 1-port interface cards

Configuring basic IRF settings

After you install the IRF member switches, power on the switches, and log in to each IRF member switch (see HP 5500 EI & 5500 SI 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.

• 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.

Page 39

For more information about configuring basic IRF settings, see HP 5500 EI & 5500 SI Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide.

Connecting the physical IRF ports

Connect the IRF member switches as planned.

NOTE:

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

see

Pluggable SFP/SFP+/XFP Transceiver Modules Installation Guide

Accessing the IRF fabric to verify the configuration

When you are finished configuring basic IRF settings and connecting IRF ports, follow these steps to verify the basic functionality of the IRF fabric:

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 HP 5500 EI & 5500 SI Switch Series Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

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

Maintenance and troubleshooting

Power supply failure

Built-in power supply failure

Except the 5500 -24G-SFP EI (2 slots) and 5500 -24G-SFP EI TAA (2 sl ot s) switches, all 5500 EI and 5500 SI switches use built-in power supplies and support three input modes: AC input, RPS DC input, and concurrent AC and RPS DC inputs.

You can look at the system status LED and the RPS status LED on the front panel of the switch to identify a power failure. For more information, see "LEDs."

AC input

If the system status LED is off, an AC input failure has occurred. Verify the following items:

• The AC power cord is securely connected to the switch, and the AC-input power receptacle on the

switch and the connected AC power outlet are in good condition.

• The external AC power system is correctly working.

• The operating temperature of the switch is in the normal range, and the power module has good

ventilation. Over-temperature can cause the power module to stop workin g and enter the protection state.

RPS DC input

If the system status LED or RPS status LED is off, an RPS input failure has occurred. Verify the following items:

• The switch is securely connected to the RPS.

• The RPS is correctly working.

• The operating temperature of the switch is in the normal range, and the power supply has good

ventilation. Over-temperature can cause the power supply to stop working and enter the protection state).

Concurrent RPS and AC inputs

1. If the system status LED is off, the AC power supply and the RPS both have an input failure.

Verify the following items:

{ The AC power cord is securely connected to the switch, and the AC-input power receptacle on

the switch and the connected AC power outlet are in good condition.

{ The external AC power system is correctly working.

{ The switch is securely connected to the RPS.

{ The RPS is correctly working.

{ The operating temperature of the switch is in the normal range, and the power supply has good

ventilation. Over-temperature can cause the power supply to stop working and enter the protection state.

Page 41

2. If the system status LED is on but the RPS status LED is steady yellow, an AC input failure has

occurred.

Verify the following items:

{ TThe AC power cord is securely connected to the switch, and the AC-input power receptacle on

the switch and the connected AC power outlet are in good condition.

{ The external AC power system is correctly working.

3. If the system status LED is on but the RPS status LED is off, an RPS input failure has occurred.

Verify the following items:

{ The switch is securely connected to the RPS.

{ The RPS is correctly working.

NOTE:

If the problem persists, contact the HP technical support for help.

Hot swappable power supply failure

This section applies to the 5500-24G-SFP EI (2 slots) and 5500-24G-SFP EI TAA (2 slots) switches.

You can look at the PWR1 or PWR2 LED (see Table 13) slots) or 5500-24G-SFP EI TAA (2 slots) switch and the LEDs on the power supply to identify a power supply failure.

If the power supply system is correctly working, the power supply LEDs are steady green. If the LEDs behave in any other way (see Table 13)

• The power cord is correctly connected.

• The power supply meets the requirement.

• The operating temperature of the switch is in the normal range and the power supply has good

ventilation.

NOTE:

If the problem persists, contact your local sales agent or service engineer.

To replace a hot swappable power supply, see "Installing/removing a power supply."

Fan failure

You can look at the system status LED and the seven-segment LED of the switch to identify a fan failure. If both LEDs are behaving as described in Table 6,

Table 6 LED behaviors that identify a fan failure

on the front panel of an HP 5500-24G-SFP EI (2

, verify the following items:

a fan failure occurs.

State

The LED flashes F for fan failure.

Page 42

The 5500 EI and 5500 SI switches use built-in fans. If a fan failure occurs, contact the HP technical support for help and do not attempt to fix the problem yourself.

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 correctly 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
