Safety recommendations

To avoid any equipment damage or bodily injury, 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 from 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 good 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.

Page 7

• 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, including power supplies and fan trays, wear an ESD wrist strap to avoid

damaging the units.

Examining the installation site

The HP 5920 and 5900 switches must be used indoors.

Mount your switch in a rack and 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 correctly grounded.

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 of different switch models, see "Appendix A Chassis

iews and technical specifications."

Cleanness

Dust buildup on the chassis might 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 2 Dust concentration limit in the equipment room

Substance Concentration limit (particles/m³)

Dust

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

NOTE:

Dust diameter ≥ 5 μm

Page 8

The equipment room must also meet limits on salts, acids, and sulfides to eliminate corrosion and premature aging of components, as shown in Table 3.

Table 3 Harmful gas li

mits in the equipment room

Gas Maximum concentration (mg/m

)

0.2

H2S 0.006

NH3 0.05

Cl2 0.01

EMI

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) might be coupled from the source to the switch through the following coupling mechanisms:

• Capacitive coupling

• Inductive coupling

• Radiative coupling

• Common impedance coupling

• Conductive 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 to make sure the EMI levels do not exceed the compliant range.

• Use electromagnetic shielding, for example, shielded interface cables, when necessary.

• To prevent signal ports from getting damaged by over-voltage or over-current caused by lightning

strikes, only route interface cables indoors.

Laser safety

ARNING!

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

ht emitted from the optical fiber

might hurt your eyes.

The HP 5920 and 5900 switches are Class 1 laser devices.

Installation tools

• Phillips screwdriver

• ESD wrist strap

All these installation tools are user supplied.

Page 9

Installing the switch

CAUTION:

Keep the tamper-proof seal on a mountin

screw on the chassis cover intact, and if you want to open the

chassis, contact HP for permission. Otherwise, HP shall not be liable for any consequence caused thereby.

Attaching the mounting brackets and chassis rails to the chassis

1. Align the mounting brackets with the screw holes in the rear mounting position or front mounting

position. See Figure 8 and Figure 9.

2. Use M4

screws (supplied with the switch) to attach the mounting brackets to the chassis.

3. Align the chassis rails with the rail mounting holes in the chassis:

{ 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 8.

{ 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 9.

4. Use M4

screws (supplied with the switch) to attach the chassis rails to the chassis.

NOTE:

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

Connecting the grounding cable to the chassis

CAUTION:

The primary grounding point and auxiliary grounding point 1 are located on the left side panel. If you use one of these grounding points, you must connect the grounding cable to the grounding point before you mount the switch in the rack.

NOTE:

• HP recommends that you use the primary grounding point or auxiliary grounding point 1 because the

grounding cable and grounding screw that come with the switch are suitable only for these two grounding points.

• To use auxiliary grounding point 2 on the HP 5900AF-48XG-4QSFP+, 5900AF-48XG-4QSFP+ TAA,

5900CP-48XG-4QSFP+, 5900CP-48XG-4QSFP+8Gb FC B-F, 5900AF-48XGT-4QSFP+, and 5900AF-48G-4XG-2QSFP+ switches, you must prepare a grounding cable yourself.

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

4 5

Page 14

1. Choose a grounding point.

2. Unpack the grounding cable and grounding screws.

You can use the cable and screws shipped with the switch only for connecting to the primary grounding point or auxiliary grounding point 1.

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 attach the grounding lug to the chassis, as shown in Figure 8.

1. Identify the rack attachment position for the slide rails.

2. Install cage nuts (user-supplied) in the mounting holes in the rack posts.

3. Align the screw holes in one slide rail with the cage nuts in the rack post on one side, and use

screws (user supplied) to attach the slide rail to the rack, as shown in Figure 10.

4. Repeat the pr

eceding step to attach the other slide rail to the rack post on the other side.

Keep the two slide rails at the same height so the slide rails can attach into the chassis rails.

Figure 10 Installing the slide rails

Mounting the switch in the rack

This task requires two people. To mount the switch in the rack:

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

2. Verify that the mounting brackets and chassis rails have been securely attached to the switch

chassis.

3. Verify that the slide rails have been correctly attached to the rear rack posts.

4. Install cage nuts (user-supplied) to the front rack posts and make sure they are at the same level as

the slide rails.

5. Supporting the bottom of the switch, align the chassis rails with the slide rails on the rack posts, as

Grounding the switch

ARNING!

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

Page 17

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 a switch by using a grounding strip at the installation site or the AC power cord connected to the switch.

NOTE:

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

Grounding the switch with a grounding strip

ARNING!

Connect the

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

main or lightning rod.

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

To connect the grounding cable:

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 chassis."

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

3. Attach the ring terminal at the other end of the grounding cable to the grounding strip through the

grounding post, and fasten the ring terminal with the removed hex nut.

Page 18

NOTE:

• HP recommends that you use the primary grounding point or auxiliary grounding point 1, because the

grounding cable and grounding screw provided with the switch are applicable only to these two grounding points.

• To use auxiliary grounding point 2 on the HP 5900AF-48XG-4QSFP+, 5900AF-48XG-4QSFP+ TAA,

5900CP-48XG-4QSFP+, 5900CP-48XG-4QSFP+8Gb FC B-F, 5900AF-48XGT-4QSFP+, and 5900AF-48G-4XG-2QSFP+ switches, you must prepare a grounding cable yourself. The connection method is the same as connecting to the other two grounding points.

Grounding the switch by using the AC power cord

If the installation site has no grounding strips, you can ground an AC-powered switch through the protective earth (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.

NOTE:

If the ground contact in the power outlet is not connected to the

round, report the problem and reconstruc

the grounding system.

Installing/removing a power supply

ARNING!

In power redundancy mode, you can replace a power supply without powering off the switch but must strictly follow the installation and procedures in Figure 17 and Figure 18 to avoid a

ny bodily injury or

damage to the switch.

The switches do not support intermixing of AC and DC power supplies.

The HP 5920 and 5900 switches come with both power supply slots empty and the power filler modules as accessories.

You can install one or two power supplies for these switches as needed. For more information about the power supplies available for the switches, see "Hot swappable power supplies."

ocedure

Figure 18 Removal procedure

NOTE:

The HP A58x0AF 650W AC power supply and the HP A58x0AF 650W DC power supply are referred to as the 650W AC power supply and the 650W DC power supply throughout this installation guide.

Installing a power supply

CAUTION:

• Follow the forward inertia of the power supply when inserting it into the chassis, and make sure the

power supply has firm contact with the connectors on the backplane.

• To prevent damage to the connectors inside the switch chassis, insert the power supply gently. If you

encounter a hard resistance while inserting the power supply, pull out the power supply and insert it again.

• If only one power supply is installed, install a power filler module in the empty power supply slot for

good ventilation of the switch.

To install a 650W AC power supply or 650W DC power supply into the switch:

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

2. Unpack the power supply and verify that the power supply model is correct.

3. Correctly orient the power supply with the power supply slot (as shown in Figure 19), grasp the

handle of the power su

pply with one hand and support its bottom with the other, and slide the

power supply slowly along the guide rails into the slot.

The slot is foolproof. If you cannot insert the power supply into the slot, re-orient the power supply rather than use excessive force to push it in.

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 27 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 HP 5920 & 5900 Switch Series Configuration Guide and HP 5920 & 5900 Switch Series Command References.

Setting up an IRF fabric

You can use HP IRF technology to connect and virtualize HP 5920 and 5900 switches into a large virtual switch called an "IRF fabric" for flattened network topology, and high availability, scalability, and manageability.

To set up IRF links between HP 5920 and 5900 switches, use SFP+ ports, 1/10-GE Ethernet ports, or QSFP+ ports.

1. Plan IRF fabric setup.

Plan the installation site and IRF fabric setup parameters:

• Planning IRF fabric size and the installation site

• 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

5. Configure basic IRF

settings.

See HP 5920 & 5900 Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide.

6. Connect the physical

IRF ports.

Connect the physical IRF ports on switches. Use SFP+ or QSFP+ transceiver modules and fibers for long-distance connection. Use SFP+ or QSFP+ cables for short-distance connection.

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

Planning IRF fabric setup

This section describes issues that an IRF fabric setup plan must cover.

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.

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:

s your business grows, you can plug an HP 5920 or 5900 switch into an IRF fabric to increase the

switching capacity without any topology change or replacement.

Identifying the master switch and planning IRF member IDs

Determine which switch you want to use as the master for managi ng 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 command line interface of the master switch.

Page 33

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

5920 & 5900 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. To use an IRF port, you must bind at least 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.

The HP 5900AF-48XG-4QSFP+, 5900AF-48XG-4QSFP+ TAA, 5900CP-48XG-4QSFP+, 5900CP-48XG-4QSFP+8Gb FC B-F, and 5900AF-48G-4XG-2QSFP+ switches can provide 10-GE and 40-GE IRF connections through SFP+ ports and QSFP+ ports, respectively. You can bind several SFP+ or QSFP+ ports to an IRF port for increased bandwidth and availability.

The HP 5900AF-48XGT-4QSFP+ switch can provide 10-GE and 40-GE IRF connections through 1/10-GE Ethernet ports or QSFP+ ports. You can bind several 1/10-GE Ethernet ports or QSFP+ ports to an IRF port for increased bandwidth and availability.

The HP 5920AF-24XG, and 5920AF-24XG TAA switches can provide 10-GE IRF connections through SFP+ ports. You can bind several SFP+ ports to an IRF port for increased bandwidth and availability.

NOTE:

• Figure 33 an

d Figure 34 show the topologies of an IRF fabric made up of three HP

5900AF-48XG-4QSFP+ switches that use SFP+ ports for IRF connections.

• The IRF port connections in the two fi

ures are for illustration only, and more connection methods are

available.

Figure 33 IRF fabric in daisy chain topology

Page 34

Figure 34 IRF fabric in ring topology

Identifying physical IRF ports on the member switches

Identify the SFP+ or QSFP+ ports to be used for IRF connections on the member switches according to your topology and connection scheme.

All the SFP+ and QSFP+ ports on the HP 5900AF-48XG-4QSFP+, 5900AF-48XG-4QSFP+ TAA, 5900CP-48XG-4QSFP+, 5900CP-48XG-4QSFP+8Gb FC B-F, and 5900AF-48G-4XG-2QSFP+ switches, all the 1/10-GE Ethernet ports and QSFP+ ports on the HP 5900AF-48XGT-4QSFP+ switch, and all the SFP+ ports on the HP 5920AF-24XG and 5920AF-24XG TAA switches can be used for IRF connections.

Follow these guidelines when you identify 1/10-GE Ethernet ports and SFP+ ports to be used for IRF connections:

• On the HP 5920AF-24XG, 5920AF-24XG TAA, 5900CP-48XG-4QSFP+,

5900CP-48XG-4QSFP+8Gb FC B-F, 5900AF-48XG-4QSFP+, and 5900AF-48XG-4QSFP+ TAA switches, the SFP+ ports are grouped by port number in ascending order, starting from one. Every four SFP+ ports form one group.

• On the HP 5900AF-48G-4XG-2QSFP+ switch, SFP+ ports numbered 49, 50, 51, and 52 form one

group.

• On the HP 5900AF-48XGT-4QSFP+ switch, the 1/10-GE Ethernet ports are grouped by port

number in ascending order, starting from one. Every four 1/10-GE Ethernet ports form one group.

• All 1/10-GE Ethernet ports and SFP+ ports in the same group must be used for the same purpose

(physical IRF ports or service ports, but not both).

A common practice is to use one 1/10-GE Ethernet port or SFP+ port group for IRF connections, and bind every two 1/10-GE Ethernet port or SFP+ ports in the group to an IRF port for increased bandwidth and availability.

Planning the cabling scheme

For the HP 5920AF-24XG, 5920AF-24XG TAA, 5900AF-48XG-4QSFP+, 5900AF-48XG-4QSFP+ TAA, 5900CP-48XG-4QSFP+, 5900CP-48XG-4QSFP+8Gb FC B-F, and 5900AF-48G-4XG-2QSFP+ switches, use SFP+/QSFP+ cables or SFP+/QSFP+ transceiver modules and fibers to connect the IRF member

switches. For the HP 5900AF-48XGT-4QSFP+ switches, use twisted pair cables, QSFP+ cables, or QSFP+ transceiver modules and fibers to connect the IRF member switches. If the IRF member switches are far away from one another, choose the SFP+/QSFP+ transceiver modules with optical fibers. If the IRF member switches are all in one equipment room, choose twisted pair/SFP+/QSFP+ cables. For more information about available SFP+/QSFP+ cables and transceiver modules, see "SFP+ port" an

"QSFP+ port."

he following subsections describe several HP recommended IRF connection schemes, and all these

schemes use a ring topology.

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 35. T

he switches in the ring topology (as shown in Figure 36) are

in the same order as connected in the rack.

Figure 35 Connecting the switches in one rack

Figure 36 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.

Page 36

Figure 37 shows an example for connecting four top of rack IRF member switches by using SFP+/QSFP+

cables, and SFP+/QSFP+ transceiver modules, and optical fibers. The topology is the same as Figure

36.

Figure 37 ToR cabling

Configuring basic IRF settings

After you install the IRF member switches, power on the switches, and log in to each IRF member switch to configure their member IDs, member priorities, and IRF port bindings. For more information, see HP 5920 & 5900 Switch Series Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

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.

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

For more information about configuring basic IRF settings, see HP 5920 & 5900 Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide.

Connecting the physical IRF ports

Use SFP+/QSFP+ cables or SFP+/QSFP+ transceiver modules and fibers to connect the IRF member switches as planned.

NOTE:

ear an ESD wrist strap when you connect SFP+ cables or SFP+ transceiver modules and fibers. For ho

to connect them, see

SFP/SFP+/XFP Transceiver Modules Installation Guide and QSFP+ Transceiver

Modules/Cables Installation Guide

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 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

5920 & 5900 Switch Series Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

Page 37

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 5.

You can use the LEDs on the power supply to identify a power supply failure. For more information about the LEDs on a power supply, see HP A58x0AF 650W AC (JC680A) & 650W DC (JC681A) Power Supplies User Guide.

The LEDs on the power supply are steady green (active) or blinking green (standby) while the power supply system is correctly working. If the LEDs behave in any other way, verify the following items:

• The switch power cord is correctly connected.

• The power source 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 the HP technical support for help.

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

Fan failure

CAUTION:

Every HP 5920 and 5900 switch requires two same direction air flow fan trays to function correctly.

• Do not operate the system with one failed fan tray for more than 24 hours.

• Do not remove the failed fan tray until you are ready for replacing it.

• Do not operate the system without any fan tray for more than 2 minutes.

• Do not operate the system outside of the temperature range 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F) degrees.

Failure to comply with these operating requirements might void the warranty.

When a fan tray has problems, the system status LED is steady red and the system outputs alarm messages.

To replace a failed fan tray, see "Installing/removing a fan tray."

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 displays nothing or garbled text.

No terminal display

Page 39

If the configuration terminal displays nothing when 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

• Do not bundle cables in their first 20 m (65.62 ft).

• Separate power cables and twisted pair cables at and around the distribution frame.

• For ports adjacent to one another on the device, the peer ports on the distribution frame is

preferably not adjacent, for example:

{ If the device connects to one distribution frame, connect port 1 on the device to port 1 on the

distribution frame, port 2 on the device to port 3 on the distribution frame, and port 3 on the device to port 5 on the distribution frame.

{ If the device connects to two distribution frames, connect port 1 on the device to port 1 on

distribution frame 1, port 2 on the device to port 1 on distribution frame 2, and port 3 on the device to port 2 on distribution frame 1.

Appendix D Cooling system

The cooling system of the HP 5920 and 5900 switches comprises the ventilation holes in the chassis, fan trays, and built-in fans of hot swappable power supplies. To guarantee that this cooling system can effectively work, you must consider the site ventilation design when you plan the installation site for the switches.

HP 5920 cooling system

The fan trays in the HP 5920AF-24XG and 5920AF-24XG TAA switches must be the same type: LSVM1FANSC or LSVM1FANSCB.

• When LSVM1FANSC fan trays are used, cool air flows in through the air vents in the fan tray panel

and the power supply panels, circulates through the chassis and the power supplies, and exhausts at the network port side, as shown in Figure 55.

• W

hen LSVM1FANSCB fan trays are used, cool air flows in through the air vents in the network port-side panel and the power supply panels, circulates through the chassis and the power supplies, and exhausts through the air vents in the fan tray panels, as shown in Figure 56.
