Safety recommendations
To avoid any equipment damage or bodily injury caused by incorrect use, read the following safety
recommendations before installation. Note that the recommendations do not cover every possible
hazardous condition.
• Before cleaning the switch, remove 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.
• Connect the yellow-green protection grounding cable before power-on.
• 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, including power supplies, fan trays, and interface modules, wear an
ESD wrist strap to avoid damaging the units.

Examining the installation site
The switch must be used indoors.
You can mount your switch in a rack. To rack-mount your switch, make sure the following
requirements are met:
• Adequate clearance is reserved at the air inlet and outlet 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 reliably grounded.
To ensure correct operation and long service life of your switch, install it in an environment that meets
the requirements described in the following subsections.

Page 7
Temperature/humidity
Maintain appropriate temperature and humidity in the equipment room.
• Lasting high relative humidity can cause poor insulation, electricity leakage, mechanical
property change of materials, and metal corrosion.
• Lasting low relative humidity can cause washer contraction and ESD and cause problems
including loose 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
views a
nd technical specifications."
Cleanliness
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)
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 limits on salts, acids, and sulfides to eliminate corrosion and
premature aging of components, as shown in Table 3.

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.
3
Page 8
• 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.
Laser safety
WARNING!
Do not stare into any fiber port when the switch has power. The laser light emitted from the optical
fiber might hurt your eyes.
The switch is a Class 1 laser device.
Installation tools
No installation tools are provided with the switch. Prepare the following tools yourself:
• Phillips screwdriver.
• ESD wrist strap.
• Marker.

Connecting the grounding cable to the chassis
CAUTION:
Select grounding points as required. 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.
As a best practice, connect the grounding cable to the primary grounding point or auxiliary grounding
point 1. 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, prepare a grounding cable yourself.
This section uses the primary grounding point on the HPE 5930-32 QSFP+/HPE 5930-32 QSFP+
TAA switch as an example.
To connect the grounding cable to a grounding point:
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.

Attaching the slide rails to the rack
The procedures are the same for attaching 1U and 2U slide rails to the rack. This section uses the 1U
slide rails as an example.
To attach the slide rails to the rack:
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 17.
4. Rep
eat the preceding steps 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.

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 reliably 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. One person performs the following operations:
a. Supporting the bottom of the switch, aligns the chassis rails with the slide rails on the rack
posts.
b. Pushes the switch slowly to slide the chassis rails along the slide rails until the mounting
brackets are flush with the rack posts.
6. Another person uses screws (user-supplied) to attach the mounting brackets to the rack.
To secure the switch in the rack, make sure the front ends of the slide rails reach out of the
chassis rails.
The rack-mounting procedures are the same for the HPE 5930-32 QSFP+/HPE 5930-32 QSFP+
TAA/HPE 5930-2Slot+2QSFP+/HPE 5930-2Slot+2QSFP+ TAA switches. The following figures use

Grounding the switch
WARNING!
Correctly connecting the switch grounding cable is crucial to lightning protection and EMI protection.
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.
Figure 21 are for illustration only.

Page 23
Grounding the switch with a grounding strip
WARNING!
Connect the grounding 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. For more information, 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 post on the
grounding strip, and secure the ring terminal to the grounding post with the hex nut.
Figure 22 Connecting the grounding cable to a grounding strip
(1) Hex nut (2) Ring terminal
(3) Grounding post (4) Grounding strip
As a best practice, connect the grounding cable to the primary grounding point or auxiliary grounding
point 1 on the switch. The grounding cable and grounding screw provided with the switch are
applicable only to these two grounding points.
To use auxiliary grounding point 2, 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.
19
Page 24
• 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 ground, report the problem and
reconstruct the grounding system.

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
34
Page 39
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 HPE FlexFabric 5930 Switch
Series Configuration Guide and HPE FlexFabric 5930 Switch Series Command References.

Setting up an IRF fabric
You can use HPE IRF technology to connect and virtualize HPE FlexFabric 5930 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 two switches, use the 10-GE or 40-GE ports.

SFP+/QSFP+ network cables for short-distance connection.
All switches except the master switch automatically reboot, and the IRF fabric
is established.
nd "Connecting the power cord."
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.
As your business grows, you can plug HPE FlexFabric 5930 switches into the 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 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 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 maste
election, see HPE FlexFabric 5930 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.
37
Page 42
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 IRF port connections in the two figures are for illustration only, and more connection methods
are available.

You can provide the following IRF physical connections between HPE FlexFabric 5930 switches:
• 10-GE IRF physical connection by connecting 1/10-GE Ethernet ports or SFP+ ports.
• 40-GE IRF physical connection by connecting QSFP+ ports.
• IRF physical connection by using a 40G QSFP+ to SFP+ network cable to connect a QSFP+
port and four SFP+ ports.
You can bind several ports to an IRF port for increased bandwidth and availability.
38
Page 43
Identifying physical IRF ports on the member switches
Identify the 1/10-GE Ethernet ports, SFP+ ports, and QSFP+ ports to be used for IRF connections on
the member switches according to your topology and connection scheme.
All the 1/10-GE Ethernet ports, SFP+ ports, and QSFP+ ports on the HPE FlexFabric 5930 switch
can be used for IRF connections.
Planning the cabling scheme
You can use twisted pair cables, SFP+/QSFP+ network cables, or SFP+/QSFP+ transceiver
modules and optical fibers to connect the switches for IRF connections. If the IRF member switches
are far away from one another, choose the SFP+/QSFP+ transceiver modules and optical fibers. If
the IRF member switches are all in one equipment room, choose twisted pair cables or
SFP+/QSFP+ cables. For more information about available transceiver modules and cables, see
"Appendix C Ports and LEDs."

network cables and QSFP+ transceiver modules and optical fibers. The switches in the ring topology
(see Figure 48) are in the same order a

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

Figure 49 shows an example for connecting four top of rack IRF member switches by using QSFP+
network cables and QSFP+ transceiver modules and optical fibers. The topology is the same
as Figure 48.

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 (see HPE FlexFabric 5930 Switch Series Fundamentals Configuration Guide) to configure
their member IDs, member priorities, and IRF port bindings.
Follow these guidelines when you configure the switches:
• Assign the master switch higher member priority than any other switch.
• Bind physical ports to IRF port 1 on one switch and to IRF port 2 on the other switch. You
perform IRF port binding before or after connecting IRF physical ports depending on the
software release.
• Execute the display irf configuration command to verify the basic IRF settings.
For more information about configuring basic IRF settings, see HPE FlexFabric 5930 Switch Series
IRF Configuration Guide.
Connecting the physical IRF ports
CAUTION:
Wear an ESD wrist strap when you connect cables or transceiver modules and optical fibers. For
more information, see the installation guide for the transceiver modules.
Use cables or transceiver modules and optical fibers to connect the IRF member switches as
planned.
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 HPE FlexFabric 5930 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.

Power Supply (JH336A) User Guide.
The LEDs on the power supply are steady green (active) or flashing green (standby) while the power
supply system is correctly operating. 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.
If the problem persists, contact Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support.
To replace a power supply, see "Installing/removing a power supply."
Fan tray failure
When an LSWM1HFANSC or LSWM1HFANSCB fan tray has problems, the system status LED on
the switch is steady red and the system outputs alarm messages.
When an LSWM1BFANSC or LSWM1BFANSCB fan tray has problems, the Alarm LED on the fan
tray is steady yellow and the system outputs alarm messages.
To replace a failed fan tray, see "Installing/removing a fan tray."
Follow the
• Do not power on the switch when the switch has no fan trays installed.
• You must install two fan trays of the same model for the switch.
• When a fan tray fails during the switch operation and the ambient temperature is not higher than
• Make sure all slots have a module or filler panel installed when the switch is operating.
• When two fan trays fail during the switch operation:
