lPower supply slot
The CE7800&6800&5800 series switches have two power supply slots, in which power
modules can be installed to provide power to the chassis. A chassis can have one or two
power modules. Double power modules can provide a higher reliability.
The CE7800&6800&5800 series switches support double power modules (1+1 backup).
– When both power modules are working properly, they equally provide power for a
chassis.
– When one power module fails, the other one provides all power required for a chassis.
All power modules are hot swappable.
lFan slot
The CE7800&6800&5800 series switches have two fan slots, in which fan modules can be
installed to cool the chassis, ensuring efficient heat dissipation and system stability. A
chassis must have two working fan modules to ensure normal operating.
Issue 16 (2015-08-26)Huawei Proprietary and Confidential
CloudEngine 7800&6800&5800 Series Switches
Hardware Description2 Chassis
All fan modules are hot swappable.
Airflow
The cooling systems of the CE7800&6800&5800 series switches have front-to-back or backto-front airflow depending on the airflow direction of the power modules and fan modules used.
The airflow direction of the power modules and fan modules required on the
CE7800&6800&5800 series switches depends on how the switches are installed in cabinets.
Typically, cabinets in a data center have cold air flowing in from the front and hot air exhausted
from the back. If CE7800&6800&5800 series switches are installed with the power supply side
facing the front, you are advised to use fan modules and power modules with front-to-back
airflow in the switches.
NOTE
l Front-to-back airflow: The power modules and fan modules using front-to-back airflow are marked
or . Air flows into the chassis from the power supply side and flows out from
the port side, as shown in Figure 2-21 (CE5800 as an example).
l Back-to-front airflow: The power modules and fan modules using back-to-front airflow are marked
or . Air flows into the chassis from the port side and flows out from the power
supply side, as shown in Figure 2-22 (CE5800 as an example).
l When the power module and fan module use forcible heat dissipation, they must use the same airflow
method. For example, if the power module with back-to-front airflow is used, the fan module with
back-to-front airflow must be used.
l When the fanless 150 W AC power module is used, the fan module with either of the airflow methods
can be used.

optical port.

Hardware Description
NOTE
A 5 m 1-to-4 QSFP+ high-speed cable cannot be used to connect a 40GE optical port (split into four 10GE
ports) and 10GE optical ports between the CE5850EI (running a version prior to V100R005C10) and
CE5855EI switches. To connect the 10GE and 40GE optical ports of the two switches, use any of the
following methods:
lUse a 1 m or 3 m 1-to-4 QSFP+ high-speed cable.
lUse optical modules and optical fibers.
lUpgrade the system software of the CE5850EI switch to V100R005C10 or a later version.
Console Port
The console port is connected to a console for onsite configuration. The port must use a console
cable. Table 2-13 describes the attributes of the console port.
NOTE
l The console port and Mini USB port share one internal serial port. You can use the console port or
Mini USB port as the serial port according to your needs. When the Mini USB is activated, the console
port cannot be used.
l When both the console port and Mini-USB port have a cable connected, the Mini-USB port is used.

The Mini USB port can connect to a configuration terminal for onsite configuration of the system,
but the configuration terminal must have a USB serial port driver installed. The Mini USB port
is used as the serial port once a link is established on the port.
ETH Management Port (RJ45)
RS232
Default value: 9600 bit/s
The ETH management port (RJ45) of a switch is connected to the network port of a configuration
terminal or network management workstation to set up the onsite or remote configuration
environment. The ETH management port (RJ45) uses a Category 5 or higher category cable.
Table 2-14 describes the attributes of the ETH management port (RJ45).

ETH Management Port (Combo)
The ETH management port (combo) consists of an electrical port and an optical port. You can
connect the electrical or optical port to a configuration terminal or network management
workstation to set up the onsite or remote configuration environment. The electrical and optical
ports are multiplexed, and only one of them can work at a time.
NOTE
The combo port automatically selects the working mode as follows:
lIf the optical port has no optical module installed and the electrical port has no network cable
connected, the port type depends on which port is connected first. If the electrical port is connected
by a network cable first, the electrical port is used for data switching. If the optical port has an optical
module installed first, the optical port is used for data switching.
lIf the electrical port has a network cable connected and is in Up state, the electrical port is still used
for data switching when the optical port has an optical module installed.
lIf the optical port has an optical module installed and is in Up state, the optical port is still used for
data switching when the electrical port has a network cable connected.
lIf the optical port has an optical module and fiber installed and the electrical port has a network cable
connected, the optical port is used for data switching after the switch restarts.
The combo electrical port uses a Category 5 or higher category network cable. Table 2-15
describes the attributes of the combo electrical port.

The combo optical port uses a 100M or GE optical module and matching fibers. A 100M optical
module can be used only after the switch starts successfully. If a 10GE optical module is installed,
the interface can go Up, but the system displays an alarm message, indicating that the interface
does not support the optical module. If a GE copper module is installed and the remote interface
has a GE copper module installed, the local interface can go Up but does not support rate
configuration.

The CE6850HI and CE6850U-HI switches have two ETH management ports (combo). Pay
attention to the following when using the two management ports:
lThe two ports cannot be used together, and you must choose one of them to use.
lBefore start of a CE6850HI or CE6850U-HI switch, you can select interface 1 or interface
2 in the BIOS menu. Interface 1 is the default choice. For details, see Modify parameters.
lAfter registration of the switch succeeds:
– If both the management ports have a cable connected and are in Up state, port 1 acts as
the primary management port and port 2 becomes the backup automatically. The
management interface number displayed on the command line interface is MEth0/0/0,
regardless of which port is used.
– If cables are connected to the two ETH management ports after successful registration
of the switch, the port that is connected first is used as the primary management port.
– If port 1 fails, the system switches management traffic to port 2 automatically. When
port 1 recovers, management traffic cannot be switched back to port 1, unless port 2
fails or the switch restarts. You can observe indicators on the ETH management ports
to determine which port is used currently. (The Link indicator of the ETH management
port in use is steady green. If data is being transmitted on this port, its ACT indicator is
blinking yellow. The indicators of the backup port are off.)
