Preparing for installation The H3C S5560-HI Switch Series includes the following models: S5560-32C-HI. • • S5560-56C-HI. S5560-38C-HI-XG. • S5560-56F-HI. • S5560-56C-PWR-HI. • Safety recommendations To avoid any equipment damage or bodily injury caused by improper use, read the following safety recommendations before installation.
The rack or workbench 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. Temperature/humidity Maintain temperature and humidity in the equipment room as described in "Appendix A Chassis views and technical specifications."...
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. Keep the switch far away from radio transmitting stations, radar stations, and high-frequency •...
Installing the switch CAUTION: Keep the tamper-proof seal on a mounting screw on the chassis cover intact, and if you want to open the chassis, contact H3C for permission. Otherwise, H3C shall not be liable for any consequence.

Installing/removing a fan tray CAUTION: Install two fan trays of the same model on the switch. Do not power on the switch when it does not have • fan trays or has only one fan tray installed. Make sure slots are installed with fan trays or blank filler panels for the device to operate. •...
IMPORTANT: At the first login to the switch, use the fan prefer-direction command to set the airflow direction of the • switch to be the same as the airflow direction of the fan tray. If the fan tray has a different airflow direction than the switch, the system outputs traps and logs to notify you to replace the fan tray.
Figure 20 Installation procedure Figure 21 Removal procedure Installing/removing LSVM1AC300 and LSVM1DC300 power modules The installation and removal procedures are the same for the LSVM1AC300 and LSVM1DC300 power modules. The following procedure uses the LSVM1AC300 power module as an example. Installing a power module Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.
Page 27
Figure 23 Removing the filler panel (2) Keep the removed filler panel for future use. Correctly orient the power module. Grasp the handle of the power module with one hand and support its bottom with the other, and slide the power module slowly along the guide rails into the slot.

After the startup completes, you can access the CLI to configure the switch. For more information about the configuration commands and CLI, see H3C S5560-HI Switch Series Configuration Guides and H3C S5560-HI Switch Series Command References.
Setting up an IRF fabric You can use H3C IRF technology to connect and virtualize S5560-HI switches into a large virtual switch called an "IRF fabric" for flattened network topology, and high availability, scalability, and manageability. IRF fabric setup flowchart...
You can affect the election result by assigning a high member priority to the intended master switch. For more information about master election, see H3C S5560-HI Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide. Prepare an IRF member ID assignment scheme. An IRF fabric uses member IDs to uniquely identify and...
Planning IRF topology and connections You can create an IRF fabric in daisy chain topology or more reliable ring topology. In ring topology, the failure of one IRF link does not cause the IRF fabric to split as in daisy chain topology. Instead, the IRF fabric changes to a daisy chain topology without interrupting network services.
SFP+/QSFP+ transceiver modules, see "Appendix C Ports and LEDs." The following subsections describe several H3C recommended IRF connection schemes, and all these schemes use a ring topology. IMPORTANT: In these schemes, all physical IRF ports are located on the same side. If physical IRF ports are on different sides, you must measure the distance between them to select an appropriate cable.

Use Telnet, web, or SNMP to access the IRF fabric from the network management station. (See H3C S5560-HI Switch Series Fundamentals Configuration Guide.) Verify that you can manage all member switches as if they were one node.
For more information about the PWR1 and PWR2 LEDs on the front panel of the switch, see Table • For more information about the LEDs on a power module, see H3C LSVM1AC300 & LSVM1DC300 • Power Modules User Manual. Symptom The power module status LEDs are not steady green.
Verify that the power module is supplying power to the switch. Verify that the console cable is correctly connected. Verify that the console cable does not have any problems and the terminal settings are correct. If the problem persists, contact H3C Support. Garbled terminal display Symptom Terminal display is garbled.
