NOTE: The available chassis models and accessories vary by country and region. This document describes only the preceding models. For the chassis models and accessories available in your country or region, contact the local HPE marketing personnel. Safety recommendations To avoid equipment damage or bodily injury, read the following safety recommendations before installation.
Cleanliness Dust buildup on the chassis might cause electrostatic adsorption and dust corrosion, resulting in poor contact of metal connectors and contact points. This might shorten the device's lifetime and even cause device failure in the worst case. Table 2 describes the dust concentration limits in the equipment room.
CAUTION: As a best practice, control the corrosive gas concentrations in the equipment room at their average values. Make sure the corrosive gas concentrations do not exceed 30 minutes per day at their maximum values. To control corrosive gases, use the following guidelines: •...

Figure 10 Screw anchor and screw To mount the switch on a wall: Mark two installation holes on the wall. Make sure the two holes are on the same horizontal line. Table 6 for the distance requirement between the two holes. Figure 11 Installing the switch on a wall (1) Drill two holes with a diameter of 6 mm (0.24 in) and a depth of 25 mm (0.98 in) at the marked locations.
Figure 13 Installing the switch on a wall (3) 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).

See the IRF configuration guide or virtual technologies Configure basic IRF settings. configuration guide for the switch series, depending on the software version.
The switch can form an IRF fabric only with switches from the same switch series. For the physical ports that can be used for IRF connections and the restrictions for using the ports, see Table 9. The IRF physical ports can set up IRF connections only when operating at their highest speeds. For example, a 10-GE port must operate at 10 Gbps.
Table 9 IRF physical ports and use restrictions Candidate IRF physical Restrictions for using the ports for Device model ports IRF connections All physical ports to be bound to an IRF port must have the same data rate. The port must operate at its highest speed. HPE 5140 24G 4SFP+ EI •...
As a best practice, use ring topology to connect the switches. The following describes cabling schemes in ring topology. Connecting the IRF member switches in one rack Use SFP cables to connect the IRF member switches in a rack as shown in Figure 35.
• 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.
Maintenance and troubleshooting Fixed power supply failure To identify a power failure on a switch with fixed power supplies, examine the system status LED (SYS) and the RPS status LED (RPS) on the switch. NOTE: Only the following switches provide an RPS status LED: •...

Symptom A power supply LED on the front panel of the switch is not steady green. Solution To resolve the issue: Verify that the AC or DC power cord is correctly connected to the switch.
Verify that the console cable is not faulty. If the issue persists, contact HPE Support. Garbled display on the configuration terminal Symptom The configuration terminal displays garbled text. Solution To resolve the issue: Verify that the following settings are configured for the terminal: Baud rate—9600.
