Examining the installation site The HP 3600 v2 Switch Series must be used indoors. You can mount the switch in a rack or on a workbench, but make sure: Adequate clearance is reserved at the air inlet and exhaust vents for ventilation.
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 “Environmental specifications”.
Cooling requirements The built-in fans in the 3600 v2 switches blow air from the left to the right of the chassis for heat dissipation, as shown in Figure Figure 15 Airflow through the 3600 v2 switches (1) Air intake (2) Air exhaust For adequate heat dissipation, plan the installation site according to the airflow of your switch, and adhere to the following requirements: Leave a clearance of at least 10 cm (3.94 in) around the air intake and exhaust vents.
WARNING! Keep the tamper-proof seal on a mounting screw on the chassis cover intact, and if you want to open the chassis, contact your local HP agent for permission. Otherwise, HP shall not be liable for any consequence caused thereby.
Mounting bracket kit Figure 17 Mounting bracket kit Attaching the mounting brackets to the chassis The 3600 v2 switch provides one front mounting position and one rear mounting position. You can install the mounting brackets as needed. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, and make sure that the wrist strap makes good skin contact and is well grounded.
Rack-mounting an 3600 v2 switch This installation task requires two persons. To mount the switch in a rack: Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is well grounded. Check that the mounting brackets have been securely attached to the switch chassis. Install cage nuts (user-spplied) in the mounting holes in the rack posts.
Place the switch with bottom up, and clean the round holes in the chassis bottom with dry cloth. Attach the rubber feet to the four round holes in the chassis bottom. Place the switch with upside up on the workbench. IMPORTANT: Ensure good ventilation and 10 cm (3.9 in) of clearance around the chassis for heat dissipation.
Grounding the switch with a grounding strip When a grounding strip is available at the installation site, connect the grounding cable to the grounding strip. CAUTION: The supplied grounding cable of the 3600 v2 Switch Series does not have an auxiliary OT terminal. •...
If you have an OT terminal, follow callout A in Figure 23 to make the connector: Peel 5 mm (0.20 • in) of insulation sheath by using a wire stripper, and then insert the naked metal part through the insulation covering into the end of the OT terminal. Secure the metal part of the cable to the OT terminal with a crimper, and then cover it with the insulation covering.
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.
Figure 26 Ground the switch by burying the grounding conductor into the earth ground (1) Grounding screw (2) Grounding cable (3) Earth (4) Joint (5) Grounding conductor (6) Cassis rear panel Connecting the power cord CAUTION: Before powering on the switch, you must connect the power cord and make sure the switch is well grounded.
Connecting a DC power cord NOTE: The 3600-24 v2 SI Switch and 3600-48 v2 SI Switch do not support DC power supply. • No DC power cord is supplied with the 3600 v2 Switch Series. • The 3600 v2 Switch Series provides DC power input. Non PoE switches (3600-24 v2 EI Switch, 3600-48 v2 EI Switch, and 3600-24-SFP v2 EI Switch) •...
Verifying the installation After you complete the installation, verify that: There is enough space for heat dissipation around the switch, and the rack or workbench is stable. • • The grounding cable is securely connected. • The correct power source is used. The power cords are properly connected.
Accessing the switch for the first time Setting up the configuration environment The first time you access the switch you must use a console cable to connect a console terminal, for example, a PC, to the console port on the switch. Figure 29 Connect the console port to a terminal Connecting the console cable Console cable...
Connect the RJ-45 connector to the console port of the switch. WARNING! Identify the mark on the console port to ensure that 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 up an IRF fabric You can use HP Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) technology to connect and virtualize 3600 v2 switches into a virtual switch called an “IRF fabric” or “IRF virtual device” for flattened network topology, and high availability, scalability, and manageability.
Power on the switches Configure basic For more information about IRF, see the HP 3600 v2 Switch Series IRF settings Configuration Guide. Connect physical IRF ports on switches. Use Ethernet cables, SFP transceiver modules, and fibers to connect ports over a long distance, or use SFP IRF Connect the physical IRF modules to connect ports over a short distance.
For more information about master election, see the HP 3600 v2 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.
When using a combo interface for IRF connection, configure the fiber or copper port of the combo interface as active. For how to configure the combo interface state, see the HP 3600 v2 Switch Series Layer 2—LAN Switching Configuration Guide.

Execute the display irf configuration command to verify the basic IRF settings. • For more information about configuring basic IRF settings, see the HP 3600 v2 Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide. Connecting the physical IRF ports Connect IRF member switches with GE Ethernet cables, SFP IRF modules or SFP transceiver modules, and fibers as planned.
Use Telnet, web or SNMP to access the IRF fabric from the network management station. (See the HP 3600 v2 Switch Series Fundamentals Configuration Guide.) Check that you can manage all member switches as if they were one node.

Status Description mark The DC input is normal, and the AC power Steady yellow receptacle has an input error or is not connected. DC power status LED No DC power input AC or RPS input If your switch is AC powered or DC powered, look at the system status LED to identify a power failure. If the system status LED is off, a power supply failure has occurred.
NOTE: If the problem persists, contact the HP technical support for help. Fan failure You can look at the system status LED and the seven-segment LED of an 3600 v2 switch to identify a fan failure. If both LEDs are behaving as described in Table 7, a fan failure occurs.

Combo interface A combo interface has one fiber SFP port and one 1000Base-T copper Ethernet port. These two ports share one port number and cannot work simultaneously. When you activate one port, the other port automatically shuts down. On the front panel of an 3600 v2 switch, the copper combo ports are marked in the port number + T format, and the fiber SFP combo ports are marked in the port number + S format.
