Page 9: Preparing For Installation
Preparing for installation Safety recommendations To avoid any equipment damage or bodily injury, read the following safety recommendations before installation. Note that the recommendations do not cover every possible hazardous condition. • Before cleaning the switch, unplug all power cords from the switch. Do not clean the switch with wet cloth or liquid. -
Page 10: Cleanliness
For the temperature and humidity requirements of different switch models, see "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. -

Page 19: Grounding The Switch
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. -

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 H3C S6300 switches into the IRF fabric to increase the switching capacity without any topology change or replacement. -
Page 35: Identifying Physical Irf Ports On The Member Switches
You can bind several ports of the same type to an IRF port for increased bandwidth and availability. Figure 31 Figure 32 show the topologies of an IRF fabric made up of three S6300 switches. The IRF port connections in the two figures are for illustration only, and more connection methods are available. -
Page 36: Planning The Cabling Scheme
All ports on the front panel of the S6300 switch can be used for IRF connections. Follow these guidelines when you identify 1/10-GE Ethernet ports and SFP+ ports to be used for IRF connections: • On an S6300-42QF, S6300-52QF, or S6300-48S switch, the SFP+ ports are grouped by port number in ascending order, starting from one. - Page 37 Figure 33 Connecting the switches in one rack Figure 34 IRF fabric topology 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.

• To bind the ports on an interface card to an IRF port, you must install the interface card first. For how to install an interface card, see H3C S6300 Switch Series Interface Cards User Guide. • Execute the display irf configuration command to verify the basic IRF settings. - Page 39 To avoid IP address collision and network problems, configure at least one multi-active detection (MAD) mechanism to detect the presence of multiple identical IRF fabrics and handle collisions. For more information about MAD detection, see H3C S6300 Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide.
