Installing the switch in a 19-inch rack Installation prerequisites To close the rack door easily, make sure the rack depth for the HP 5700-32XGT-8XG-2QSFP+ and HP 5700-32XGT-8XG-2QSFP+ TAA switches is a minimum of 1000 mm (39.37 in). The distance from the front to the rear posts of the rack must meet the requirements described in Table You must use both the mounting bracket and the rack mounting rail kit to rack-mount the switch.
Using mounting brackets and • HP 5700-48G-4XG-2QSFP+ 401 mm 654 mm short slide rails (supplied with (15.79 in) (25.75 in) • HP 5700-48G-4XG-2QSFP+ TAA the switch) • HP 5700-40XG-2QSFP+ Using mounting brackets and 621 mm 874 mm • HP 5700-40XG-2QSFP+ TAA long slide rails (optional) (24.45 in)
Use the primary grounding point whenever possible. If the primary grounding point fails or is not suitable for the installation site, use one of the auxiliary grounding points. Figure 5 Mounting and grounding positions of the HP 5700-32XGT-8XG-2QSFP+/HP 5700-32XGT-8XG-2QSFP+ TAA switch...

Attaching the slide rails to the rack Identify the rack attachment position for the slide rails, and mark cage nut installation positions on the rack posts. Install cage nuts (user-supplied) in the mounting holes in the rack posts. Align the screw holes in one slide rail with the cage nuts in the rack post on one side, and use screws (user supplied) to attach the slide rail to the rack, as shown in Figure Repeat the preceding step to attach the other slide rail to the rack post on the other side.
Page 17
To secure the switch in the rack, make sure the front ends of the slide rails reach out of the chassis rails. Figure 10 Mounting the switch in the rack (1) Figure 11 Mounting the switch in the rack (2)
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.
(3) Grounding post (4) Grounding strip NOTE: HP recommends that you use the primary grounding point or auxiliary grounding point 1, because the • grounding cable and grounding screw provided with the switch are applicable only to these two grounding points.

The fan trays in the HP 5700-32XGT-8XG-2QSFP+ and HP 5700-32XGT-8XG-2QSFP+ TAA switches • must be the same type: LSWM1HFANSC or LSWM1HFANSCB.
Installing a fan tray CAUTION: To prevent damage to the fan tray or the connectors on the backplane, insert the fan tray gently. If you encounter a hard resistance while inserting the fan tray, pull out the fan tray and insert it again. Select appropriate fan trays as needed.
Installing/removing a power supply WARNING! The switch does not support intermixing of AC and DC power supplies. • HP 5700-48G-4XG-2QSFP+ and HP 5700-48G-4XG-2QSFP+ TAA switches do not support • intermixing of 300 W and 650 W power supplies. • In power redundancy mode, you can replace a power supply without powering off the switch but must...
Figure 17 Installing a power supply Figure 18 Installing a power supply filler module Removing a power supply CAUTION: If the switch has two power supplies, removing one power supply does not affect the operation of the switch. If the switch has only one power supply, removing the power supply powers off the switch. To remove a 300 W AC power supply, 300 W DC power supply, 650 W AC power supply, or 650 W DC power supply from the switch: Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is well grounded.

Setting up an IRF fabric You can use HP IRF technology to connect and virtualize HP FlexFabric 5700 switches into a large virtual switch called an "IRF fabric" for flattened network topology, and high availability, scalability, and manageability. IRF fabric setup flowchart...
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 HP FlexFabric 5700 switches into the IRF fabric to increase the switching capacity without any topology change or replacement.
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 HP FlexFabric 5700 switches. The IRF port connections in the two figures are for illustration only, and more connection methods are available.
Identify the ports to be used for IRF connections on the member switches according to your topology and connection scheme. All ports on the front panel of the HP FlexFabric 5700 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: •...

"QSFP+ port." The following subsections describe several HP recommended IRF connection schemes, and all these schemes use a ring topology. Connecting the IRF member switches in one rack Use short-haul and long-haul SFP+ cables to connect the IRF member switches (four switches in this...
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 HP FlexFabric 5700 Switch Series Interface Cards User Guide. Execute the display irf configuration command to verify the basic IRF settings.
Page 38
Use Telnet, web, or SNMP to access the IRF fabric from the network management station. (See HP FlexFabric 5700 Switch Series Fundamentals Configuration Guide.) Verify that you can manage all member switches as if they were one node. Display the running status of the IRF fabric by using the commands in...
You can use the LEDs on the power supply to identify a power supply failure. For more information about the LEDs on a power supply, see HP A58x0AF 300W AC (JG900A) & 300W DC (JG901A) Power Supplies User Guide and HP A58x0AF 650W AC (JC680A) & 650W DC (JC681A) Power Supplies User Guide.
