Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is well grounded. For more information, see "Attaching an ESD wrist strap." Unpack the cable. Plug the cable connector into the port. Make sure the cable connector is the right side up. The bend radius of the cable must be at least eight times the cable diameter.
Setting up an IRF fabric You can use H3C IRF technology to connect and virtualize S10500 switches into a large virtual switch called an "IRF fabric" for flattened network topology, high availability, scalability, and manageability. For more information about IRF, see H3C S10500 Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide.
Planning IRF fabric size and the installation site Plan IRF fabric size and the installation site, as follows: Use H3C S10500 Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide as a reference to identify the number of member switches that your system software version supports for an S10500 IRF fabric.
For more information about master election, see H3C S10500 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.
• Execute the display irf configuration command to verify the basic IRF settings. • For more information about configuring basic IRF settings, see H3C S10500 Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide. Connecting the physical IRF ports Follow these guidelines when selecting transceiver modules and cables: Use XFP transceiver modules and fibers to connect XFP ports.
Create a Layer 3 interface, assign it an IP address, and make sure the IRF fabric and the remote network management station can reach each other. Use Telnet or SNMP to access the IRF fabric from the network management station. (See H3C S10500 Switch Series Fundamentals Configuration Guide.) Verify that you can manage all member switches as if they were one node.
Telnet or SSH for remote access through Ethernet ports. You manage console login users at AUX user interfaces, and manage Telnet and SSH users at VTY user interfaces. For more information about login methods and user interfaces, see H3C S10500 Switch Series Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
Figure 30 Connecting a console port to a terminal Setting terminal parameters To configure and manage the switch, you must run a terminal emulator program on the console terminal.

Appendix E Cabling recommendations When an S10500 switch is mounted in a 19-inch standard rack, the interface cables are routed through the cable management brackets, bound at cabling racks on chassis sides, and then routed up or down to pass through the chassis top or the raised floor, depending on the available equipment room condition. The power cables run along the two sides of the chassis and out of the chassis either from the chassis top or the raised floor depending on the equipment room conditions (power distribution cabinet, lightning protection box, and connector strip, and so on) of the exchange office.

Appendix F Repackaging the switch This chapter describes how to repackage the switch chassis, power module, card, mounting bracket, cable management bracket, and air filter. Removing cables from the switch Before repackaging the switch, remove all cables such as the power cable, console cable, twisted pair, optical fiber, and grounding cable from the switch.
Figure 59 Removing the grounding cable (1) Grounding sign (2) Remove the grounding cable from the chassis (3) Loosen the hex nut on the grounding post of the grounding strip Removing the twisted pair and optical fiber You must remove twisted pairs and optical fibers from all the interfaces of the switch. NOTE: After pulling out an optical fiber from an optical transceiver module, cover the connector of the optical fiber with a dust cap to keep the connector clean.
Repackaging the card Prepare the anti-static bag and box of the card. Make sure the bag is clean, dry, and not damaged. Remove the transceiver modules from the card. If no transceiver module is installed on the card, go to the next step. For how to remove a transceiver module, see "Replacement procedures."...
