Do not power on the switch when it does not have fan trays or has only one fan tray installed.
Installing a fan tray CAUTION: To prevent damage to the fan tray or the connectors in the chassis, 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. To install a fan tray: Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.
To remove a fan tray: Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded. Grasp the two handles of the fan tray, as shown by callout 1 in Figure 21, and pull out the fan tray slowly along the guide rails.

WARNING! • The DC-input power receptacle on the switch requires a DC power cord with a JD5-A connector. • To use a –48 VDC power source for power supply, purchase an H3C recommended DC power cord yourself. • To use an RPS for power supply, purchase a power cord compatible with the RPS yourself.
To connect a power cord for the built-in DC power module: Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded. Correctly orient the power cord connector and insert the connector into the DC-input power receptacle.
Connecting the PSR150-D1/PSR560-56D CAUTION: • To use a –48 VDC power source for power supply, purchase an H3C recommended DC power cord yourself. • To use an RPS for power supply, purchase a power cord compatible with the RPS yourself.

The following procedure uses the PSR720-56A power module as an example. To connect the PSR720-56A: Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.
Figure 37 Connecting the PSR720-56A Installing/removing an expansion card CAUTION: • Do not touch the surface-mounted components directly with your hands. • Do not use excessive force when you install or remove an expansion card. • Do not install or remove an expansion card on a starting switch. S5560X-EI switches except the S5560X-34S-EI and S5560X-54S-EI each provide an expansion slot at the rear.

After the startup completes, you can access the CLI to configure the switch. For more information about the configuration commands and CLI, see H3C S5560X-EI Switch Series Configuration Guides and H3C S5560X-EI Switch Series Command References.
Setting up an IRF fabric You can use H3C IRF technology to connect and virtualize S5560X-EI switches into a large virtual switch called an "IRF fabric" for flattened network topology, and high availability, scalability, and manageability. IRF fabric setup flowchart...
You can affect the election result by assigning a high member priority to the intended master switch. For more information about master election, see H3C S5560X-EI Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide or H3C S5560X-EI Switch Series Virtual Technologies Configuration Guide, depending on the software version.
Planning IRF topology and connections You can create an IRF fabric in daisy chain topology or more reliable ring topology. In ring topology, the failure of one IRF link does not cause the IRF fabric to split as in daisy chain topology. Instead, the IRF fabric changes to a daisy chain topology without interrupting network services.
SFP28 cable, or QSFP+ cable. For a long-distance IRF connection, use SFP+/SFP28/QSFP+ transceiver modules and optical fibers. The following subsections describe several H3C recommended IRF connection schemes. All these schemes use a ring topology. IMPORTANT: In these schemes, all physical IRF ports are located on the same side. If physical IRF ports are on...
Page 48
Connecting the IRF member switches in one rack Use twisted pair/SFP+/SFP28/QSFP+ cables to connect the IRF member switches (9 switches in this example) in a rack as shown in Figure 50. The switches in the ring topology (see Figure 51) are in the same order as connected in the rack.
• 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 S5560X-EI Switch Series Interface Cards User Guide. • Execute the display irf configuration command to verify the basic IRF settings.
To avoid IP address collision and network problems, configure a minimum of 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 S5560X-EI Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide or H3C S5560X-EI Switch Series Virtual Technologies Configuration Guide,...
Overtemperature can cause the power module to stop working and enter the protection state. If the problem persists, contact H3C Support. RPS DC input If the system status LED or RPS status LED is off when the switch uses RPS power input, an RPS input failure might have occurred.
S5560X-54C-PWR-EI switches, observe the LEDs on the power module and the PWR LED on the front panel of the switch. For more information about the LEDs on a power module, see H3C PSR360-56A Power Module User Manual, H3C PSR560-56D Power Module User Manual, H3C PSR720-56A Power Module User Manual, or H3C PSR1110-56A Power Module User Manual.
Verify that the power module is supplying power to the switch. Verify that the console cable is correctly connected. Verify that the console cable does not have any problems and the PC settings are correct. If the problem persists, contact H3C Support. Garbled display Symptom The display on the PC is garbled.
