Page 8: Preparing For Installation
Preparing for installation The H3C S6520-EI Switch Series includes the following models: • S6520-42QF-EI. • S6520-48S-EI. • S6520-52QF-EI. 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. -
Page 9: Cleanliness
• Lasting low relative humidity can cause washer contraction and ESD and cause problems including loose mounting 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 "Technical specifications."... -
Page 10: Laser Safety
Laser safety WARNING! Do not stare into any fiber port when the switch has power. The laser light emitted from the optical fiber might hurt your eyes. The switch is a Class 1 laser device. Installation tools The installation tools are not provided with the switch. Prepare them yourself. •... -
Page 11: Installing The Switch
CAUTION: Keep the tamper-proof seal on a mounting screw on the chassis cover intact, and if you want to open the chassis, contact H3C for permission. Otherwise, H3C shall not be liable for any consequence caused thereby. Figure 1 Hardware installation flow... -

Page 15: Attaching The Slide Rails To The Rack
Figure 7 Attaching the mounting brackets/chassis rails to the chassis (network port-side mounting position for mounting brackets) NOTE: As a best practice, use the primary grounding point or auxiliary grounding point 1 because the grounding cable and grounding screw that come with the switch are suitable only for these two grounding points. -
Page 16: Mounting The Switch In The Rack
Mounting the switch in the rack This task requires two people. To mount the switch in the rack: Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is well grounded. Verify that the mounting brackets and chassis rails have been securely attached to the switch chassis. -
Page 17: Grounding The Switch
Figure 10 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). -
Page 18: Grounding The Switch By Using The Ac Power Cord
Attach the two-hole grounding lug at one end of the grounding cable to a grounding point on the switch chassis (see "Connecting the grounding cable to the chassis"). Remove the hex nut of a grounding post on the grounding strip. Attach the ring terminal at the other end of the grounding cable to the grounding strip through the grounding post, and fasten the ring terminal with the removed hex nut. -

Page 24: Connecting The Power Cord
Connecting the power cord Connecting the AC power module Insert the female connector of the AC power cord supplied with the power module into the power receptacle on the power module. Use a cable tie to secure the power cord to the handle of the power module, as shown in Figure Connect the other end of the power cord to an AC power outlet. -
Page 25: Verifying The Installation
Verifying the installation After you complete the installation, verify that: • There is enough space for heat dissipation around the switch, and the rack is stable. • The grounding cable is securely connected. • The correct power source is used. •... -
Page 26: Accessing The Switch For The First Time
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 22 Connecting the console port to a terminal Connecting the console cable Console cable... -
Page 27: Setting Terminal Parameters
NOTE: • Identify the mark on the console port and make sure 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. - Page 28 Figure 25 Setting the serial port used by the HyperTerminal connection Set Bits per second to 9600, Data bits to 8, Parity to None, Stop bits to 1, and Flow control to None, and click OK.

Page 31: Setting Up An Irf Fabric
Setting up an IRF fabric You can use H3C IRF technology to connect and virtualize S6520-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... -
Page 32: Planning Irf Fabric Setup
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 S6520-EI switches into the IRF fabric to increase the switching capacity without any topology change or replacement. -
Page 33: Identifying Physical Irf Ports On The Member Switches
When connecting two neighboring IRF member switches, you must connect the physical ports of IRF-port 1 on one switch to the physical ports of IRF-port 2 on the other switch. The S6520-42QF-EI and S6520-52QF-EI switches can provide 10-GE and 40-GE IRF connections through SFP+ ports and QSFP+ ports, respectively. -
Page 34: Planning The Cabling Scheme
"QSFP+ port." The following subsections describe several H3C 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... -
Page 35: Configuring Basic Irf Settings
• 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 S6520-EI Switch Series Interface Cards User Guide. • Execute the display irf configuration command to verify the basic IRF settings. -
Page 36: Connecting The Physical Irf Ports
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 S6520-EI Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide. -
