Page 44: Installing Frus
Installing FRUs As a best practice, connect power cords after installing all required FRUs. To ensure good ventilation, install filler panels on unused slots. Long-time exposure to strong air flow might cause discomfort. To avoid this hazard, do not stand close to the air outlet vents while the switch is operating. -
Page 45: Installing Mpus
As a best practice, fasten the captive screws to a torque of 5 kgf-cm (0.49 Nm). An S12501X-AF switch does not require MPUs. Unless otherwise stated, the term "MPU" in this document refers to MPUs and cloud SEUs. For the compatibility between the switch and the MPUs, see H3C S12500X-AF Switch Series Hardware Reference. -
Page 46: Installing Mpus For The S12516X-Af, S12512X-Af, And S12508X-Af Switches
You can install one MPU, or two MPUs for redundancy on the switch. If you are to install one MPU, install it in either of the MPU slots. Installing MPUs for the S12516X-AF, S12512X-AF, and S12508X-AF switches For the S12516X-AF, S12512X-AF, and S12508X-AF switches, the ejector levers of the MPUs and the ejector lever seats on the MPU slots have pink marks. -

Page 50: Installing S12500-X Lpus
IMPORTANT: As a best practice, fasten the captive screws to a torque of 5 kgf-cm (0.49 Nm). For the compatibility between the switch and the LPUs (also called interface modules), see H3C S12500X-AF Switch Series Hardware Reference. The S12501X-AF and S12502X-AF switches support only S12500X-AF Type H LPUs. - Page 51 Figure3-5 Installing an interface module adapter (S12516X-AF switch) (1) Push the interface module adapter slowly along the guide rails into the slot (2) Fasten the screws to secure the interface module adapter to the chassis Installing an S12500-X LPU The S12500-X LPU edges and the ejector lever seats on the LPU slots have purple marks.

Page 57: Installing Switching Fabric Modules
The cable management brackets are installed on the two sides of the LPU slots. As a best practice, install cable management brackets after you have installed LPUs. As shown in Figure3-10, insert the cable management bracket end that has a spring tab into the cable management bracket hole until the bracket has close contact with the hole. - Page 58 LSXM1CGP12FX1). The S12501X-AF and S12502X-AF switches do not require switching fabric modules. For the compatibility between the switch and the switching fabric modules, see H3C S12500X-AF Switch Series Hardware Reference. The switch has six vertically-oriented switching fabric module slots at the chassis rear. The switch comes with all switching fabric module slots empty.

Page 75: Setting Up An Irf Fabric
Setting up an IRF fabric You can use H3C IRF technology to connect and virtualize S12500X-AF 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 S12500-X&S12500X-AF Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide. -
Page 76: Planning Irf Fabric Setup
Planning IRF fabric size and the installation site Plan IRF fabric size and the installation site, as follows: Use H3C S12500-X&S12500X-AF Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide as a reference to identify the number of member switches that your system software version supports for an S12500X-AF IRF fabric. -
Page 77: Planning Irf Topology And Connections
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. Planning IRF topology and connections Connect the IRF member switches through IRF ports, the logical interfaces for the connections between IRF member switches. -
Page 78: Connecting The Physical Irf Ports
Bind physical ports to IRF-port 1 on one switch and to IRF-port 2 on the other switch. • Execute the display irf configuration command to verify the basic IRF settings. For more information about configuring basic IRF settings, see H3C S12500-X&S12500X-AF Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide. Connecting the physical IRF ports Follow these guidelines to connect the 10GE/40GE/100GE ports between the IRF member switches: •... - Page 79 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 S12500-X&S12500X-AF Switch Series Fundamentals Configuration Guide.) Verify that you can manage all member switches as if they were one node.
