Product Overview

The ProCurve 5300xl Series Switches offers scalable layer 2, 3 and 4 switching in compact 4 or
8 slot modular form factors. The 5300xl Series Switches include the 4-slot Switch 5304xl and its
bundles, the Switch 5348xl and the Switch 5304xl-32G, and the 8-slot Switch 5308xl and its
bundles, the Switch 5372xl and the Switch 5308xl-48G. Any of the Switch 5300xl modules can
be put in any of the 5300xl Series slots.

Product Architecture and Design

Hardware Architecture

The 5300xl Series Switch architecture is based on 2 different PROCURVE designed ASIC
(Application Specific Integrated Circuits): the Network or N-Chip, and the Fabric or F-Chip.
Each 5300xl switch module has an N-Chip that provides on-module routing and switching
functions. It also provides the high speed connection to the backplane. The F-Chip, located on
the backplane, provides the wire speed crossbar fabric interconnecting all the ports. This
combination of highly integrated N-Chips connected through the F-Chip gives the ProCurve
5300xl Switch Series the ability to deliver wire-speed Layer 3 for the price of Layer 2 switching,
and in a chassis form factor.
