Page 22: Connecting The Grounding Cable To The Chassis
• If the grounding cable length or terminal type cannot meet your requirement, make an applicable grounding cable or contact H3C Support. • If you use a grounding point on the side panel to ground the switch, connect the grounding cable to the grounding point before installing the switch in the rack. -
Page 23: Attaching The Slide Rails To The Rack
Use the grounding screws to attach the grounding lug of the grounding cable to the grounding holes at the grounding point (recommended torque: 20 kgf-cm). Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws. See Figure2-34, Figure2-35, and Figure2-36. Figure2-34 Attaching a grounding cable that has a single-hole lug to the grounding point (S6850-56HF) Figure2-35 Attaching a grounding cable that has a dule-hole lug to the grounding point (S6850-56HF) -
Page 24: Mounting The Switch In The Rack
To attach the slide rails to the rack: Identify the slide rail installation position in the rack. Install cage nuts (user-supplied) in the mounting holes in the rack posts. Align the screw holes in one slide rail with the cage nuts in a rear rack post. Use user-supplied M6 screws to attach the slide rail to the post (recommended torque: 30 kgf-cm). - Page 25 b. Pushes the switch slowly to slide the chassis rails along the slide rails until the mounting brackets are flush with the rack posts. IMPORTANT: • If you use long slide rails to rack-mount the S6850-56HF, make sure the front ends of the long slide rails reach out of the chassis rails for a maximum of 20 mm (0.79 in).

Figure2-48 Removing an LSWM1FANSA fan tray Installing/removing power modules WARNING! • To avoid bodily injury and device damage, strictly follow the procedures in Figure2-49 Figure2-50 to install and remove a power module. • Provide a separate circuit breaker for each power module. The S6850-56HF, S6850-2C, and S9850-32H switches each have two power module slots. - Page 33 The LSVM1AC650 and LSVM1DC650 installation procedure is the same on the S6850 and S9850 series switches. The figures in this section use the S6850-56HF switch as an example. To install a power module: Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded. Remove the filler panel, if any, from the target power module slot, as shown in Figure2-51.

Page 34: Removing A Power Module
Removing a power module CAUTION: • When an S6850-56HF, S6850-2C, or S9850-32H switch has two power modules in 1+1 redundancy mode, removing one power module does not affect the operation of the switch. When the switch has only one power module installed, removing the power module powers off the switch. - Page 35 Figure2-53 Removing the DC power cord (1) Press the tabs on the power cord connector with your thumb and forefinger (2) Pull the power cord connector out Figure2-54 Removing the power module (1) Pivot the latch to the right with your thumb (2) Pull the power module out 2-33...

Connecting an AC power cord Insert the female connector of the AC power cord supplied with the power module into the power receptacle on the power module. -
Page 37: Connecting A Dc Power Cord
Connecting a DC power cord Align the power cord plug with the power receptacle on the power module, and insert the plug into the receptacle (see Figure2-57). The plug and receptacle are foolproof. If you cannot insert the plug into the receptacle, re-orient the plug rather than use excessive force to push it in. -
Page 38: Installing An Expansion Module
The S6850-2C switch provides two expansion slots. For the available expansion modules, see Hardware Information and Specifications. The S9850-4C switch provides four expansion slots.

Page 46: Setting Up An Irf Fabric
Setting up an IRF fabric You can use H3C IRF technology to connect and virtualize multiple S6850/S9850 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 47: Planning Irf Fabric Setup
IRF member switches will automatically elect a master. 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 S6805 & S6825 & S6850 & S9850 Switch Series Virtual Technologies Configuration Guide. -
Page 48: Planning Irf Topology And Connections
Planning IRF topology and connections You can create an IRF fabric in daisy chain topology, or more reliably, ring topology. In ring topology, the failure of one IRF link does not cause the IRF fabric to split as in daisy chain topology. Rather, the IRF fabric changes to a daisy chain topology without interrupting network services. -
Page 49: Identifying Physical Irf Ports On The Member Switches
Figure4-3 IRF fabric in ring topology IRF-port2 IRF-port1 IRF-port2 IRF-port1 IRF-port1 IRF-port2 You can set up IRF links between S6850/S9850 switches as follows: • Use a QSFP28 module and fiber or a QSFP28 cable to connect QSFP28 ports for a 100-GE IRF physical connection. -
Page 50: Planning The Cabling Scheme
When you select ports in a port group for IRF links, you must use all or none of the ports in the group for IRF links. The ports can be bound to different IRF ports. On an LSWM116Q interface module of the switches, odd and even numbered ports are separated for grouping. -

Execute the command to verify the basic IRF settings. display irf configuration For more information about configuring basic IRF settings, see H3C S6805 & S6825 & S6850 & S9850 Switch Series Virtual Technologies Configuration Guide. Connecting the physical IRF ports CAUTION: Wear an ESD wrist strap when you install transceiver modules, fibers, and cables. -
Page 52: Accessing The Irf Fabric To Verify The Configuration
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 S6805 & S6825 & S6850 & S9850 Switch Series Fundamentals Configuration Guide.) Verify that you can manage all member switches as if they were one node. -

Power module failure Symptom The power module status LED on a power module is not steady green. For more information about the LEDs on a power module, see H3C LSVM1AC650 & LSVM1DC650 Power Modules User Manual. Solution To resolve the issue: Verify that the power cord is connected correctly. - Page 54 Verify that the power system is operating correctly. Verify that the console cable is connected correctly. Verify that the console cable does not have any problems and the terminal settings are correct. If the issue persists, contact H3C Support. Garbled display Symptom The configuration terminal has a garbled display.
