    Installing a power supply CAUTION: • Follow the forward inertia of the power supply when inserting it into the chassis, and make sure that the power supply has firm contact with the connectors on the backplane. • To prevent damage to the connectors inside the switch chassis, insert the power supply gently. If you encounter a hard resistance while inserting the power supply, pull out the power supply and insert it again.

  • Page 36: Setting Up An Irf Fabric

    Setting up an IRF fabric You can use HPE IRF technology to connect and virtualize the switches into a large virtual switch called an "IRF fabric" for flattened network topology, and high availability, scalability, and manageability. To set up IRF links between the switches, use SFP+ ports, 1/10-GE Ethernet ports, or QSFP+ ports.

  • Page 37: Planning Irf Fabric Size And The Installation Site

    Distribute the IRF member switches in different racks to implement the top-of-rack (ToR) access solution for a data center. NOTE: As your business grows, you can plug an HPE 5920 or 5900 switch into an IRF fabric to increase the switching capacity without any topology change or replacement.

Every four 1/10-GE ports form one group. A common practice is to use one 1/10-GE port or SFP+ port group for IRF connections, and bind every two 1/10-GE port or SFP+ ports in the group to an IRF port for increased bandwidth and availability.

  • Page 40: Planning The Cabling Scheme

    On the HPE 5900AF-48G-4XG-2QSFP+ and 5900AF-48G-4XG-2QSFP+ TAA switches, SFP+ ports numbered 49, 50, 51, and 52 form one group. • On the HPE 5900AF-48XGT-4QSFP+ and 5900AF-48XGT-4QSFP+ TAA switches, the 1/10-GE ports are grouped by port number in ascending order, starting from one.
