Page 8: Preparing For Installation
Preparing for installation The S6860 switch series includes the following models: • S6860-54HF. • S6860-54HT. • S6860-30HF. Safety recommendations To avoid any equipment damage or bodily injury caused by incorrect use, read the following safety recommendations before installation. Note that the recommendations do not cover every possible hazardous condition. -
Page 9: Temperature/Humidity
• 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, see H3C S6860 Switch Series Hardware Information and Specifications. Cleanliness Dust buildup on the chassis might cause electrostatic adsorption and dust corrosion, resulting in poor contact of metal connectors and contact points. -

Page 24: Installing And Removing A Fan Tray
• Do not connect the grounding cable to a fire main or lightning rod. • To guarantee the grounding effect and avoid switch damage, use the grounding cable provided with the switch to connect the switch to a grounding strip in the equipment room. 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 25: Installing A Fan Tray
• Do not touch any bare wires and terminals on a fan tray. • Do not place a fan tray in a moist location or let liquid flow into it. • Contact H3C Support if the circuits or components on a fan tray are faulty. Do not remove any fan tray components. -

Page 27: Installing A Power Supply
Installing a power supply CAUTION: • Follow the forward inertia of the power supply when inserting it into the chassis, and make sure 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 28: Removing A Power Supply
Removing a power supply CAUTION: When the switch has two power supplies in 1+1 redundancy mode, removing one power supply does not affect the operation of the switch. When the switch has only one power supply installed, removing the power supply powers off the switch. Removing a PSR250-12A/PSR250-12A1 or PSR450-12A/PSR450-12A1 power supply removal procedure... - Page 29 Figure2-30 Opening the cable clamp Figure2-31 Removing the power cord from the power supply Hold the handle of the power supply with one hand, press the latch on the power supply to the right with your thumb, and pull the power supply part way out of the slot. Supporting the power supply bottom with one hand, slowly pull the power supply out of the slot along the guide rails with the other.

Page 30: Connecting The Power Cord
Connecting the power cord WARNING! Provide a circuit breaker for each power input. When you connect a power cord, make sure the circuit breaker is switched off. Connecting the power cord for a PSR250-12A/PSR250-12A1/PSR450-12A/PSR450-12A1 power supply Insert the female connector of the power cord supplied with the power supply into the power receptacle on the power supply. -

After the preinstallation finishes, the system pops up a dialog box to indicate a successful preinstallation. -
Page 35: Powering On The Switch
After the startup completes, you can access the CLI to configure the switch. For more information about the configuration commands and CLI, see H3C S6860 Switch Series Configuration Guides and H3C S6860 Switch Series Command References. -
Page 36: Setting Up An Irf Fabric
Setting up an IRF fabric You can use H3C IRF technology to connect and virtualize S6860 switches into a large virtual switch called an "IRF fabric" for flattened network topology, and high availability, scalability, and manageability. The switch can set up an IRF fabric only with switches from the same switch series. -
Page 37: 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 S6860 switches into the IRF fabric to increase the switching capacity without any topology change or replacement. -
Page 38: 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 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. -
Page 39: Identifying Physical Irf Ports On The Member Switches
If the IRF member switches are all in one equipment room, choose twisted pair cables or SFP+/QSFP/QSFP28 cables. For more information about available transceiver modules and cables, see H3C S6860 Switch Series Hardware Information and Specifications. - Page 40 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 Figure4-4 shows an example for connecting four IRF member switches in a rack by using QSFP+ cables and QSFP+ transceiver modules and optical fibers.
-
Page 41: Configuring Basic Irf Settings
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 S6860 Switch Series Fundamentals Configuration Guide.) Verify that you can manage all member switches as if they were one node. - Page 42 (MAD) mechanism to detect the presence of multiple identical IRF fabrics and handle collisions. For more information about MAD detection, see H3C S6860 Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide or H3C S6860 Switch Series Virtual Technologies Configuration Guide, depending on the software version.

You can use the status LED on a power supply to identify a power supply failure. For more information about the status LED on a power supply, see H3C PSR250-12A & PSR250-12A1 Power Modules User Manual or H3C PSR450 Power Module Series User Manual. - Page 44 Stop bits—1. Parity—None. Flow control—None. If the issue persists, contact H3C Support. Garbled display on the configuration terminal Symptom The configuration terminal displays garbled text.
