Page 56 Setting up an IRF fabric You can use H3C IRF technology to connect and virtualize S12500-X 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 Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide.
Page 57 Planning IRF fabric size and the installation site Plan IRF fabric size and the installation site, as follows: Use H3C S12500-X Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide as a reference to identify the number of member switches that your system software version supports for an S12500-X IRF fabric.
Page 58 For more information about master election, see H3C S12500-X Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide. 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.
Page 59 • Execute the display irf configuration command to verify the basic IRF settings. • For more information about configuring basic IRF settings, see H3C S12500-X Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide. Connecting the physical IRF ports Follow these guidelines to connect the physical IRF ports: Use twisted pair cables to connect 10Gbase-T ports.
Page 60 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 Switch Series Fundamentals Configuration Guide.) Verify that you can manage all member switches as if they were one node.

Page 73 Contact your sales agent or local service engineer to replace the old power module. If the problem persists, contact H3C Support. Fan failure The MPU and the fan tray provide the fan tray LEDs (OK and FAIL LEDs) to indicate the fan tray status. If the OK LEDs are off and the FAIL LEDs are on, the fan tray is faulty.
Page 74 Verify that the empty LPU slots and power module slots are installed with filler panels. If not, install filler panels for them to guarantee good ventilation. If the problem persists, contact H3C Support. MPU failure The status LEDs on the MPU of the S12500-X switch indicate the MPU status and the status of a card in the corresponding slot.
Page 75 If the switch has empty card slots, install the card into another slot. If the card can operate correctly, the previous slot is faulty. If the problem persists, contact H3C Support. Interface failure The interfaces provided by MPUs and LPUs all have corresponding LEDs. When an interface connected to the network operates correctly, the corresponding LED is on.

Page 86 Figure 57 Installing a fan tray (1) Figure 58 Installing a fan tray (2) Replacing an air filter WARNING! When replacing an air filter while the switch is running, be aware of electrical safety hazards. The air filter is an optional accessory. Clean air filters every three months to guarantee adequate ventilation and avoid over-temperature.
Page 87 An S12516-X AC/S12516-X DC switch uses two air filters. One is located in the power module area, and the other is located at the left side of the chassis. The air filter in the power module area is attached to the plastic panel with screws. It is located at the lower part of the front panel (covering the air inlet vents and power module slots).
Page 88 Figure 60 Removing an air filter from the plastic panel To remove an air filter from the left side of the S12516-X AC/S12516-X DC chassis, use a screwdriver to loosen the screws in the air filter.

Page 161 Put the packed plastic panel and air filter into their boxes, respectively, and tape the flaps of the boxes with packing tape. Repackaging the power module CAUTION: Before removing a power module, switch off the circuit breakers at the input end of all power cords, and remove all the power cords to avoid device damage and bodily injury.
Page 162 Put the wooden pallet base to a proper place. As shown in callout 1 in Figure 100, use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the screws that attach the mounting brackets to the rack. As shown in callout 2 in Figure 100, cooperate with a minimum of three people to slide the chassis outwards along the slide rails.
