(3) Grounding post (4) Grounding strip HP recommends that you use the primary grounding point or auxiliary grounding point 1 on the switch, because the grounding cable and grounding screw provided with the switch are applicable only to these two grounding points.
• When two fan trays fail during switch operation: Finish replacing the fan trays within 2 minutes on an HP 5930-32 QSFP+/HP 5930-32 QSFP+ TAA or HP 5930-2Slot+2QSFP+/HP 5930-2Slot+2QSFP+ TAA switch. Finish replacing the fan trays within 1 minute on an HP 5930-4Slot/HP 5930-4Slot TAA switch.
Installing a fan tray CAUTION: To prevent damage to the fan tray or the connectors on the backplane, insert the fan tray gently. If you encounter a hard resistance while inserting the fan tray, pull out the fan tray and insert it again. Select appropriate fan trays as needed.

Figure 26 Removing an LSWM1BFANSC/LSWM1BFANSCB fan tray Installing/removing a power supply WARNING! In power redundancy mode, you can replace a power supply without powering off the switch but must • strictly follow the installation and procedures in Figure 27 Figure 28 to avoid any bodily injury or damage to the switch.
Install filler panels in the empty power supply slots for good ventilation of the switch. • The power supply installation procedures are the same for the HP FlexFabric 5930 switches. This section uses the HP 5930-32 QSFP+/HP 5930-32 QSFP+ TAA switch as an example.
The power supply removing procedures are the same for the HP FlexFabric 5930 switches. This section uses the HP 5930-32 QSFP+/HP 5930-32 QSFP+ TAA switch as an example: To remove a power supply: Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.

After the startup completes, you can access the CLI to configure the switch. For more information about the configuration commands and CLI, see HP FlexFabric 5930 Switch Series Configuration Guide and HP FlexFabric 5930 Switch Series Command References.
Setting up an IRF fabric You can use HP IRF technology to connect and virtualize HP FlexFabric 5930 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 two switches, use the 10-GE or 40-GE ports.
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 HP FlexFabric 5930 switches into the IRF fabric to increase the switching capacity without any topology change or replacement.
NOTE: 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 FlexFabric 5930 Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide Prepare an IRF member ID assignment scheme.
Identify the 1/10-GE Ethernet ports, SFP+ ports, and QSFP+ ports to be used for IRF connections on the member switches according to your topology and connection scheme. All the 1/10-GE Ethernet ports, SFP+ ports, and QSFP+ ports on the HP FlexFabric 5930 switch can be used for IRF connections.
Configuring basic IRF settings After you install the IRF member switches, power on the switches, and log in to each IRF member switch (see HP FlexFabric 5930 Switch Series Fundamentals Configuration Guide) to configure their member IDs, member priorities, and IRF port bindings.
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, Web, or SNMP to access the IRF fabric from the network management station. (See HP FlexFabric 5930 Switch Series Fundamentals Configuration Guide.) Verify that you can manage all member switches as if they were one node.
Power supply failure You can use the LEDs on the power supply to identify a power supply failure. For more information about the LEDs on a power supply, see HP A58x0AF 650W AC (JC680A) & 650W DC (JC681A) Power Supplies User Guide.
