Product overview IMPORTANT: For regulatory identification purposes, the 3100-48 v2 switch is assigned a regulatory model number (RMN) BJNGA-AD0015. This regulatory number should not be confused with the marketing name HP 3100-48 v2, or product code JG315A or JG315B. 3100-48 v2 Switch panel views...
Examining the installation site The HP 3100-48 v2 Switch must be used indoors. You can mount the switch in a rack or on a workbench, but make sure: Adequate clearance is reserved at the air inlet and exhaust vents for ventilation.
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 “Appendix A Technical specifications.” Cleanness Dust buildup on the chassis may result in electrostatic adsorption, which causes poor contact of metal components and contact points, especially when indoor relative humidity is low.
Cooling requirements The built-in fan in the 3100-48 v2 switch blows air from the left to the right of the chassis for heat dissipation, as shown in Figure Figure 3 Airflow through the 3100-48 v2 switch (1) Air intake (2) Air exhaust...
WARNING! Keep the tamper-proof seal on a mounting screw on the chassis cover intact, and if you want to open the chassis, contact your local HP agent for permission. Otherwise, HP shall not be liable for any consequence caused thereby.
Figure 5 Mounting bracket kit Attaching the mounting brackets to the chassis The 3100-48 v2 switch provides one front mounting position and one rear mounting position. You can install the mounting brackets as needed. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, and make sure that the wrist strap makes good skin contact and is well grounded.
Figure 8 Mount a 3100-48 v2 switch in a rack Mounting the switch on a workbench If a standard 19-inch rack is not available, you can place a 3100-48 v2 switch on a clean, flat workbench, as follows: Check that the workbench is sturdy and well grounded.
Grounding the switch with a grounding conductor buried in the earth ground Grounding cable The 3100-48 v2 Switch is provided with a yellow-green grounding cable. One end of the cable has an OT terminal, and the other end is naked and soldered, as shown in...
Page 14
CAUTION: The supplied grounding cable of the 3100-48 v2 Switch does not have an auxiliary OT terminal. • Connect the grounding cable to the earthing system in the equipment room. Do not connect it to a fire • main or lightning rod.
If you do not have an OT terminal, follow callout B in Figure 1 1 to make the connector: Peel the • insulation sheath by an appropriate length by using a wire stripper, and then bend the naked metal part. Connect the made connector to the grounding post of the grounding strip, and then fasten it with a hex nut, as shown in Figure...
NOTE: If the ground contact in the power outlet is not connected to the ground, report the problem and reconstruct the grounding system. Figure 13 Ground through the PE wire of the AC power supply (1) Three-wire AC power cable (2) Chassis rear panel Grounding the switch with a grounding conductor buried in the earth ground...
Connecting the power cord CAUTION: Before powering on the switch, you must connect the power cord and make sure the switch is well grounded. Follow these steps to connect an AC power cord: Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, and make sure the wrist strap makes good skin contact and is well grounded.
Accessing the switch for the first time Setting up the configuration environment The first time you access the switch you must use a console cable to connect a console terminal, for example, a PC, to the console port on the switch. Figure 16 Connect the console port to a terminal Connecting the console cable Console cable...
Plug the DB-9 female connector of the console cable to the serial port of the PC. Connect the RJ-45 connector to the console port of the switch. WARNING! Identify the mark on the console port to ensure that you are connecting to the correct port. •...

Setting up an IRF fabric You can use HP Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) technology to connect and virtualize 3100-48 v2 switches into a virtual switch called an “IRF fabric” or “IRF virtual device” for flattened network topology, and high availability, scalability, and manageability.
Distribute the IRF member switches in different racks for dispersed access. • NOTE: An IRF fabric can have up to nine 3100-48 v2 switches. As your business grows, you can plug an 3100-48 v2 switch into an IRF fabric to increase the switching capacity without any topology change or replacement.
IRF-port2 on its neighbor switch. The 3100-48 v2 switch can provide IRF connections through the GE Ethernet ports and GE SFP ports, and you can bind several GE ports to an IRF port for increased bandwidth and availability.
When using a combo interface for IRF connection, configure the fiber or copper port of the combo interface as active. For how to configure the combo interface state, see the HP 3100-48 v2 Switch Layer 2—LAN Switching Configuration Guide.

IRF port binding before or after connecting IRF physical ports depending on the software release. Execute the display irf configuration command to verify the basic IRF settings. • For more information about configuring basic IRF settings, see the HP 3100-48 v2 Switch IRF Configuration Guide. Connecting the physical IRF ports Connect IRF member switches with GE Ethernet cables, SFP IRF modules or SFP transceiver modules, and fibers as planned.
Use Telnet, web or SNMP to access the IRF fabric from the network management station. (See the HP 3100-48 v2 Switch Fundamentals Configuration Guide.) Check that you can manage all member switches as if they were one node.
Page 34
To avoid IP address collision and network problems, configure at least one multi-active detection (MAD) mechanism to detect the presence of multiple identical IRF fabrics and handle collisions. For more HP 3100-48 v2 Switch IRF Configuration Guide information about MAD detection, see the...
The operating temperature of the switch is normal, and the power module has good ventilation • (over-temperature can cause a power module to stop working and enter the protection state). NOTE: If the problem persists, contact the HP technical support for help.
Fan failure You can look at the system status LED and the seven-segment LED of a 3100-48 v2 switch to identify a fan failure. If both LEDs are behaving as described in Table 6, a fan failure occurs. Table 6 LED behaviors for fan failure...
