    Preparing for installation HPE 5960 Switch Series is a set of 200G high-density ToR switches designed for high-performance data centers. It provides powerful hardware forwarding capacity and abundant data center features. The switch provides the following ports and removable components: 400G QSFP-DD ports and 200G QSFP56 ports.
  • Page 6: Temperature/Humidity

    • High temperature can accelerate the aging of insulation materials and significantly lower the reliability and lifespan of the switch. For information about the temperature and humidity requirements, see HPE 5960 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.

    Figure2-10 Connecting the grounding cable to the switch Rack-mounting the switch Attaching slide rails to the rack IMPORTANT: M6 screws and cage nuts are used to attach slide rails to the rack. Prepare M6 screws and cage nuts yourself. As a best practice, use a torque of 30 kgf-cm (2.94 Nm) to fasten the M6 screws. Before mounting the switch in the rack, you must attach slide rails to the rack.
  • Page 16 Figure2-11 Installing the 1U slide rails Mounting the switch in the rack Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded. Verify that the mounting brackets and chassis rails have been securely attached to the switch chassis.

    Figure2-12 Mounting the switch in the rack (mounting brackets installed at the port side) Figure2-13 Mounting the switch in the rack (mounting brackets installed at the power supply side) Grounding the switch WARNING! • Correctly connecting the grounding cable is crucial to lightning protection and EMI protection. Make sure you connect the grounding cable for the switch correctly.
  • Page 18: Installing And Removing Fan Trays

    CAUTION: To guarantee the grounding effect, connect the switch to a grounding strip in the equipment room by using the grounding cable provided with the switch. 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 19: Installing A Fan Tray

    The HPE NW CW 5960 400G Prt2Pwr Fan Module (R9Y16A) is available for the switch. For the fan tray specifications, see HPE 5960 Switch Series Hardware Information and Specifications. 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.
  • Page 20: Installing And Removing Power Supplies

    The switch came with power supply slot PSU1 empty and power supply slot PSU2 installed with a filler panel. The HPE NW CW 5960 400G 1600W AC PSU (R9Y18A) is available for the switch. For the power supply specifications, see HPE 5960 Switch Series Hardware Information and Specifications.
  • Page 21 Figure2-19 Removing the filler panel Unpack the power supply and verify that the power supply model is correct. Correctly orient the power supply with the lettering on it upward. Holding the power supply handle with one hand and supporting the power supply bottom with the other, slide the power supply slowly into the slot along the guide rails.
  • Page 22: Removing A Power Supply

    Removing a power supply CAUTION: When the switch has two power supplies operating 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 present, removing the power supply causes power down of the switch. To remove a power supply: Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.
  • Page 23: Connecting Power Cords

    • Before you connect a power cord, make sure the circuit breaker for the power cord is switched off. To connect the AC power cord for an HPE NW CW 5960 400G 1600W AC PSU Insert the female connector of the AC power cord supplied with the power supply into the power receptacle on the power supply.
  • Page 24: Accessing The Switch For The First Time

    Accessing the switch for the first time Connecting the switch to a configuration terminal The switch came with a serial console cable. You can use the serial console cable to connect the serial console port on the switch to a configuration terminal. In Figure3-1, the switch is connected to a configuration terminal (PC as an example) from the serial console port.
  • Page 25: Setting Terminal Parameters

    Figure3-2 Serial console cable Table3-1 Console port signaling and pinout RJ-45 Signal DB-9 Signal To connect the serial console port on the switch to a terminal (for example, a PC): Plug the DB-9 female connector of the serial console cable to the serial port on the PC. Connect the RJ-45 connector to the serial console port on the switch.
  • Page 26 After the startup completes, you can access the CLI to configure the switch. For more information about the configuration commands and CLI, see HPE 5960 Switch Series Configuration Guides and HPE 5960 Switch Series Command References.
  • Page 27: Maintenance And Troubleshooting

    You can determine whether a power supply is faulty by observing the status LED on the power supply. For more information about the status LED on a power supply, see HPE 5960 400G 1600W AC Power Supply (R9Y18A) User Guide.
  • Page 28: Configuration Terminal Display Issues

    Configuration terminal display issues No output Symptom The configuration terminal does not have any output when the switch is powered on. Solution To resolve the issue: Verify that the power system is operating correctly. Verify that the console cable is connected correctly. Verify that the console cable does not have any problems and the terminal settings are correct.
