Page 12 If the mounting brackets are in the rear mounting position, align the chassis rails with the screw holes at the front of the side panels (see Figure 8). If the mounting brackets are in the front mounting position, align the chassis rails with the screw holes at the rear of the side panels (see Figure Use M4 screws (supplied with the switch) to fix the chassis rails to the chassis.
Page 13 Figure 9 Attaching the front mounting brackets and the chassis rails to the chassis Installing the mounting brackets, chassis rails, and grounding cable (for the 96G model) The 96G model switch has one front mounting position near the network ports and one rear mounting position near the power supplies.
Page 14 Align the chassis rails with the screw holes at the side panels (see Figure 11 Figure 12). Use M4 screws supplied with the switch to fix the chassis rails to the chassis. Connecting the grounding cable to the switch chassis CAUTION: The primary grounding point and auxiliary grounding point are located on the left side panel.

Page 16 Check that the slide rails have been correctly attached to the rack posts. Install cage nuts (user-supplied) to the front rack posts and make sure they are at the same level as the slide rails. Supporting the bottom of the switch, align the chassis rails with the slide rails on the rack posts, as shown in Figure 14.
Page 17 Rack-mounting the 96G model switch To attach the slide rails to the rack: Identify the rack attachment position for the slide rails. Install cage nuts (user-supplied) in the mounting holes in the rack posts. Align the screw holes in one slide rail with the cage nuts in the rack post on one side, and use screws (user supplied) to fix the slide rail to the rack, as shown in Figure Repeat the preceding steps to attach the other slide rail to the rack post on the other side.
Page 18 Figure 17 Mounting the switch in the rack (I) Figure 18 Mounting the switch in the rack (II) Grounding the switch WARNING! Correctly connecting the switch grounding cable is crucial to lightning protection and EMI protection.
Page 19 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). You must securely connect this chassis ground to the earth so the faradism and leakage electricity can be safely released to the earth to minimize EMI susceptibility of the switch.
Page 20 The ground contact in the power outlet is securely connected to the ground in the power distribution • room or on the AC transformer side. The power cable is securely connected to the power outlet. • Figure 20 Grounding through the PE wire of an AC power cable Installing/removing a fan tray CAUTION: The switches have only one fan tray slot.

Page 22 Figure 22 Installing a fan tray (for the 96G model) Removing a fan tray WARNING! Take out the fan tray after the fans completely stop rotating. To avoid an unbalanced fan causing loud noise, do not touch the fans, even if they are not rotating. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap: make sure it makes good skin contact and is well grounded.

Page 36 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 37 Table 20 Table 21 list the SFP+ transceivers and SFP+ cables available for IRF connections. The following subsections describe several HP recommended IRF connection schemes. All these schemes use a ring topology. IMPORTANT: In these schemes, all physical IRF ports are located on the same side. If physical IRF ports are on...
Page 38 Connecting the IRF member switches in one rack Use short-haul and long-haul SFP+ cables to connect the IRF member switches (four switches in this example) in a rack as shown in Figure 43. The switches in the ring topology (see Figure 44) are in the same order as connected in the rack.
Page 39 Create a Layer 3 interface, assign it an IP address, and make sure that 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 A5830 Switch Series Fundamentals Configuration Guide.) Check that you can manage all member switches as if they were one node.
Page 40 To avoid IP address collision and network problems, configure at least one MAD mechanism to detect the presence of multiple identical IRF fabrics and handle collisions. For more information about MAD HP A5830 Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide detection, see...
