6600 series system overview

The HP ProCurve 6600 Switch Series was designed to be co-located with data center servers for both top-of-
rack edge access and end-of-row aggregation and distribution deployment models . To support high availability
in a 1U form factor, all 6600 series products allow for redundant hot-swappable power supply options, hot-
swappable fan tray, and front-to-back (reversible) airflow, along with out-of-band Ethernet management ports .
These are key capabilities that separate the 6600 series from other competitive products as well as other
products in the HP networking portfolio and position it well for data center top-of-rack and end-of-row designs .
To allow seamless core-to-edge deployment with HP networking products, the 6600 series shares the same
software and hardware building blocks as the 8200zl, 5400zl, 6200yl, and 3500yl products, thus reducing
complexity and operating expense .
The base configuration for the 6600 series as shipped from the factory includes the following:
• 1 system fan tray (J9271A)
− The 6600 ships as a back-to-front direction for ports-rearward installation, but the fan tray is mechanically
reversible to support front-to-back (ports-forward) airflow when positioned as an end-of-row aggregation/
distribution switch .
• 1 power supply (J9269A)
− The 6600 series has two power supply bays to support power redundancy .
− The power supplies are hot-swappable and allow for tool-less serviceability .
− The 6600 power supplies leverage the 1200 W ProLiant G6 "common-slot" supply to simplify sparing .
• Rack ears for mounting in a two-post telco rack
− For mounting in a four-post network/server rack, the 6600 rack mount kit (J9469A) that includes telescoping
rails is highly recommended .
• AC power cords
− The system ships with two AC power cords: one is the standard HP line cord using a C13 connector on the
power supply side and a country plug on the source end, while the other is a power distribution unit (PDU)
jumper cord with a C13 connector on the power supply side and a PDU plug on the source end . With either
option, the AC source is: 100 to 120 VAC/200 to 240 VAC; 7 .5 A/3 .75 A; 50/60 Hz .

Chassis layout

The 6600 switch series are high-density, 1U form factor switches . Figure 2 details the power supply side view
of the 6600 series products .

The 6600 fan tray and power supplies are all hot-swappable so that the switch does not have to be powered
off to remove these serviceable components .
