    WARNING! Correctly connecting the switch grounding cable is crucial to lightning protection and EMI protection. The power and grounding terminals in this section are for illustration only. 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).

    CAUTION: To prevent damage to the power supply or the connector on the backplane of the powered device, insert • the power supply gently. If you encounter a hard resistance while inserting the power supply, pull out the power supply and then insert it again. If the captive screw cannot be tightly secured, verify the installation of the power supply.
  • Page 23: Connecting The Power Cord

    Loosen the captive screws of the power supply with a Philips screwdriver until they are completely disengaged. Grasp the handle of the power supply with one hand and pull it out a little, support the bottom with the other hand, and pull the power supply slowly along the guide rails out of the slot. NOTE: Put away the removed power supply in an antistatic bag for future use.

  • Page 34: Setting Up An Irf Fabric

    Setting up an IRF fabric You can use HP Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) technology to connect and virtualize 5500 EI switches or 5500 SI switches into a virtual switch called an "IRF fabric" or "IRF virtual device" for flattened network topology, and high availability, scalability, and manageability. NOTE: An IRF fabric cannot have both 5500 EI and 5500 SI switches.
  • Page 35: Planning Irf Fabric Setup

  • Page 36: Planning Irf Topology And Connections

    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: Identifying Physical Irf Ports On The Member Switches

    Identifying physical IRF ports on the member switches Only the 10-GE ports on the IRF-capable interface cards listed in "Interface cards" can provide IRF connections for the 5500 EI and 5500 SI switches. To use the IRF feature, you must order the cards separately.
  • Page 38: Configuring Basic Irf Settings

    Figure 35 Use 2-port interface cards to set up multi-link IRF connection If both of the neighboring switches use 1-port interface cards, the port on MOD 1 on one switch • must connect to the port on MOD 2 on the other switch (see callout 1 in Figure 36).
  • Page 39: Connecting The Physical Irf Ports

    For more information about configuring basic IRF settings, see HP 5500 EI & 5500 SI Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide. Connecting the physical IRF ports Connect the IRF member switches as planned. NOTE: Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap when you connect the physical IRF ports.

    Maintenance and troubleshooting Power supply failure Built-in power supply failure Except the 5500-24G-SFP EI (2 slots) and 5500-24G-SFP EI TAA (2 slots) switches, all 5500 EI and 5500 SI switches use built-in power supplies and support three input modes: AC input, RPS DC input, and concurrent AC and RPS DC inputs.
  • Page 41: Hot Swappable Power Supply Failure

    If the system status LED is on but the RPS status LED is steady yellow, an AC input failure has occurred. Verify the following items: TThe AC power cord is securely connected to the switch, and the AC-input power receptacle on the switch and the connected AC power outlet are in good condition.
  • Page 42: Configuration Terminal Problems

    The 5500 EI and 5500 SI switches use built-in fans. If a fan failure occurs, contact the HP technical support for help and do not attempt to fix the problem yourself. Configuration terminal problems If the configuration environment setup is correct, the configuration terminal displays booting information when the switch is powered on.
