Preparing for installation
Safety recommendations
To avoid any equipment damage or bodily injury caused by improper use, read the following safety
recommendations before installation. Note that the recommendations do not cover every possible
hazardous condition.
•
Before cleaning the switch, unplug all power cords from the switch. Do not clean the switch with wet
cloth or liquid.
•
Do not place the switch near water or in a damp environment. Prevent water or moisture from
entering the switch chassis.
•
Do not place the switch on an unstable case or desk. The switch might be severely damaged in case
of a fall.
•
Ensure proper ventilation of the equipment room and keep the air inlet and outlet vents of the switch
free of obstruction.
•
Connect the yellow-green protection grounding cable before power-on.
•
Make sure that the operating voltage is in the required range.
•
To avoid electrical shocks, do not open the chassis while the switch is operating or when the switch
is just powered off.
•
When replacing FRUs, including interface cards and power supplies, wear an ESD-preventive wrist
strap to avoid damaging the units.
Examining the installation site
The 5500 HI switches must be used indoors. You can mount your switch in a rack or on a workbench, but
make sure:
•
Adequate clearance is reserved at the air inlet and exhaust vents for ventilation.
•
The rack or workbench has a good ventilation system.
•
Identify the hot aisle and cold aisle at the installation site, and make sure that ambient air flows into
the switch from the cold aisle and exhausts to the hot aisle.
•
Identify the airflow designs of neighboring devices, and prevent hot air flowing out of the bottom
device from entering the top device.
•
The rack is sturdy enough to support the switch and its accessories.
•
The rack or workbench is well earthed.
To ensure normal operation and long service life of your switch, install it in an environment that meets the
requirements described in the following subsections.
Temperature/humidity
Maintain appropriate temperature and humidity in the equipment room.
•
Lasting high relative humidity can cause poor insulation, electricity creepage, mechanical property
change of materials, and metal corrosion.
7
•
Lasting low relative humidity can cause washer contraction and ESD and bring problems including
loose captive screws and circuit failure.
•
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. In the worst case,
electrostatic adsorption can cause communication failure.
Table 2 Dust concentration limit in the equipment room
Substance
Concentration limit (particles/m³)
Dust
≤ 3 x 104 (no visible dust on the tabletop over three days)
NOTE:

EMI
All electromagnetic interference (EMI) sources, from outside or inside of the switch and application
system, adversely affect the switch in a conduction pattern of capacitance coupling, inductance coupling,
electromagnetic wave radiation, or common impedance (including the grounding system) coupling. To
prevent EMI, take the following actions:
•
If AC power is used, use a single-phase three-wire power receptacle with protection earth (PE) to
filter interference from the power grid.
•
Keep the switch far away from radio transmitting stations, radar stations, and high-frequency
devices.
•
Use electromagnetic shielding, for example, shielded interface cables, when necessary.
•
Route interface cables only indoors to prevent signal ports from getting damaged by overvoltage or
overcurrent caused by lightning strikes.
Laser safety
The 5500 HI switches are Class 1 laser devices.

Grounding the switch
WARNING!
Correctly connecting the switch grounding cable is crucial to lightning protection and EMI protection.
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.
You can ground the switch in one of the following ways, depending on the grounding conditions
available at the installation site:
•
Grounding the switch with a grounding strip
•
Grounding the switch with a grounding conductor buried in the earth ground
•
Grounding the switch by using the AC power cord
NOTE:
The power and grounding terminals in this section are for illustration only.
Grounding the switch with a grounding strip
WARNING!
Connect the grounding cable to the grounding system in the equipment room. Do not connect it to a fire
main or lightning rod.
If a grounding strip is available at the installation site, connect the grounding cable to the grounding
strip.
To connect the rear grounding point to a grounding strip:
1.
Remove the grounding screw from the rear panel of the switch chassis.
2.
Attach the grounding screw to the ring terminal of the grounding cable.
3.
Use a screwdriver to fasten the grounding screw into the grounding screw hole.
IMPORTANT:
Orient the grounding cable as shown in Figure 23 so you can easily install or remove power supplies.

The installation and removal procedures for the CX4 cable and the SFP+ cable are the same. This section
uses the SFP+ cable as an example.
The CX4 and SFP+ cables for this switch series are hot swappable.
Installing a CX4/SFP+ cable
CAUTION:
The bend radius for a cable must be at least eight times the cable diameter.
To connect a CX4 or SFP+ cable to a port on a CX4/SFP+ interface card:
30
1.
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is well
grounded. Then unpack the dedicated SFP+ cable.
2.
Hold the connector at one end of the cable, with the pull latch on top.
3.
Orient the connector with the port and insert it into the port.
Removing a CX4/SFP+ cable

1.
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is well
grounded.
2.
Hold the cable connector and pull the pull latch of the connector to remove the cable from the
switch.
Verifying the installation
After you complete the installation, verify that:
•
There is enough space for heat dissipation around the switch, and the rack or workbench is stable.
•
The grounding cable is securely connected.
•
The correct power source is used.
•
The power cords are properly connected.
•
All the interface cables are cabled indoors. If any cable is routed outdoors, verify that the socket
strip with lightning protection has been properly connected.

The power cord is properly connected.
•
The input power voltage meets the requirement of the switch.
•
The console cable is properly connected, the terminal or PC used for configuration has started, and
the configuration parameters have been set.
Power on the switch. During the startup process, you can access Boot ROM menus to perform tasks such
as software upgrade and file management. The Boot ROM interface and menu options differ with
software versions. For more information about Boot ROM menu options, see the software-matching
release notes for the device.
After the startup completes, you can access the CLI to configure the switch.
NOTE:
For more information about the configuration commands and CLI, see HP 5500 HI Switch Series
Configuration Guides and HP 5500 HI Switch Series Command References.

Setting up an IRF fabric
You can use HP Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) technology to connect and virtualize HP 5500 HI
switches into a virtual switch called an "IRF fabric" or "IRF virtual device" for flattened network topology,
and high availability, scalability, and manageability.
IMPORTANT:
To set up IRF connection between 5500 HI switches, you must use 10-Gigabit ports.

See "Installing/removing an interface card."
6. Configure basic IRF settings
See HP 5500 HI Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide.
Connect the physical IRF ports on the switches.
• Use CX4 cables to connect CX4 ports over a short distance.
• Use XFP transceiver modules and fibers to connect XFP ports over
a long distance.
7. Connect the physical IRF ports
• Use SFP+ transceiver modules and fibers to connect SFP+ ports
over a long distance, or use SFP+ cables to connect SFP+ ports
over a short distance.
All switches except the master switch automatically reboot, and the
IRF fabric is established.
Planning IRF fabric setup
This section describes issues that an IRF fabric setup plan must cover.
Planning IRF fabric size and the installation site
Identify the number of required IRF member switches, depending on the user density and upstream
bandwidth requirements. The switching capacity of an IRF fabric equals the total switching capacities of
all member switches.
Plan the installation site depending on your network solution, as follows:
•
Place all IRF member switches in one rack for centralized high-density access.
•
Distribute the IRF member switches in different racks for dispersed access.
NOTE:
A 5500 HI IRF fabric can have up to nine switches. As your business grows, you can plug a 5500 HI switch
into an IRF fabric to increase the switching capacity without any topology change or replacement.
38
Identifying the master switch and planning IRF member IDs
Determine which switch you want to use as the master for managing all member switches in the IRF fabric.
An IRF fabric has only one master switch. You configure and manage all member switches in the IRF
fabric at the command line interface of the master switch.
NOTE:
IRF member switches will automatically elect a master. You can affect the election result by assigning a
high member priority to the intended master switch. For more information about master election, see HP
5500 HI Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide.
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. Rather, the IRF
fabric changes to a daisy chain topology without interrupting network services.
You connect the IRF member switches through IRF ports, the logical interfaces for the connections
between IRF member switches. Each IRF member switch has two IRF ports: IRF-port 1 and IRF-port 2. To
use an IRF port, you must bind at least one physical port to it.
When connecting two neighboring IRF member switches, you must connect the physical ports of IRF-port
1 on one switch to the physical ports of IRF-port 2 on the other switch.
The 5500 HI switches can provide 10-GE IRF connections through the SFP+ ports on the front panel and
the CX4, XFP, or SFP+ interface card at the rear of the chassis, and you can bind several CX4, XFP, or
SFP+ ports to an IRF port for increased bandwidth and availability.
NOTE:
• Figure 52 and Figure 53 show the topologies for an IRF fabric made up of three 5500-24G-4SFP HI
(2 slots) switches that have two 2-port 10 GE SFP+ interface cards for IRF connections.
• The IRF port connections in the two figures are for illustration only, and more connection methods are
available.
• For information about the physical ports available for IRF connections on different 5500 HI switches,
see Table 6.

Planning the cabling scheme
Use CX4/SFP+ cables or SFP+/XFP transceiver modules and fibers to connect the IRF member switches.
If the IRF member switches are far away from one another, choose the SFP+ or XFP transceiver modules
with optical fibers. If the IRF member switches are all in one equipment room, choose CX4 or SFP+
cables.
For the transceiver modules and cables available for IRF connections, see "10 Gbps SFP+ transceiver
modules/SFP+ cables," "10 Gbps XFP transceiver modules," and "CX4 cables".
The following subsections describe several HP recommended IRF connection schemes, and 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 different
sides, you must measure the distance between them to select an appropriate cable.
Connecting the IRF member switches in one rack
Use short-haul and long-haul CX4/SFP+ cables to connect the IRF member switches (nine switches in this
example) in a rack as shown in Figure 54. The switches in the ring topology (see Figure 55) are in the
same order as connected in the rack.
41
Figure 54 Connecting the switches in the same rack
Figure 55 IRF fabric topology
42
Connecting the IRF member switches in a ToR solution
You can install IRF member switches in different racks side by side to deploy a top of rack (ToR)
solution. Figure 56 shows an example for connecting nine top of rack IRF member switches by using SFP+
transceiver modules and optical fibers. The topology is the same as Figure 55.
Figure 56 Connecting top of rack switches
Configuring basic IRF settings
After you install the IRF member switches, power on the switches, and log in to each IRF member switch
(see HP 5500 HI Switch Series Fundamentals Configuration Guide) to configure their member IDs,
member priorities, and IRF port bindings.
Follow these guidelines when you configure the switches:
•
Assign the master switch higher member priority than any other switch.
•
Bind physical ports to IRF port 1 on one switch and to IRF port 2 on the other switch.
•
To bind the ports on an interface card to an IRF port, you must install the interface card first. For how
to install an interface card, see "Installing/removing an interface card."
•
Execute the display irf configuration command to verify the basic IRF settings.
For more information about configuring basic IRF settings, see HP 5500 HI Switch Series IRF
Configuration Guide.
Connecting the physical IRF ports
Use CX4/SFP+ cables or XFP/SFP+ transceiver modules and fibers to connect the IRF member switches
as planned.
NOTE:
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap when you connect CX4/SFP+ cables or SFP+/XFP transceiver
modules and fibers. For how to connect them, see SFP/SFP+/XFP Transceiver Modules Installation Guide
and "Installing/removing a CX4/SFP+ cable."
Accessing the IRF fabric to verify the configuration
To verify the basic functionality of the IRF fabric after you finish configuring basic IRF settings and
connecting IRF ports:
1.
Log in to the IRF fabric through the console port of any member switch.
2.
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.
43
3.
Use Telnet, web, or SNMP to access the IRF fabric from the network management station. (See HP
5500 HI Switch Series Fundamentals Configuration Guide.)
4.
Check that you can manage all member switches as if they were one node.
5.
Display the running status of the IRF fabric by using the commands in Table 7.

NOTE:
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
information about MAD detection, see HP 5500 HI Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide.
44
Maintenance and troubleshooting
Power supply failure
Look at the PWR1 or PWR2 LED of the switch to identify a power supply failure. For more information
about the PWR1 and PWR2 LEDs on the front panel of the switch, see Table 15.
If the power supply system is correctly working, the power supply status LEDs are steady green. If the LEDs
behave in any other way, verify the following items:
•
The switch power cord is properly connected.
•
The power source meets the requirement.
•
The operating temperature of the switch is in the normal range and the power supply has good
ventilation.
NOTE:
If the problem persists, contact HP for help.
To replace a hot swappable power supply, see "Installing/removing a power supply."
Fan failure
Look at the system status LED and the seven-segment LED of a 5500 HI switch to identify a fan failure. If
both LEDs are behaving as described in Table 8, a fan failure occurs.
Table 8 LED behaviors that identify a fan failure

The 5500 HI Switch Series uses fixed fans. If a fan failure occurs, promptly contact HP for help and do
not attempt to fix the problem yourself or continue to run the switch.
Configuration terminal problems
If the configuration environment setup is correct, the configuration terminal displays booting information
when the switch is powered on. If the setup is incorrect, the configuration terminal displays nothing or
garbled text.
No terminal display
If the configuration terminal displays nothing when the switch is powered on, verify the following items:
•
The power supply is supplying power to the switch.
45
•
The console cable is properly connected.
•
The console cable has no problem and the terminal settings are correct.
Garbled terminal display
If terminal display is garbled, verify that the following settings are configured for the terminal, for
example, HyperTerminal:
•
Baud rate—9,600
•
Data bits—8
•

Cooling system
The cooling system of the 5500 HI switch comprises the air vents in the chassis, fixed fans, and built-in
fans of power supplies. To guarantee the performance of this cooling system, you must consider the
ventilation design for the installation site when you plan the installation site for the 5500 HI switch.
The 5500 HI switch uses fixed fans and left-right aisles for air ventilation. Ambient air flows in through the
air vents at the left side of chassis (the direction subject to the user facing the front panel of the chassis),
circulates through the chassis and the power supplies, and exhausts at the right side of the chassis and
the air outlet vents of the power supplies. The chassis and power supplies use independent aisles, which
must be kept clear when the switch is operating.
For different switch models, design the cooling system as follows:

The PSR720-56A, PSR1110-56A, PSR150-A1, and PSR150-D1 switches support asset management, but
the PSR150-A and PSR150-D do not. If you install a power supply supporting asset management, you can
use the display device manuinfo command to view the device name, sequence number, MAC address,
and vendor of the power supply.
For the 5500-24G-4SFP HI (2 slots), 5500-48G-4SFP HI (2 slots), 5500-24G-SFP HI (2 slots), or
5500-24G-SFP HI TAA (2 slots) switch, one power supply can satisfy the normal operation of the switch,
and two power supplies can implement 1 + 1 redundant backup. You can install one AC power supply
and one DC power supply at the same time.
For the 5500-24G-PoE+-4SFP HI (2 slots), 5500-24G-PoE+-4SFP HI TAA (2 slots), 5500-48G-PoE+-4SFP
HI (2 slots), or 5500-48G-PoE+-4SFP HI TAA (2 slots) switch, you can install one power supply, or for
redundancy, two power supplies. Different power supply configurations have different PoE power. For
more information, see Table 10.
