To avoid personal injury or device damage, read the following safety information carefully before you operate the device. Safety precautions in actual operation include but are not limited to safety information mentioned in this document.

General operating safety

· Only H3C authorized or professional engineers are allowed to operate the device.

· Keep the device clean and dust-free. Do not place it in a humid place or allow liquids to enter it.

· Before powering on the device, make sure the blade enclosure is securely grounded.

· To maintain sufficient heat dissipation, use blanks on idle slots.

Electrical safety

· Carefully check any potential hazards in the work area, for example, whether the ground is wet and whether the blade enclosure is grounded or reliably grounded.

· Do not work alone when performing live-line maintenance.

· Do not touch the power supply directly or indirectly through conductive objects to prevent electric shock.

Safety precautions

· When maintaining the device, place the device on a clean, stable table or floor.

· To avoid personal injury from hot surfaces or internal components, make sure the device and its internal components have cooled off before maintenance.

· When using tools to maintain the device, follow the correct operation methods to avoid damage to the personnel or device.

· When connecting, testing or replacing optical fibers, do not look directly into the optical fiber outlet to prevent the laser beam from hurting your eyes.

· Gently and slowly transport or place the device with force evenly distributed.

ESD prevention

Preventing electrostatic discharge

Electrostatic charges that build up on people and conductors damage or shorten the lifespan of the main board and electrostatic-sensitive components.

To prevent electrostatic damage, follow these guidelines:

· Transport or store the device in an ESD package.

· Place the device on a grounded table before taking it out of the ESD package.

· Avoid touching pins or circuitry of the device without taking any ESD prevention measures.

Grounding methods to prevent electrostatic discharge

When removing or installing the device, you can use one or multiple of the following grounding methods to prevent electrostatic discharge:

· Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it is reliably grounded. Make sure that the ESD wrist strap makes good skin contact and can be flexibly stretched out and drawn back.

· In the work areas, wear ESD clothing and shoes.

· Use conductive field service tools.

· Use a portable field service kit with a folding ESD tool mat.

Overview of BX1020EF converged network switch module

IMPORTANT:

· Hardware images shown in this manual are for illustration only. The actual product may vary.

· The software UI may be updated from time to time. Please refer to the actual product UI.

· ICM modules supported by the blade enclosure are classified into switch modules and straight-through modules (also known as cascading modules in some manuals). BX1020EF is a type of switch module. Both ICM and switch modules mentioned in this document refer to BX1020EF.

Product overview

As a converged network switching control unit inside the blade enclosure, the H3C UniServer BX1020EF switch module provides data switching functions for blade servers installed in the blade enclosure and centrally provides external data ports, to achieve the communication between blade servers and external networks. External ports include Ethernet ports and FC ports.

Figure 1 shows the appearance of BX1020EF.

Figure 1 Appearance

Reliability

Device redundancy

The blade enclosure can accommodate up to six switch modules. For specific positions, see Figure 2. Among them, switch modules in slot 1 and slot 4, switch modules in slot 2 and slot 5, and switch modules in slot 3 and slot 6 are mutually interconnected through their internal interfaces. Each of the three pairs can function as a switching plane. You can configure these pairs of switch modules in active/standby mode according to service requirements.

(4) ICM4 slot	(5) ICM5 slot	(6) ICM6 slot

Link redundancy

The switch modules internally connect to blade servers through the mid-plane, and provide uplink interfaces for the blade servers through the external interfaces of the switch modules. The switch modules can connect to a blade server through two internal interfaces, which function in active/standby mode to ensure the reliability of internal links.

Port

This section describes numbering rules, positions, quantity, and other information about the ports of the switch module.

Port numbering rules

Ports of the switch module are numbered in three dimensions: A, B, and C.

· A: Indicates the number of the IRF member device. Since the switch module does not have any IRF by default, the default value of A is 1. Note that devices with the same member device number cannot form an IRF. When creating an IRF, you can run the irf member renumber command to modify the IRF member device number.

· B: Indicates an internal or external port. 0 indicates an internal port, and 1 indicates an external port.

· C: Indicates the sequence number of the port.

External ports

Figure 3 shows the external ports provided by the switch module. Table 2 describes specific functions of the external ports.

By default, the port works as an Ethernet port. The default rate of the Ethernet port is 25 Gbps, and that of the FC port is 16 Gbps. · Port switching is conducted in the unit of groups. You can uniformly switch a group of ports from Ethernet ports to FC ports or from FC ports to Ethernet ports from the ICM CLI. For specific switching methods, see "Converged port type switching." · After ports are switched to FC ports, splitting and combination are supported. For specific methods, see "Splitting and combining FC converged ports."

NOTE:

· As a best practice, use H3C SFP/SFP+ modules on the switch module.

· For specifications of transceiver modules or cables, see H3C Transceiver Modules User Guide.

· The types of H3C SFP/SFP+ modules may change over time. If you need accurate information about module types, consult H3C marketing or technical support personnel.

· When installing transceiver modules and cables, wear ESD wrist straps. For installation methods and precautions, see H3C Transceiver Modules and Network Cable Installation Guide.

Converged port type switching

Switching from an Ethernet port to an FC port

· The device puts eight converged ports into two groups, the first four ports in one group and the last four ports in the other group. For specific positions of the converged ports, see "External ports." You can run the port-type fc command in the view of any Ethernet port in a group to switch the group of Ethernet ports to FC ports.

Prerequisites

· The switch module has been powered on. For details, see "Powering on the switch module."

· You have logged in to the switch module. For details, see "Logging in to the switch module."

Switching from an FC port to an Ethernet port

The device puts eight converged ports into two groups, the first four ports in one group and the last four ports in the other group. For specific positions of the converged ports, see "External ports." You can run the port-type ethernet command in the view of any FC port in a group to switch the group of FC ports to Ethernet ports.

NOTE:

When switching an FC port to an Ethernet port, make sure the FC port is a 16G FC port.

Splitting and combining FC converged ports

A group of FC converged ports can be used as four 16G FC ports for independent use. The four ports can also be combined into two 32G FC ports. Note that after the first four ports are combined into a group, they form two 32G FC ports: FC1/1/3 and FC1/1/4; after the last four ports are combined into a group, they form two 32G FC ports: FC1/1/5 and FC1/1/6.

· You can run the using thirty-twogigfc command in the view of any FC port of a group to combine the four 16G FC ports of the group into two 32G FC ports.

· You can run the using sixteengigfc command in the view of any FC port of a group to split the two 32G FC ports of the group into four 16G FC ports.

Prerequisites

· The switch module has been powered on. For details, see "Powering on the switch module."

· You have logged in to the switch module. For details, see "Logging in to the switch module."
