Installing FRUs

As a best practice, connect power cords after installing all required FRUs. To ensure good ventilation,

install filler panels on unused slots.

Long-time exposure to strong air flow might cause discomfort. To avoid this hazard, do not stand

close to the air outlet vents while the switch is operating. If you must be next to the switch on the air

outlet vent side for an extended period, avoid the air flow or take other protective measures.

TIP:

Keep the chassis and the component packages for future use.

Attaching an ESD wrist strap

An S12501X-AF switch does not have an ESD jack and no ESD wrist strap is provided with it.

Prepare an ESD wrist strap for the switch yourself and ground the strap reliably.

The other S12500X-AF switch models each are provided with an ESD wrist strap. To minimize ESD

damage to electronic components, wear the ESD wrist strap and make sure it is reliably grounded

before you install FRUs.

To attach an ESD wrist strap:

1. Make sure the switch is reliably grounded. For information about how to ground your switch,

see "Installing the switch."

2. Put on the wrist strap.

3. Tighten the wrist strap to make sure it makes good skin contact. Make sure the resistance

reading between your body and the ground is between 1 and 10 megohms.

4. As shown in Figure 1, ins

ert the ESD wrist strap into the ESD jack on the chassis.

Installing MPUs

CAUTION:

• If you are not to install an MPU in an MPU slot, keep the filler panel in the slot.

• Before you install an MPU in the chassis, make sure the connectors on the MPU are not broken

or blocked.

• When you install an MPU, avoid damaging the connectors on the MPU.

• To prevent a filler panel from being drawn into the chassis when fan speed is high, use both

hands to grasp the filler panel by its two sides during filler panel installation and removal on an

operating switch.

An S12501X-AF switch does not require MPUs.

Unless otherwise stated, the term "MPU" in this document refers to MPUs and cloud SEUs.

For the compatibility between the switch and the MPUs, see "Appendix B FRUs and compatibility

matrixes."

You can install one MPU, or two MPUs for redundancy on the switch. If you are to install one MPU,

install it in either of the MPU slots.

or blocked.

• To prevent a filler panel from being drawn into the chassis when fan speed is high, use both

hands to grasp the filler panel by its two sides during filler panel installation and removal on an

operating switch.

CAUTION:

To prevent card damage and ensure correct operation, LPUs can only be used with switching fabric

modules of the same type.

• Type T LPUs have a character T in their card identifier (for example, LSXM1CGQ36TD1). Type T

switching fabric modules have a character string of SFT in their card identifier (for example,

LSXM1SFT16E1).

• Type H LPUs have a character of H in their card identifier (for example, LSXM1CGQ36HB1).

Type H switching fabric modules have a character string of SFH in their card identifier (for

example, LSXM1SFH16C1).

• Type F LPUs have a character of F in their card identifier (for example, LSXM1CGP12FX1). Type

F switching fabric modules have a character string of SFF in their card identifier (for example,

LSXM1SFF16C1).

For the compatibility between the switch and the LPUs (also called interface modules), see

"Appendix B FRUs and compatibility matrixes."

The S12501X-AF and S12502X-AF switches support only S12500X-AF Type H LPUs.

Installing S12500-X LPUs

The S12500X-AF switch supports only FX and FE series S12500-X LPUs. To install an S12500-X

LPU on the switch, first install an interface module adapter in the LPU slot.

CAUTION:

For heat dissipation of the switch, you must install an LPU in the slot where an interface module

adapter is installed. If you are not to install an LPU in the slot, remove the interface module adapte

and install a filler panel.

Installing switching fabric modules

CAUTION:

• Before you install a switching fabric module on the switch, make sure the connectors on the

switching fabric module are not damaged or blocked.

• When you install a switching fabric module, avoid damaging the connectors on it.

• Install switching fabric modules or switching fabric module slot filler panels before you install the

fan tray.

• Install filler panels in the empty switching fabric module slots.

• To replace or install a switching fabric module for an operating device, first remove the fan tray

that covers the slot of the switching fabric module. Install the fan tray immediately after the

replacement or installation. After the fan tray starts operating, you can replace or install switching

fabric modules whose slots are covered by the other fan tray.

• The smart speed adjustment feature increases the fan speed when only one fan tray is operating.

Take noise protection measures such as wearing an earmuff or earplug. In addition, make good

preparation before hot swapping a switching fabric module to minimize the operation time.

CAUTION:

The S12516X-AF, S12512X-AF, S12508X-AF, and S12504X-AF switches use slots 18 to 23, 14 to

19, 10 to 15, and 6 to 11 for switching fabric modules, respectively.

• To use an LSXM1TGS24FX1 LPU, the three lowest-numbered switching fabric module slots take

precedence over other slots for module installation. For an LSXM1TGS24FX1 LPU to start up

correctly, install a minimum of one switching fabric modules in the three lowest-numbered

switching fabric module slots.

• To use an LSXM1TGS48C2HB1, LSXM1TGS48HB1, LSXM1TGS48HF1,

LSXM1CGQ6QGHB1, LSXM1CGQ6QGHF1, or LSXM1TGS24QGMODHB1 LPU, the three

highest-numbered switching fabric module slots take precedence over other slots for module

installation. For the LPU to start up correctly, install a minimum of one switching fabric modules in

the three highest-numbered switching fabric module slots.

• To use an LSXM1QGS24HB1, LSXM1QGS36HB1, LSXM1TGS48QGHA1, or

LSXM1TGS24CGMODHD1 LPU, the four highest-numbered switching fabric module slots take

precedence over other slots for module installation. For the LPU to start up correctly, install a

minimum of one switching fabric modules in the four highest-numbered switching fabric module

slots.

CAUTION:

To prevent card damage and ensure correct operation, switching fabric modules can only be used

with LPUs of the same type.

• Type T switching fabric modules have a character string of SFT in their card identifier (for

example, LSXM1SFT16E1). Type T LPUs have a character of T in their card identifier (for

example, LSXM1CGQ36TD1).

• Type H switching fabric modules have a character string of SFH in their card identifier (for

example, LSXM1SFH16C1). Type H LPUs have a character of H in their card identifier (for

example, LSXM1CGQ36HB1).

• Type F switching fabric modules have a character string of SFF in their card identifier (for

example, LSXM1SFF16C1). Type F LPUs have a character of F in their card identifier (for

example, LSXM1CGP12FX1).

The S12501X-AF and S12502X-AF switches do not require switching fabric modules.

For the compatibility between the switch and the switching fabric modules, see "Appendix B FRUs

and compatibility matrixes."

The switch has six vertically-oriented switching fabric module slots at the chassis rear. The switch

comes with all switching fabric module slots empty. You can install two to six switching fabric

modules for the switch. Install switching fabric module slot filler panels in the empty switching fabric

module slots.

1. Place the switching fabric module on a workbench and remove the protection box from the

connector side of the switching fabric module. See Figure 11.

2. Rele

ase the ejector levers by pressing the spring clips.

3. Orient the switching fabric module with the side marked "Up" up. Hold the switching fabric

module front panel near the ejector levers with one hand and support the module bottom with

the other. Place the module bottom on the guide rails at the chassis bottom. Align the switching

fabric module with the target slot and insert it into the slot along the guide rails. See callout 1

in Figure 12.

Keep the mo

dule parallel to the slot to avoid touching other components in the chassis.

4. As shown by callout 2 in Figure 12,

continue to push the switching fabric module until the brakes

on its ejector levers touch the slot edges tightly. Simultaneously rotate the ejector levers inward

until the spring clips lock the ejector levers in place and the switching fabric module is

Installing fan trays

WARNING!

When removing the fan tray, keep your hands and fingers away from the spinning fan blades. Let the

fan blades completely stop before you remove the fan tray.

CAUTION:

• To avoid fan tray damage, use both hands when installing or removing a fan tray.

• To prevent dust from entering the chassis, make sure each fan tray slot has a filler panel or fan

tray installed when the switch is not in use.

CAUTION:

When you hot swap fan trays, follow these guidelines:

• Ensure electricity safety.

• For an S12501X-AF switch, you can hot swap a fan tray only when the other two fan trays are

operating correctly. For the other S12500X-AF switch models, you can hot swap a fan tray only

when the other fan tray is operating correctly.

• When you hot swap a fan tray, the fan speed of the remaining fan trays automatically increases.

Take noise protection measures such as wearing an earmuff or earplug. In addition, make

preparations before hot swapping a fan tray to minimize the operation time.

IMPORTANT:

A fan tray covers switching fabric module slots. Install the switching fabric modules or filler panels in

the switching fabric module slots before installing a fan tray.

An S12501X-AF switch has three fan tray slots and supports 2+1 fan tray redundancy. The other

S12500X-AF switch models each have two fan tray slots. You can install one fan tray, or two fan trays

in 1+1 redundancy for the switch. As a best practice, install a fan tray in each slot for redundancy and

to reduce noises.

Installing fan trays for S12516X-AF, S12512X-AF, and

S12508X-AF switches

IMPORTANT:

The fan tray is high and heavy. To avoid device damage and bodily injury, use two people to install

or remove a fan tray.

To install a fan tray for the S12516X-AF, S12512X-AF, or S12508X-AF switch:

1. Orient the fan tray with the upside up based on the orientation of characters on the fan tray and

align the fan tray with the fan tray slot.

2. Holding the upper fan tray handle with one hand and the lower fan tray handle with the other

hand, insert the fan tray into the slot. Keep the fan tray as straight as possible.

To install a fan tray in FAN1 slot, align the top and left edges of the fan tray in the slot. To install

a fan tray in FAN2 slot, align the top and right edges of the fan tray in the slot.

3. Fasten the captive screws on the fan tray.
