1 Product Overview

Overview

The H3C S12500 series routing switches (hereinafter referred to as the S12500 series) are

new-generation core routing switches developed by Hangzhou H3C Technologies Co., Ltd. (hereinafter

referred to as H3C) based on its 100 G platform.

The S12500 series adopt the most advanced multi-level, multi-plane non-blocking switching

architecture, support ultra-high port density, and provide multiple interface types, such as 10 GE XFP

optical interface, GE SFP optical interface, and 10/100/1000 Mbps electrical interface, and adopt the

innovative open application architecture (OAA). A future release of the S12500 series is planned to

support value-added security services, such as intrusion prevention system (IPS), firewall, IPSec, and

distributed denial of service (DDoS), to meet the requirements of intelligent IP networks.

The S12500 series are mainly deployed:

z core layer and distribution layer of large-scale data centers

z core layer of large-scale industry networks and campus networks

z large clusters and grid computing

The S12500 series include these models:

z S12508

The S12508 provides eight line processing unit (LPU) slots, two main processing unit slots, and nine

switching fabric module slots.

z S12518

The S12518 provides eighteen LPU slots, two main processing unit (MPU) slots, and nine switching

fabric module slots.

In this manual, hardware configurations and installation of the S12508 and the S12518 are the same

unless otherwise specified.

General Architecture

The S12500 series use an integrated chassis, which consists of a backplane section, power supply

section, fan section, board section, and air filter section.

z The chassis top provides one power frame to accommodate up to six PSUs.

z The rear of the chassis has two fan trays into which fans can be inserted horizontally. The fan on

top exhausts warm air and the one below it draws in fresh air.

z The rear of the chassis has two fan trays into which fans can be inserted horizontally. The fan on

top exhausts air and the one below it draws in fresh air.

Backplane

The backplane of an S12500 switch is located in the integrated chassis. It implements high-speed data

interconnection between switching fabric modules and LPUs, and system management and control

signal exchange between MPUs and LPUs and switching fabric modules. The backplane mainly

implements these functions:

z Provides communication channels for signal exchange between boards.

z Supports hot-swapping of boards.

1-6

z Auto-detects types of boards in slots.

z Connects with power frames to provide distributed power supply for MPUs, LPUs, switching fabric

modules, fan trays, and PSUs, and to provide monitoring channels.

Power Supply System

AC power frame

The power supply system is at the chassis top behind the front panel of the power frame. It adopts the

space multiplexing technique to allow for flexible configuration of PSUs as needed.

An S12508 switch is configured with one AC power frame. An S12518 switch is configured with two AC

power frames.

Fan Tray

Both the S12508 and the S12518 have two fan trays (one on top of the other) to provide the following

functions:

z Load balancing and 1 + 1 redundancy for effective heat dissipation and single-point failure

prevention.

z Status monitoring: Fan rotation speed monitoring, fault alarms, and so on.

z Automatic speed adjustment: Supports to adjust the fan rotation speed automatically according to

the operation situation of the device. The speed of each fan group (four fan groups, each having

three fans) is controlled to reduce noises and energy consumption effectively.

z Information indication: Two indicators on the front panel of a fan tray provide the fan tray operating

information.

A fan tray consists of 12 fan units measuring 120 × 120 × 38 mm (4.72 × 4.72 ×1.50 in.) and one fan

monitoring board. Fans receive DC power from the backplane. Fan trays are hot-swappable.

z The power of an S12508 fan tray ranges from 25W to 130 W.

z The power of an S12518 fan tray ranges from 120W to 650 W.

The S12508 and S12518 use different fan trays and do not support the intermixing of different fan trays.

The appearance and indicators of the S12518 fan tray are similar to those of the S12508. The following

uses the S12508 fan tray as an example.
