Chapter 1 Product Overview
1.1 Introduction
The S9500 Series Routing Switches (hereinafter referred to as the S9500 series) are
developed by Hangzhou H3C Technologies Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as H3C)
for use on business-oriented enterprise networks, the distribution layer of large MANs,
the core layer of small MANs, and the backbone of large enterprise networks and
campus networks. They can serve as switching cores and convergence centers.
Currently, the S9500 series consist of the following models:
z S9502: This model provides a switching capacity of up to 240 Gbps. It allows for
the concurrent wire-speed forwarding on 96 GE ports, or 8 × 10 GE ports, or 144
FE electrical ports, or 60 FE optical ports.
z S9505: This model provides a switching capacity of up to 600 Gbps. It allows for
the concurrent wire-speed forwarding on 240 GE ports, 20 × 10GE ports, 240 FE
electrical ports, or 100 FE optical ports.
z S9508: This model provides a switching capacity of up to 960 Gbps. It allows for
the concurrent wire-speed forwarding on 384 GE ports, 32 × 10GE ports, 384 FE
electrical ports, or 160 FE optical ports.
z S9508V: This model provides a switching capacity of up to 960 Gbps. It allow for
the concurrent wire-speed forwarding on 384 GE ports, 32 × 10GE ports, 384 FE
electrical ports, or 160 FE optical ports. This model adopts upright slots.
z S9512: This model provides a switching capacity of up to 1.44 Tbps. It allows for
the concurrent wire-speed forwarding on 576 GE ports, 48 × 10GE ports, 576 FE
electrical ports, or 240 FE optical ports.
Note:
Unless otherwise specified in this document, the S9508V and the S9508 have the
same configuration.
1.2 Physical Structure
The S9500 series use integrated chassis, which consists of a power area, board area,
backplane, and fan area.
