A wall anchor kit comprises an anchor and a screw, as shown in Figure 51.
Insert an anchor into each hole until the anchor is flush with the wall surface. See Figure Drive a screw into each wall anchor, leaving a gap of at least 1.5 mm (0.06 in) between the base of the screw head and the wall anchor so that the switch can hang on the screws securely. Figure 53 Install a wall anchor Align the two installation holes at the switch bottom with the two screws and hang the switch.

NOTE: The 5120 EI series, 5120-24G-PoE+ SI, and 5120-24G-PPoE+ SI switches come with an OT terminal for connecting to a grounding strip. For other switch models, you must prepare OT terminals yourself. To connect the grounding cable, for example, to a 5120-48G EI (2 slots) switch: Identify the grounding point (with a grounding sign) on the rear panel of the switch chassis, and remove the grounding screw from the grounding point.

Installing/removing an interface card (only for the 5120 EI switches) This section applies to all 5120 EI switches but the 5120-24G EI and 5120-48G EI. For the interface cards available for the switches, see “Interface cards (only for the 5120 EI switches).”...
Figure 68 Install an interface card (II) NOTE: • Put away the removed filler panel for future use. When you tighten the captive screws, the torque must not be higher than 0.4 N-m. • Removing an interface card To remove an interface card: Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is well grounded.
To connect a CX4 or SFP+ cable to a port on a CX4/SFP+ interface card: Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact is well grounded. Correctly orient one connector of the cable with the port and insert the cable connector into the port.

Setting up an IRF fabric You can use HP Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) technology to connect and virtualize 5120 EI switches or 5120 SI switches into a virtual switch called an “IRF fabric” or “IRF virtual device” for flattened network topology, and high availability, scalability, and manageability.
Step Description Plan the installation site and IRF fabric setup parameters: • Planning IRF fabric size and the installation site • Identifying the master switch and planning IRF member IDs Plan IRF fabric setup • Planning IRF topology and connections •...
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.
Figure 79 5120 SI IRF fabric in daisy chain topology Figure 80 5120 SI IRF fabric in ring topology Identifying physical IRF ports on the member switches Identify the physical IRF ports on the member switches according to your topology and connection scheme.
HP recommends that you use Gigabit SFP ports and HP A3600 Switch SFP Stacking Kit cables for IRF connection. 5120 SI switches...
Page 63
If 2-port interface cards are used and IRF links are aggregate, follow these guidelines on connecting two neighboring switches: • The ports on the interface card MOD 1 on one switch must connect to the ports on the interface card MOD 2 on the other switch.
Planning the cabling scheme for a 5120 SI IRF fabric HP recommends that you use Gigabit SFP ports and HP A3600 Switch SFP Stacking Kit cables for IRF connection. Figure 84 shows two IRF connection schemes and uses Gigabit SFP ports and HP A3600 Switch SFP Stacking Kit cables for IRF connection.
Execute the irf-port-configuration active command to activate the IRF port configuration. • • Execute the display irf configuration command to verify the basic IRF settings. For more information about configuring basic IRF settings, see the IRF configuration guide for your switch. Connecting the physical IRF ports Connect the IRF member switches as planned.
Boot ROM password loss Contact the HP technical support for help. Power supply failure The 5120 EI switches and the 5120 SI switches use fixed power supplies. All 5120 EI switches and the 5120-24G-PoE+ SI switch support three power input modes: AC input, RPS DC input, and concurrent AC and RPS DC inputs.
