H3C S5100 Series Ethernet Switches
(hereinafter referred to as the H3C S5100 series) are Gigabit Ethernet
switching products developed by H3C Technology Co., Ltd. The H3C S5100 series
provide a variety of service features. The H3C S5100 series are designed as
convergence and access devices for intranets and metropolitan area networks
(MANs), and can also be used for connecting data center server clusters.

An SFP port and its corresponding
10/100/1000Base-T autosensing Ethernet port form a Combo port. That is, only
one of the two ports forming the Combo port can be used at a time. Table 1-2 shows the mapping relations between the ports forming the Combo port.

I. Front panel
An S5100-26C-EI Ethernet switch provides 24
x 10/100/1000Base-T autosensing Ethernet ports, four 1000Base-X SFP ports, and
one console port on the front panel. An SFP port and its corresponding
10/100/1000Base-T autosensing Ethernet port form a Combo port. That is, only
one of the two ports forming the Combo port can be used at a time. Table 1-2 shows the mapping relations between the ports forming the Combo
port. Figure 1-1 shows the front panel of an S5100-26C-EI Ethernet switch.

Both 10 G interface
slot 1 and 10 G interface slot 2 can be used for XFP interface cards, stack
cards, and XENPAK optical modules.
III. Power supply system
An S5100-26C-EI switch provides AC power
input and RPS DC input. The AC/DC power inputs can be used at the same time,
acting as backup for each other. Alternatively, you can use either the AC power
input alone or the DC power input alone. Make sure you use an RPS module
recommended by H3C as the DC power input.
l
AC input:
Rated voltage range: 100 VAC to 240 VAC; 50
Hz or 60 Hz
Max voltage range: 90 VAC to 264 VAC; 47 Hz
to 63 Hz
l
DC input
Rated voltage range: -48 VDC to -60 VDC
Max voltage range: -36 VDC to -72 VDC
IV. Cooling system
An S5100-26C-EI Ethernet switch provides
two fans for heat dissipation.

autosensing Ethernet port form a Combo port. That is, only one of the two ports
forming the Combo port can be used at a time. Table 1-2 shows the mapping relations between the ports forming the Combo
port. Figure 1-3 shows the front panel of an S5100-50C-EI Ethernet switch.

IV. Cooling system
An S5100-50C-EI Ethernet switch provides three
fans for heat dissipation.
The S5100 series provide a power LED (PWR), a DC power LED (RPS),
Gigabit autosensing Ethernet port status LEDs, a Gigabit SFP port status LED,
an Ethernet port mode LED (MODE), module indicator, and a 7-segment digitron
display.
The PWR LED is a
green-red indicator.
