Chapter 1  Product Overview

1.1  Preface

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.

1.2  S5100 Series Ethernet Switches

1.2.1  S5100-26C-EI Ethernet Switch

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.

&  Note:

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.

1.2.2  S5100-50C-EI Ethernet Switch

I. Front panel

An S5100-50C-EI Ethernet switch provides 48 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 1-3 shows the front panel of an S5100-50C-EI Ethernet switch.
