H3C S9500 Series Routing Switches (hereinafter
referred to as S9500 series) are orientated to operate at the convergence layer
of a large MAN, or at the core layer of a small MAN, or at the backbone of a large
enterprise network or a campus network. They serve as the Layer 3 devices in
the switching center and convergence center. S9500 series provide 10GE ports,
redundant power systems and redundant SRPU modules, to address multiservice,
high-reliability and large-capacity needs from high-end users.
The S9500 series currently include three
models:
l
S9502: This model provides up to 240 Gbps
switching capacity. It allows (for example) the concurrent wire-speed
forwarding on 144 GE ports, 8 x 10GE ports, 144 FE electrical ports, or 60 FE
optical ports.

Figure 1-1 H3C S9502
l
S9505: provides up to 300 Gbps switching
capacity and allows the concurrent wirespeed forwarding on 240 GE ports, or 20 10GE ports, or
240 FE electrical ports, or 100 FE optical ports.

Figure 1-2 H3C S9505
l
S9508: provides up to 480 Gbps switching
capacity and allows the concurrent wirespeed forwarding on 384 GE ports, or 32 10GE ports, or
384 FE electrical ports, or 160 FE optical ports.

Figure 1-3 H3C S9508
l
S9512: provides up to 720 Gbps switching
capacity and allows the concurrent wirespeed forwarding on 576 GE ports, or 48 10GE ports, or
576 FE electrical ports, or 240 FE optical ports.

Figure 1-4 H3C S9512
The S9500 series use integrated chassis,
which can be subdivided into power supply area, board area, backplane and fan
area.
I. For S9502

Figure 1-5 S9502 slots
l
The S9502 chassis provides four slots in its
board area: from up to down, the first one accommodates an SRPU (switching and
routing processor unit), the second one accommodates an SRPU or an LPU (line
processor unit), and the remaining two slots accommodate LPU/SPC (service
processor card) modules, which you can select from various available LPUs and
SPCs. If an SRPU is contained in the second slot, the two SRPUs in the first
and the second slots can operate in 1+1 redundancy mode. All modules in this
area are hot-swappable.
l
At the bottom of the chassis is the power area
that contains two PSUs (power supply units). The two PSUs are online-swappable;
they can operate in 1+1 redundancy mode. The switch supports both AC and DC
power inputs. So you can select AC/DC PSUs as needed. The S9502 supports PoE,
and uses a PoE filter at the rear of the chassis to import power from an
external PoE power supply.
l
On the right of the chassis is the fan area that
contains a vertical hot-swappable fan tray. The fan tray draws and exhausts air
from left to right.
The two PSUs are
online-swappable, which means you can use one PSU to supply power to the whole
switch while changing the other PSU. But before removing or inserting a PSU,
you must first power off it.
II. For S9505

Figure 1-6 S9505
slots
All modules in the cabinet are
hot-swappable.
l
The S9505 chassis provides seven slots: The top
two accommodate SRPU modules, which are in 1+1 redundancy; the remaining five
accommodate LPU modules and service processor cards, which can be hybrid.
l
At the bottom of the chassis is the power supply
area that contains one PoE entry area, two power supply units (PSU) that are online-swappable
(which means you can use one PSU to supply power to the whole switch while
changing the other PSU). The switch can be either AC-powered or DC-powered.
l
On the right of the chassis is the fan area that
contains only one vertical fan tray. The fan tray draws air from the left and
exhausts on the right.
The two PSUs are online-swappable.
But before removing or inserting a PSU, you must first power off the PSU.
III. For S9508

Figure 1-7 S9508 slots
All modules in the cabinet are

l
The S9508 chassis provides ten slots: The middle
two accommodate SRPU modules, which are in 1+1 redundancy; the remaining eight
accommodate LPU modules and service processor cards, which can be hybrid.
l
At the bottom of the chassis is the power supply
area that contains the PoE entry area, two PSUs that are online-swappable. The
switch can be either AC-powered or DC-powered.
l
On the right of the chassis is the fan area that
contains only one vertical fan tray. The fan tray draws air from the left and
exhausts on the right.
IV. For S9512

slots
All modules in the cabinet are
hot-swappable.
l
The S9512 chassis provides 14 slots: The two in
the middle accommodate SRPU modules, which are in 1+1 redundancy; the remaining
12 accommodate LPU modules and service processor cards, which can be hybrid.
l
At the bottom of the chassis is the power supply
area that contains the PoE entry area and two PSUs that are online-swappable.
The switch can be either AC-powered or DC-powered.
l
On the right of the chassis is the fan area that
contains two vertical fan trays. The fan trays draw air from the left and
exhausts on the right.
The backplane of the S9500 series allows
high-speed data exchange between an SRPU module and LPU modules, as well as the
exchange of various management and control signals in the system.
I. Functions
The backplane mainly functions in
l
Providing communication channels for signal
exchange between boards
l
Providing support for hot-swapping of boards
l
Auto-identifying the slots
l
Connecting PSUs, achieving distributed power
supply for SRPU modules, LPU modules and PSUs and providing corresponding
control channels.
II. Structure
l
S9502
It uses a passive backplane, which provides
two LPU slots and two SRPU slots or provides three LPU slots and one SRPU slot,
one port for fan tray, and two -48V ports (one for system power input and one
for PoE entry).
l
For S9505
It uses a passive backplane, which provides
five LPU slots and two SRP slots, one port for fan tray and two –48V ports (one for
system power input and one for PoE entry).
l
For S9508
It uses a passive backplane, which provides
eight LPU slots and two SRP slots, one port for fan tray and two –48V ports (one for
system power input and one for PoE entry).
l
For S9512
It uses a passive backplane, which provides
12 LPU slots and two SRP slots, one port for fan tray and two –48V ports (one for
system power input and one for PoE entry).
l
The S9500 series can be AC-powered or
DC-powered. You can choose power supply modules as needed.
l
If you want to change power supply type, just
insert the power supply module of right type.
l
Power supply modules of the S9500 series are online-swappable.
The S9500 series can be AC-powered or
DC-powered. The power supply is at the bottom of the chassis, with a height of
3U (except S9502 switches). You can insert both AC and DC power supply modules
in the same slot based on your needs. The power frame is in different
compartment from the functional board frame and connected to the latter with
cables, which are routed on the chassis back. The power supply is cooled by
built-in fans of the PSU, which draw air into the chassis from the front and
exhaust out of the back.

The S9500 series support power over Ethernet
(PoE). With this feature, a S9500 series switch equipped with external power supply
and PoE-capable cards can deliver 48 VDC to remotely powered devices (PDs, such
as IP Phones, WLAN APs and Network Cameras) through twisted pairs.
l
The S9500 series can supply power to remote PDs through
the Ethernet electrical ports on the LPUs. Each LPU can simultaneously supply power
to up to 48 PDs at a distance of up to 100 m (328.1 feet) away.
l
Each Ethernet port can deliver up to 15.4 W to its
PD.
l
Totally, an S9500 series switch can deliver up
to 4500 W (220 V)/2250 W (110 V) power to its PDs. It determines whether to deliver
power to the newly detected PD depending on the power it currently supplied.
I. PoE entry area
On the S9500 series, the PoE entry area is
between the two power supply modules. The PoE entry module is connected with
the wiring screw post of the power frame when supported.
II. External PoE power frame
The following two types of PoE external
power supplies are available for the S9500 series:
l
PSE4500-A: adopted by S9505/S9508/S9512 switches
l
PSE2500-A1: adopted by S9502 switches
Currently the S9500 series support the PoE
power system with three AC inputs and one DC output. The PoE power frame with
three AC inputs is shown Figure 1-9:

Figure 1-9 Three-input PoE power frame
The external PoE power system supports 2+1 redundancy and online-swap.
Dedicated interface module is required for the PoE power supply on
switches. On the S9500 series, it is the GV48 interface module.

The S9502 uses eight DC fan units (70 70 25.4 mm or 2.8 2.8 1.0 in) in a
fan tray (36 W, and there is only one fan tray in the chassis). The fans
operate on 12 VDC supplied from the fan monitor board.
The S9505 uses four DC fan units (120 120 25.4 mm or 4.7 4.7 1.0 in) in a
fan tray (25 W).The fans can be governed in two modes: SRPU-controlled or
temperature-controlled. They operate on –48 VDC supplied from the
backplane.
The fan subsystem of the S9508 and S9512 is
the same as that of the S9505, except that the S9508 uses six DC fan units in
one fan tray (35 W) and the S9512 uses eight DC fan units in two fan trays (25 W
for each frame, four units in each).
