installed at the rear of the node. Each power supply module can independently
operate the GigaVUE-HC1P for 1+1 system redundancy and are hot swappable.
Separate AC and DC power units are available.
Refer to Power Requirements for information on power characteristics of the
GigaVUE-HC1P.
Refer to Module Removal and Replacement Procedure (Hot Removal) for more
information on hot-swapping the module.
SMT-HC1A-R GigaSMART
Module
The fixed rear GigaSMART line card comes with 2.0GHzcapability. The ports in
this module are compatible with all features that are supported by GigaVUE H
Series platforms.
Fan Trays The fan trays installed at the rear of the node provide system cooling. Fan trays
are also hot-swappable.Refer to Module Removal and Replacement Procedure
(Hot Removal) for more information on hot-swapping the module.
Hardware Root of Trust (HRoT)
The Hardware Root of Trust is a solution that intends to seek the root of trust in the system
with the help of secure micro-controller, highly resistant to attacks and provide most robust
form of IP security with multiple level of key verification during power on.
To configure the HRoT solution refer GigaVUE-OS CLI Reference Guide.
Dual BIOS Image
The GigaVUE-HC1P has a dual Basic Input/Output System (BIOS). The BIOS image is
packaged with the software image, starting in software version 6.0. The BIOS contents are
stored in flash memory, allowing the BIOS to be upgraded. There are two flash components,
a primary and a secondary.
The following CLI command displays the two flash components and indicates the BIOS
image from which the system booted using asterisks:
(config) show version
...
1st flash version: Yantra.41.011p.0 **
2nd flash version: Yantra.41.011p.0
SW BIOS version: Yantra.41.011p.0
...
Introducing the GigaVUE-HC1P Chassis
Hardware Root of Trust (HRoT) 10
GigaVUE-HC1-PLUS Hardware Installation Guide

If there is a component failure in the primary flash, the GigaVUE-HC1P boots from a backup
golden BIOS image in the secondary flash. An SNMP trap can be configured to be sent when
the system has booted from the secondary flash. The trap may indicate that the primary
flash component needs to be serviced. The trap is as follows:
2ndflashboot: Secondary flash boot notification
If a BIOS upgrade is needed for enhancements in future releases, the BIOS can be manually
upgraded from the CLI using the coreboot install command.
Chassis Cooling
The fans on the GigaVUE-HC1P run at 100% of their maximum speed on power up, then drop
to approximately 65% during normal operations. The fans are deployed in 2+1 redundancy
mode, meaning that a single fan can fail and immediately the third fan can help the chassis
maintain the appropriate cooling temperature at 40ºC ambient.They are also hot-
swappable.Refer to Module Removal and Replacement Procedure (Hot Removal) for more
information on hot-swapping the module.
The temperatures of five components: intake, exhaust, CPU, switch CPU, and GigaSMART
CPU temperatures, are monitored. When a component crosses a pre-defined threshold, the
fan speed is adjusted dynamically, in increments of approximately 10%.
An SNMP trap is sent when a component reaches the threshold for warning, alert, or critical
temperature conditions. Refer to Table 2: Component Temperature Thresholds and Actions
for the temperatures at which the warning, alert, and critical traps are sent.

The base chassis HC1P-C04X08 is the heart of the GigaVUE-HC1P, providing both processing
and switching fabric resources, as well as user access to the CLI via the Mgmt/console ports.
Port Numbering
The base chassis uses standard conventions for identifying network/ tool ports, both on the
modules themselves, as well as in the CLI:
100Gb/40Gb Ports ■Numbered with a leading C. For example, the base chassis
includes 100Gb/40Gb ports C1 to C4.
25Gb/10Gb/1Gb Ports ■Numbered with a leading X. For example, the base chassis
includes 25Gb/10Gb/1Gb ports X1 to X8.
NOTE:In one quad( a group of four ports), there cannot be a mix of
10Gb,25Gb ports or 1 Gb ports.
NOTE:When referring to ports in the CLI, the format is box ID/slot ID/port ID. For
example, 1/1/x6 refers to box 1, slot 1, port X6.
■GigaVUE-HC1P: The base chassis is numbered 1. Slots (bays) are numbered 2-3 from left
to right.
NOTE:The port labels on the base chassis faceplate use upper-case C, and
Xcharacters to identify ports. However, the CLI uses lowercase notation to refer to
ports (for example, c1 and x1).

Removal) for instructions – you must follow a specific procedure when removing modules to
preserve node stability.
Bypass Modules (BPS-HC1-D25A60 SX/SR, BPS-
HC1-D35C60 LX/LR)
The BPS-HC1-D25A60 is multi-mode SR and BPS-HC1-D35C60 is single-mode LR 1Gb/10Gb
bypass modules. Bypass Modules offer six inline network port pairs each.

Table 4: BPS-HC1-D35C60
Before installing a Bypass Module, the GigaVUE-HC1P must be running on the software
version 6.00 or higher. For internal transceiver and loss summary specifications, refer to
Bypass Module Specifications.
The GigaVUE-HC1P offers physical and logical inline bypass. Physical bypass provides
automatic failover protection in the case of a power failure. The bypass modules provide the
physical bypass function. As it applies to a single pair of inline network ports, the physical
bypass function is as follows:
lWhen the module is not powered, (either the entire node is powered down or the
module is removed from the node), the inline network port pair is in the physical
bypass mode. That means that traffic is exchanged directly between network Port A
and network Port B of the inline network pair.
lWhen the module is powered, the mode (inline or bypass) of the inline network port
pair is controlled through software. In the physical bypass mode, the inline network
port pair behaves exactly as if the module was not powered. In the inline mode, the
inline network port pair behaves as any other inline network port pair configured for
working with an inline tool.
Features of the 10Gb Bypass Modules:
■Six inline network port pairs that pass traffic bi-directionally.
■Port pairs that offer optical protection switch for physical bypass.
■A mode to select either bypass or inline.
■A module that is hot swappable. Refer to procedures in Module Removal and
Replacement Procedure (Hot Removal).

Module Status LEDs
The following module status LEDs are located on the front of the bypass modules:
■RDY is the Ready LED. It has the following states:
oRED indicates system booting or module down
oGREEN indicates normal condition
■POWER is the Power LED. It has the following state:
oGREEN indicates the module is receiving power
Inline Network Ports
Connect inline networks to the inline network ports. The inline network ports have built-in
protection for power down.
The inline network status LEDs have the following labels:
• A—Inline network LED A
• B—Inline network LED B
• M—Mode LED (on is inline and off is bypass)
Using Bypass Modules for Gigamon Resiliency for Inline Protection
■Gigamon Resiliency for Inline Protection (GRIP)™ is an inline bypass solution that
connects two GigaVUE-HC1P nodes together so that one node provides high availability
to the other node when there is a loss of power. This redundant arrangement of two
GigaVUE-HC1P nodes maintains traffic monitoring by inline tools when one of the
nodes is down.
■GRIP™ makes use of the bypass protection switch relays for protected inline networks
on GigaVUE-HC1P nodes. The bypass modules can provide physical protection for
protected pairs of optical inline network ports required by the GRIP solution.
■To configure the GRIP solution, the GigaVUE-HC1P must be running GigaVUE-OS
version 6.0 or higher. For solution and configuration information, refer to the chapter
“Configuring Inline Bypass Solutions” in the GigaVUE-OS-CLI Reference Guide.
