S9500E switches.
Physical architecture
An H3C S9500E chassis comprises a backplane, power supply system, fan system, and card cage.
NOTE:
The diagrams in this guide are for illustration only, and AC-powered chassis are used for example.

The S9505E chassis has the following slots and components:
•Two MPU slots, five LPU slots, and two power supply slots at the front.
•One vertically oriented, hot swappable fan tray at the rear. The fans draw air in from the left side
and exhaust air out of the right side. For the ventilation direction inside the chassis, see "Preparing
for installation."
NOTE:
Intermixing of AC and DC power supplies is not allowed.

vertically oriented.
•One horizontally oriented, hot swappable fan tray at the front. The fans draw air in from the front
and rear of the bottom of the chassis and exhaust air out of the left and right sides and rear at the
top of the chassis. For the ventilation direction inside the chassis, see "Preparing for installation."
NOTE:
Intermixing of AC and DC power supplies is not allowed.

NOTE:
Intermixing of AC and DC power supplies is not allowed.
Backplane
The backplane of an S9500E switch is located inside the chassis. It provides high-speed data switching
and exchanges management and control signals between MPUs and LPUs. The backplane provides the
following capabilities:
•Provides communication channels for signal exchange between cards.
•Supports hot-swapping of cards.
•Identifies card type.

10
•Connects to the power frame, implements distributed power supply for MPUs, LPUs, switching fabric
modules, fan trays and power supplies, and provides monitoring channels for MPUs to monitor
power frame status.
Power supply system
The S9500E switches support both AC and DC power supply. If two power supplies are used, make sure
they are the same type.
AC power supply
Each AC power supply comprises a power frame, and depending on your configuration, one or two sub
power supplies installed in the power frame. The S9500E switches use the NEPS3500-A power frame
and the NEPS1800-A sub power supplies.
