Safety information
To avoid bodily injury or damage to the module, read the following information carefully before you
operate the module. In practice, safety information includes but is not limited to what are mentioned
in this document.
General operating safety
To avoid bodily injury or damage to the module, follow these guidelines when you operate the
module:
•
Only H3C authorized or professional engineers are allowed to install, service, repair, operate, or
upgrade the module.
•
Place the module on a clean, stable table or floor for servicing.
•
Keep the module clean and dust-free, and do not place the module in a wet environment or let
liquid flow into the module.
•
When using tools for servicing, be sure to follow the operation instructions.
•
Before powering on the module, make sure the server is grounded reliably.
•
Make sure that you move or place the module evenly and slowly.
•
To avoid being burnt, allow the module and its internal modules to cool before touching them.
•
For adequate heat dissipation of the server, install a filler panel in the slot if the module is not
installed.
Electrical safety
To avoid bodily injury or damage to the module, follow these guidelines:
•
Verify whether the operation area has potential risks carefully, such as an ungrounded chassis,
unreliable grounding, or wet floor.
•
Do not work alone when you service the module with power present.
•
To avoid electric shocks, do not touch the power supply directly or indirectly through conductive
objects.
Laser safety
WARNING
!
Disconnected optical fibers or
transceiver modules might emit invisible
laser light. Do not stare into
beams or view directly with optical instruments when the module is operating
ESD prevention
Electrostatic charges that build up on people and tools might damage or shorten the lifespan of the
system board and electrostatic-sensitive components.
Preventing electrostatic discharge
To prevent electrostatic damage, follow these guidelines:
•
Transport or store the module in an antistatic bag.

2
•
Place the module on a grounded surface before removing it from its antistatic bag.
•
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
•
You must take ESD preventions before touching the electrostatic-sensitive components.
Grounding methods to prevent electrostatic discharge
The following are grounding methods that you can use to prevent electrostatic discharge:
•
Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.
•
Take adequate personal grounding measures, including wearing antistatic clothing and static
dissipative shoes.
•
Use conductive field service tools.
•
Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.

Preparing for replacement
Before replacing a switch module, make the following preparations.
•
Take the following ESD prevention measures:
Wear ESD clothing.
Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it is grounded reliably.
Remove any conductive objects (such as jewelry and watches).
•
Backup the switch module configuration.
•
Examine the slot and connector for damages. Make sure the pins are not damaged (bent for
example) and do not contain any foreign objects.
•
Be clear about the switch module installation guidelines.
Install a maximum of switch modules for the server.
The installation positions of switch modules and mezzanine network adapters must allow
their internal connections.
The six switch modules form three pairs with internal ports inter-connected: Slots 1 and 4
pair, slots 2 and 5 pair, and slots 3 and 6 pair. Each pair can be used as a switching plane,
and the switch modules in each pair operate in active/standby mode.
The switch module can be hot swapped.

see "Powering on the module."
•
You have accessed the switch module. For information about accessing the switch module, see
"Accessing the switch module."
Procedure
For the configuration procedure, see the configuration guide and command reference for H3C
UniServer BX1010E switch module.
Splitting a 100-GE interface and combining
breakout interfaces into a 100-GE interface
You can use a 100-GE interface on the switch module as a single interface. To improve port density,
reduce costs, and improve network flexibility, you can also split a 100-GE interface into four breakout
interfaces.
The breakout interfaces split from a 100-GE interface support the same configuration and features
as common physical interfaces, except that they are numbered differently.
For example:
•
You can split 100-GE interface HundredGigE 1/1/9 into four 25-GE interfaces Twenty-FiveGigE
1/1/9:1 through Twenty-FiveGigE 1/1/9:4.
•
You can split 100-GE interface HundredGigE 1/1/9 into four 10-GE interfaces
Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/1/9:1 to Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/1/9:4.
If you need higher bandwidth on a single interface, you can combine the breakout interfaces into a
100-GE interface.
By default, a 100-GE interface is not split and operates as a single interface.
Prerequisites
•
The switch module has been powered on. For information about powering on the switch module,
see "Powering on the module."
•
You have accessed the switch module. For information about accessing the switch module, see
"Accessing the switch module."
•
Be sure that you are clear about the restrictions and guidelines for splitting and combining
interfaces. For more information, see the configuration guides and command references for the
H3C UniServer BX1010E switch module.
•
To split a 100-GE interface into four 25-GE interfaces, you need a 100-GE transceiver module
or cable that support splitting for connection. To split a 100-GE interface into four 10-GE
interfaces, you need a 40-GE transceiver module or cable that support splitting for connection.
Splitting a 100-GE interface into four 25-GE interfaces
1. Enter the CLI of the switch module.
2. Enter system view.
