Overview
The Open Application Platform (OAP) cards are developed based on the
Open Application Architecture (OAA) by HP.
An OAP card has an independent CPU and memory card (CF card), and
it can load various service software. After you install an OAP card in a
switch, the switch can provide security, management, and wireless
communication applications flexibly and rapidly besides basic data
forwarding functions. In this way, multiple kinds of applications are
implemented on the same device, facilitating network and service
deployment and reducing overall cost at the same time.
The firewall card and access controller module are two types of OAP
cards. For more information, see Table 1.

Firewall
card
Besides the traditional firewall functions, a firewall
card supports virtual firewall, security zone, attack
defense, and P2P flow control, thus effectively
ensuring network security; supports multiple VPN
services, such as IPsec VPN, thus allowing you to
build various VPNs; supports multiple routing
protocols, such as RIP, OSPF and BGP, thus
providing abundant routing capabilities. Using a
firewall card, a switch can implement security
functions, such as firewall and VPN, to ensure
network security.

(JD441A and

Access
controller
module
An access controller (AC) module can provide
large-scale access point (AP) management and
user access services, support wireless standards
including 802.11a/b/g, 802.11n, 802.11i,
802.11e and 802.11h, and provide perfect
security, QoS, roaming, and RF management
mechanisms.

Hardware of the OAP card
The firewall card and access controller module are similar in hardware
structure and appearance, except that the product model marked on the
front panel and the loaded software of the cards are different. The
following hardware introduction is made on a firewall card.

Management Ethernet port
The front panel of an OAP card provides one management Ethernet port,
which can work without being affected by the working status of the

5
switching chip. Typically, a management Ethernet port is used to connect
a PC for loading system programs or debugging, or connect the remote
network management station for implementing remote system
management.

Installing an OAP card
Installing and removing an OAP card
CAUTION:
The installation tools are not provided with the HP switches and OAP
cards.
This section describes the installation and removal of a firewall card on an
A5800-48G-PoE+ Switch with 2 Interface Slots (JC101A). The installation
and removal of other OAP card models are similar.
OAP cards are hot swappable. You can remove an OAP card from a
switch when the switch is powered on.
Prepare the following tools before installation:
•Phillips screwdriver
•ESD-preventive wrist strap
Install an OAP card
Follow these steps to install an OAP card:
Step1 Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, and make sure the wrist strap
makes good skin contact and is properly grounded.
Step2 Loosen the captive screws on the blank panel with a Phillips screwdriver,
as shown in Figure 3, and remove the blank panel from the slot to be
used. Keep the removed blank panel properly for future use.

Step3 Take the OAP card out of the package. Then, you can select to insert
the OAP card as shown in Figure 4 with the ejector levels at the bottom,
or reversely insert the OAP card as shown in Figure 5 with the ejector
levers on top. Select a proper installation mode based on the hardware
structure of your switch.
NOTE:
The insertion and reverse insertion procedures are the same. This
document uses reverse insertion of an OAP card to an A5800-48G-PoE+
Switch with 2 Interface Slots (JC101A) as an example.

Step4 Push the OAP card slowly along the guide rails (see callout 3 in Figure
6) and then push the ejector levers inward to lock the OAP card in
position (see callout 4 in Figure 6).

CAUTION:
When installing the OAP card, note the following guidelines:
Do not touch the components on the surface of the OAP card.
Do not apply excessive force while installing the OAP card. If you canno
t
insert the OAP card smoothly, check whether the installation mode
(reverse insertion) is correct.
Step5 Fasten the captive screws on the OAP card with the Philips screwdriver
until the OAP card is fixed into the chassis.
Remove an OAP card
Follow these steps to remove an OAP card:

Step1 Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, and make sure the wrist strap
makes good skin contact and is properly grounded.
Step2 Loosen the captive screws on the OAP card with the Philips screwdriver
until all spring pressure is released.
Step3 Hold each ejector lever with a hand and pull the ejector levers outward
(see callout 4 in Figure 7). Then pull out the OAP card slowly along the
guide rails (see callout 3 in Figure 7).

WARNING!
The protection panel on the OAP card surface has a yellow warnin
g
label
, indicating that this area corresponds to the inner heat
radiator. After the OAP card runs for a period of time, this area may be
very hot. So keep your hands away from the area while removin
g
the OAP
card to avoid being hurt.

10
CAUTION:
When removing the OAP card, note the following guidelines:
Do not touch the components on the surface of the OAP card.
Do not apply excessive force while removing the OAP card.
If you do not install a new OAP card in the slot, install a blank panel to
prevent dust from enterin
g
the switch and ensure normal ventilation in the
switch.
Connecting the management Ethernet port
cable
Follow these steps to connect the management Ethernet port cable:
Step1 Connect the management Ethernet port to the terminal.
•To connect the management Ethernet port of an OAP card to the Ethernet
port of a PC or router, use a crossover cable.
•To connect the management Ethernet port of an OAP card to the Ethernet
port of a hub or switch, use a straight-through cable.
Step2 After the OAP card is powered on, check the management Ethernet
port status LED on the front panel of the OAP card. If the LED is on, a
link is present; if the LED is off, no link is present, and you need to check
the line.
Verifying the installation
After the OAP card is installed, you can check the status of the LEDs on
the front panel of the OAP card to verify the operation state of the OAP
card. If the OAP card works abnormally, check whether the OAP card is
correctly installed.
