1 Introduction to HPE StoreFabric M-Series SN2000M
Spectrum™ Based Ethernet Switch Systems
1.1 Overview
HPE StoreFabric M-Series SN2000M Spectrum™ based 1U switch systems are an ideal spine
and Top of Rack (ToR) solution, allowing maximum flexibility, with port speeds spanning from
10Gb/s to 100Gb/s per port, and port density that enables full rack connectivity to any server at
any speed. The uplink ports allow a variety of blocking ratios that suit any application require-
ment. Powered by the Spectrum ASIC, the systems carry whopping switching and processing
capacities in a compact 1U form factor.
The Spectrum based systems introduce the world’s lowest latency for 100GbE switching and
routing elements, and do so while having the lowest power consumption in the market. They
enable the use of 10, 25, 40, 50 and 100GbE in a large scale without changing power infrastruc-
ture facilities.
The Spectrum™ based 1U switch systems are a part of HPE StoreFabric M-Series’ complete
end-to-end solution, which provides 10GbE through 100GbE interconnectivity within the data
center. Other devices in this solution include ConnectX-4 based network interface cards, and
LinkX copper or fiber cabling. This end-to-end solution is topped with NEO, a management
application that relieves some of the major obstacles standing in the way when deploying a net-
work. NEO enables a fully certified and interoperable design, speeds up time to service and RoI.
The systems introduce hardware capabilities for multiple tunneling protocols that enable
increased reachability and scalability for today’s data centers. Implementing MPLS, NVGRE and
VXLAN tunneling encapsulations in the network layer of the data center allows more flexibility
for terminating a tunnel by the network, in addition to termination on the server endpoint.
While Spectrum provides the thrust and acceleration that powers the switch systems, they get yet
another angle of capabilities, running with a powerful x86-based processor, which allows them to
not only be the highest performing switch fabric elements, but also grants them the ability to
incorporate a Linux running server into the same device. This opens up multiple application
aspects of utilizing the high CPU processing power and the best switching fabric, to create a
powerful machine with unique appliance capabilities that can improve numerous network imple-
mentation paradigms.
The Spectrum™ based 1U switch systems support the Open Network Install Environment
(ONIE) for zero touch installations of network operating systems.

2. Pay attention to the air flow consideration within the system and rack - refer to “Air Flow” on
page 17.
3. Make sure that none of the package contents is missing or damaged - see “Package Contents”
on page 17.
4. Mount the system into a rack enclosure - see “19” Systems Mounting Options” on page 18.
5. Power on the system - refer to “Initial Power On” on page 46.
6. Perform system bring-up - see “System Bring-Up” on page 48.
7. [Optional]: FRU replacements are described in Section 2.9 on page 53.
2.3 Air Flow
All HPE StoreFabric M-Series switches have back-to-front air flow, as shown in Figure 8
Figure 8: Air Flow Direction Marking - Power Side Inlet to Connector Side Outlet
2.4 Package Contents
Before installing your new system, unpack it and check against the parts list below that all the
parts have been sent. Check the parts for visible damage that may have occurred during shipping.
The SN2700M and SN2410M/SN2410bM package content is as follows:
• 1 – System
• 1 – Rail kit
• 1 – Power cable for each power supply unit – Type C13-C14
• 1 – Cable retainer for each power supply unit
• 1 – DB9 to RJ-45 2m harness
The SN2100M/SN2010M package content is as follows:
• 1 – System
• 1 – Power cable for each power supply unit – Type C13-C14
The following information does not apply to SN2100M/SN2010M. In the SN2100M/
SN2010M systems, the fan units are non-replaceable.
All servers and systems in the same rack should be planned with the same airflow
direction.
All FRU components need to have the same air flow direction. A mismatch in the air
flow will affect the heat dissipation.

2.5 19” Systems Mounting Options
By default, the SN2700M system is sold with the static rail kit described in Section 2.5.1. The
SN2410M/SN2410bM system is sold with the static rail kit described in Section 2.5.3. For the
telescopic rail kit installation instructions (can be used with SN2700M only), see Section 2.5.2.
The SN2100M/SN2010M system is sold without a rail kit. A designated rail kit can be purchased
separately. For installation instructions, see Section 2.5.4.
2.5.1 Static Rail Kit for SN2700M
The following parts are included in the static rail kit (see Figure 9):
• 2x Rack mount rails (A)
• 2x Rack mount brackets (B)
• 2x Rack mount blades (C)
• 8x M6 Standard cage nuts¹ ² and 8x M6 Standard pan-head Phillips screws¹ (D)
• 4x Phillips100 DEG F.H TYPE-I ST.ST 6-32 X 1/4 screw with around patch (E)
¹ Other threads are available by special order: M5, 10-32, 12-24

To mount the system into the rack:
Before mounting the system to the rack, select the way you wish to place the system. Pay atten-
tion to the airflow within the rack cooling, connector and cabling options.
While planning how to place the system, consider the two installation options shown in
Figure 10, and review the following points:
• Make sure the system air flow is compatible with your installation selection. It is import-
ant to keep the airflow within the rack in the same direction.
• Note that the part of the system to which you choose to attach the rails (the front panel
direction, as demonstrated in Option 1 or the FRUs direction, as demonstrated in Option
2) will determine the system’s adjustable side. The system’s part to which the brackets
are attached will be adjacent to the cabinet.
• The FRU side is extractable. Mounting the rack brackets inverted to the FRU side
(Option 2) will allow you to slide the FRUs, in and out.
