Executive summary HP networking has an extensive line of networking products built around the concept of the ProCurve Adaptive Network vision that provides the security, mobility, and convergence capabilities businesses demand while giving technology administrators the ability to adapt to the changing needs of their organizations and control their infrastructure centrally . This guide describes the HP ProCurve 6600 Switch Series and how it builds upon the HP ProCurve Switch 8200zl, 5400zl, 6

Product positioning Overview The intelligence, throughput, scalability, and physical connectivity options of the 6600 series make them suitable for applications at the server edge or aggregation/distribution layer of a compute network . The 6600 switch series leverages the same ProVision ASIC and software found in the widely deployed 8200zl, 5400zl, 6200yl, and 3500yl products . Enhanced for the data center, the 6600 series provides front-to-back (reversible) airflow, redundant hot-swappable

6600 series system overview The HP ProCurve 6600 Switch Series was designed to be co-located with data center servers for both top-of- rack edge access and end-of-row aggregation and distribution deployment models . To support high availability in a 1U form factor, all 6600 series products allow for redundant hot-swappable power supply options, hot- swappable fan tray, and front-to-back (reversible) airflow, along with out-of-band Ethernet management ports . These are key capabilities that se

supports only the 1200 W AC supply, although the 6600 series is capable of supporting DC and other common-slot supplies . Two AC-to-12-V DC power supplies can be configured as 1+1 redundant supplies . The system is fully powered with either power supply, and either power supply (but not both) can be removed and replaced while the system is still racked, and the switch will continue to operate . Each power supply input is C14 with proper safety ground . 110–120 VAC 200–240 VAC Current < 7 .

Figure 4: Default airflow direction and connectivity side view of the 6600-24XG switch In the event of an individual fan failure, an SNMP trap and event log entry is generated . A system can typically operate for quite a long time with a single fan failure (out of the eight), as the remaining fans can increase speed to compensate for the loss of airflow . The fan tray replicates the Power, Fan, Fault, and Locator LEDs found on the connectivity side of the 6600 switch . This is useful when at

switches would more likely have their network ports facing toward the back (hot aisle) of the cabinet to facilitate server connectivity . With this intention, the default configuration for the command is, “Power-to-Port”, so the “fan-pref-airflow-dir” command will not show up in the configuration file—it is the default . If the user intends to change the airflow so that the preferred direction is Ethernet ports facing the cold aisle, then in the configuration file the use should change the p

Memory SDRAM Synchronous Dynamic RAM (SDRAM) is used for the storage of uncompressed executable code and data structures . The SDRAM consists of a 256 MB DDR-1 DIMM in the base module, expandable up to 1 GB . The DDR-1 interface is 64 bits running at 166-MHz bus speed (333-MHz data rate) . Buffer memory Table 1 highlights the amount of QDR SDRAM alloc

Mgmt. to N-chip comm. Console port The console port allows for RS-232 serial connectivity for local management and configuration . For the 6600- 48G, 6600-48G-4XG, and 6600-24XG switches, the console port is an RJ-45 connector . To connect to the console, an RJ-45–to–DB-9 cable is provided with each switch to connect to the serial port on a laptop . The 6600-24G/6600-24G-4XG products offer a DB-9 serial console port for management access, and a DB-9–to– DB-9 cable is provided . The part number

The 6600 series 1U form factor switches are enhanced for server edge connectivity with front-to-back cooling, redundant hot-swappable power, and redundant hot-swappable fans . The foundation for all these switches is a purpose-built, programmable ProVision ASIC that allows the most demanding networkin

The ASIC layout shown in Figure 8 for the data center focused 6600-24G-4XG switch adds an NGX ASIC to provide a 10-Gb uplink capability to this switch model . Unlike the 3500yl-24G switch, where the yl 10-Gb module is rear mounted, the 6600-24G-4XG switch moves the 10-Gb ports to the front of the switch for simplified cabling . Examining the Gigabit ports, the last four ports are dual personality, meaning they can be used as RJ-45 copper ports or mGBIC (or SFP) fiber ports . The 6600-24G-4X
