8 HP ProCurve 9300 Series

The HP ProCurve 9304M, 9308M and 9315M are supported system interconnects in HP Cluster

Platform Gigabit Ethernet solutions. These interconnects provide hardware-based Layer 2/3/4

switching and multi-protocol routing on a single, chassis-based platform. This chapter presents

the following information relating to these three interconnects:

•

An overview of the ProCurve 9300 series, including an explanation of the features of the

ProCurve 9304M, ProCurve 9308M and ProCurve 9315M (

Section 8.1

)

•

A description of the switch modules (

Section 8.2

)

•

Instructions for installing or removing a switch module in the ProCurve 9300 series

interconnects (

Section 8.3

)

•

Instructions for removing and installing a second power supply (

Section 8.4

)

•

Instructions for installing the ProCurve 9300 series in a rack (

8.1 ProCurve 9300 Series Overview

The ProCurve 9300 series chassis platform provides switching capacity in the core and on each

interface module of up to 128 Gbps for the 9304M, 256 Gbps for the 9308M, and 480 Gbps for the

9315M.

Each interface module utilizes a high bandwidth, shared-memory switching fabric that switches

up to 32 Gbps of bandwidth. This local switching fabric houses the forwarding engines and

includes Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) that provide packet switching functions

such as priority handling. Each interface module also contains ASICs that perform high speed

Layer 2, Layer 3, and Layer 4 lookups and forwarding, including IP sub- net look ups and packet

modifications of IP and IPX packets. Additionally, each interface module has a full-duplex data

path to the backplane that provides separate priority queues for each module destination.

Four fans are standard on the 4-slot chassis devices. Six fans are standard on the 8-slot and 15-slot

chassis devices. Each of the ProCurve 9300 series is equipped with LEDs that denote port and

power supply status.

The HP ProCurve 9300 series used in HP Cluster Platform Gigabit Ethernet solutions have the

following common features:

•

Enhanced Performance (EP) technology

•

10 Gigabit Ethernet

•

T-Flow traffic management

•

Port trunking

•

Layer 4 prioritization

•

IP/IPX/AppleTalk routing

•

IP multicast routing
