electronics.
l Transport hardware in its original packaging.
l If the original packaging is unavailable, package heavy, bulky parts (such as chassis and
blades) and fragile parts (such as PCIe GPUs and SSDs) separately.
NOTE
Use the Huawei Server Compatibility Checker to check the parts supported by a compute node or
server.
l Power off all hardware before transportation.

2.1 Functions
The CX310 is a switching control unit that provides data switching function for compute
nodes in the system and centrally provides service and management ports to connect to
external devices.
The CX310 switch modules are installed in the rear slots of the E9000 chassis and connected
to compute nodes, storage nodes, and management modules through the E9000 midplane. The
switch modules perform switching of internal data packets and control and management
packets to provide high-speed data transmission.

2.3 Ports
The CX310 provides ports for users to operate and configure. The ports are used to send and
receive data.
The CX310 Ethernet ports are numbered in the Slot number/Subcard number/Port number
format.

CX310 Switch Module
l Slot number: indicates the slot number of the current switch module. Its value ranges
from 1 to 4, from left to right mapping to slot numbers 1E, 2X, 3X, and 4E.
l Subcard number: indicates the number of a subcard supported by switching service ports.
Its value ranges from 1 to 19.
l Port number: indicates the sequence number of a port on a subcard.
For details about subcard numbers and port numbers, see Table 2-2 and Table 2-3.
For example, if the CX310 is in slot 2X, the first GE port on the upper right on the panel is
numbered 10GE 2/17/16, as shown in Figure 2-5.

2.6 Logical Architecture

The CX310 logical architecture consists of three modules: the baseboard management
controller (BMC) module, CPU system module, and converged switch module.
l The BMC module is a management module that powers on or off the node, monitors the
system, and upgrades components.
l The CPU system module is the controlling core that processes network protocol packets
and manages user configurations.
l The converged switch module is the data processing core that forwards data between
internal data processing modules and external network devices.

2.7 Internal Chassis Networking

Figure 2-8 shows the internal chassis networking for the CX310 and compute nodes. Ports on
compute nodes for connecting to the CX310 are provided by two mezzanine modules as
follows:
l Mezz 1 connects to the converged switching plane of the CX310s in slots 2X and 3X.
l Mezz 2 connects to the converged switching plane of the CX310s in slots 1E and 4E.
Figure 2-8 Mapping between the CX310s and mezzanine modules on compute nodes
For details, see the E9000 Blade Server Mezzanine Module-Switch Module Interface
Mapping Tool.
The following describes the mapping between the CX310s and mezzanine modules. For
example, the CX310s are installed in slots 2X and 3X and connect to Mezz 1.

CX310 Switch Module
Prerequisites
Data
l IP address of the server to be connected
l User name and password for logging in to the server to be connected
Software
PuTTY.exe: third-party software.
Procedure
Step 1 Connect the local PC and the MGMT port on the MM910 through a network cable.
Step 2 Set an IP address and a subnet mask or add route information for the PC so that the PC can
properly communicate with the server.
You can run the Ping Server IP address command on the PC command-line interface (CLI) to
check the communication between the PC and the server.

6.3 Logging In to a Device over a Serial Port by Using

PuTTY
Scenarios
Log in to a server over a serial port by using PuTTY in the following scenarios:
l The server is configured for the first time at a new site, and you need to perform initial
configuration.

CX310 Switch Module
l The server cannot be remotely connected because the network is faulty, and you need to
locate the fault.
NOTE
The server that is logged in to is a management module, compute node, or switch module in an
E9000 chassis.
When logging in to a management module, you must connect the serial port to the COM serial
port of the MM910.
When logging in to a compute node, you can connect the serial port to the SYS serial port or BMC
chip of the compute node.
l The E9000 compute nodes do not provide serial ports. To log in to a compute node over a
serial port, connect a multi-port cable to a universal connector port (UCP) and log in through
the serial port of the multi-port cable. If the compute node does not provide a UCP, you can
log in to the compute node only through a network port. For details, see 6.1 Logging In to a
Compute Node or a Switch Module over MM910 SOL.
l On the MM910 CLI, run the bmccomstate and switchcom commands to query and switch
the objects connected to the serial ports. For details, see the MM910 Management Module
V100R001 Command Reference.
When logging in to a switch module, you can connect the serial port to the Ethernet switching
plane, FC switching plane, or BMC chip.

6.6 Logging In to the HMM WebUI

Scenarios
Log in to the HMM WebUI using a browser.

CX310 Switch Module
NOTE
l If HMM WebUI login attempts fail for five consecutive times, the account is locked. It will be
automatically unlocked after 10 minutes. If you enter a password within this time, the lock is reset to
10 minutes even if the password is correct.
l An account can be used to log in to the HMM WebUI only through one IP address at a time. Other
logins through a different IP address forcibly log out the user who has logged in using the account.
l "This is the standby MM" is displayed for the WebUI of the standby MM910. The standby HMM
WebUI does not display component installation status. On the WebUI of the standby MM910, you
can only view monitoring information about the active MM910, set the DHCP and static IP
addresses, and set and query the thresholds and hysteresis of the sensors of the standby MM910. To
perform other operations, log in to the WebUI of the active MM910.
l For details about the operations on the WebUI, see the Online Help.
Prerequisites

CX310 Switch Module
Figure 6-7 Network connections
NOTE
l For MM910 (U54) 2.25 or earlier, the MM910 communicates with external network devices through
the ports on switch modules in slots 2X and 3X by default. For MM910 later than (U54) 2.25, the
MM910 communicates with external network devices through the MGMT port by default. To query
the MM910 version, see the MM910 Management Module V100R001 User Guide.
l You can run the outportmode command to change the MM910 management network port
connection mode. If the MM910 communicates with external network devices through the switch
module ports, do not connect the MM910 MGMT port and the switch module ports to the same
network. Otherwise, a network storm will occur and the network will be interrupted. For details, see
the MM910 Management Module V100R001 Command Reference.
Step 2 Set an IP address and a subnet mask or add route information for the PC, and ensure that the
PC can properly communicate with the MM910.
