    After a module is recognized, its configuration is stored locally on the switch as the switch default. The module configuration appears in the running configuration for informational purposes. For more information, see the Dell Configuration Guide for the S3100 Series. Install Rack or Cabinet Hardware You may either place the switch on the rack shelf or mount the switch directly into a 19"...

  • Page 29: Installing The Dell Readyrails System

    • Do not mount the equipment with the PSU side facing in the downward position. Installing the Dell ReadyRails System The ReadyRails rack mounting system is provided to easily configure your rack for system installation. You can install the ReadyRails system using the 1U tool-less method or one of three possible 1U tooled methods (two-post flush mount, two-post center mount, or four-post threaded).

  • Page 30: Configuring A Two-Post Flush-Mount

    Figure 21. 1U Tool-Less Configuration Configuring a Two-Post Flush-Mount To install your switch using a two-post flush-mount configuration, follow these steps. For this configuration, remove the castings from the front side of each ReadyRails assembly. See item 1 in the following illustration. To remove the two screws from each front flange ear (on the switch side of the rail) and remove each casting, use a Torx driver.

  • Page 31: Configuring A Two-Post Center-Mount

    Figure 22. Installing the Switch using a Two-Post Flush-Mount Configuration Configuring a Two-Post Center-Mount To install your switch in a two-post center-mount configuration, follow these steps. Slide the plunger bracket rearward until it clicks into place and secure the bracket to the front post flange with two user-supplied screws.

  • Page 32: Configuring A Four-Post Thread

    Figure 23. Installing the Switch in a Two-Post Center-Mount Configuration Configuring a Four-Post Thread To install your switch in a four-post thread configuration, follow these steps. For this configuration, remove the flange ear castings from each end of the ReadyRails assemblies. To remove the two screws from each flange ear and remove each casting, use a Torx driver.

  • Page 33: Installing A 1U Front-Rack

    Figure 24. Four-Post Threaded Configuration Installing a 1U Two-Post You can install the switch in 1U two-post (flush and center) configurations. Slide the system into the rails in the same manner as the four-post configurations. Installing a 1U Front-Rack To install the switch in a 1U front-rack configuration, configure the rails that are attached to the system. Attach the switch rails (inner chassis members) to the switch.
  • Page 34 Figure 25. Attaching the Switch Rails After you have installed both switch rails, line them up on the previously mounted ReadyRails and slide the switch in until it is flush with the front of the rack. About three inches before you fully insert your switch, the rail locking feature engages to keep the switch from inadvertently sliding out of the rack and falling.

  • Page 35: Connecting The Stacking Ports (Optional)

    S3124P or S3148P platforms, you cannot combine different platforms into one stack. The S3124 and S3124F platforms do not support stacking with Dell Networking OS 9.8(2.0). Dell recommends installing the switches connected in a ring topology. Assemble and cable the stack of switches before powering up and configuring it.
  • Page 36 NOTE: You can (optionally) use the CLI to assign the master unit role, or select a different stack member as the standby unit, based on priority or MAC address. For more information, see the Dell Configuration Guide for the S3100 Series or the Dell Command Line Reference Guide for the S3100 Series.
  • Page 37 Powering Up To connect the chassis to the applicable power source, use the appropriate power cord. The system is powered up as soon as the power cord is connected between the system and the power source. CAUTION: Always disconnect the power cable before you service the power supply slots.
