    136.4°F (58°C). The S6100-ON never intentionally turns off the fans. Power To connect the chassis to the applicable power source, use the appropriate power cord with the S6100–ON. An AC or DC power cord is included with the system.

  • Page 15: Storing Components

    Storing components If you do not install your S6100–ON and components immediately, properly store the system and all optional components by following these guidelines: • Storage location temperature must remain constant. The storage range is from -40° to 158°F (-40°C to 70°C).

  • Page 16: Nebs Compliance

    NEBS-compliant ground installation Before you install the switch into a rack, install the ground (GND) lug assembly. The accessory box includes a UL-certified GND lug and two nuts, packaged separately. If any parts are missing, contact your Dell Sales Representative.

    NOTE: Never use the same bolts to secure multiple grounding cables. For rack spans from 22 to 23.375 inches The switch ships without the ground lug attached. To be NEBS-compliant, attach the ground lug using these steps. Figure 6. Switch without ground lug Remove the ground lug from the shipping bag and crimp the ground wire to the lug.

    ESD damage can occur if components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the S6100–ON and its components. As with all electrical devices of this type, take all the necessary safety precautions to prevent injury when installing this system.

  • Page 24: Four-Post Rack Assembly

    Unpack the system by carefully removing the device from the container and placing it on a secure and clean surface. Four-post rack assembly Due to the chassis weight, the S6100–ON switch does not support a two-post rack installation; you must install the S6100–ON in a four- post rack.

  • Page 25: Chassis Ground

    After you mount the chassis, secure the chassis ground as follows: To properly ground the chassis, Dell recommends using the two-hole lug shipped in a separate plastic bag with your chassis. The two-hole lug must be a UL recognized, crimp-type lug. To connect the ground cable to the framework or cabinet and to mount the unit, use thread- forming unit mounting screws that remove paint or nonconductive coatings.

  • Page 27: I/O Module Installation

    Install a blank panel in any unused switch I/O slot. NOTE: The S6100-ON has capacitors on the front-left corner of the PC board. To avoid damaging these capacitors, align the I/O module with the yellow arrows located inside the chassis and then gently slide the I/O module in place.

  • Page 28: Important Points

    The S6100–ON ships with two power supplies. • The PSU slides into the slot smoothly. Do not force the PSU into a slot as this action may damage the PSU or the S6100-ON chassis. • The S6100–ON supports AC and DC power supplies with two air-flow directions—I/O to PSU and PSU to I/O. The S6100–ON does not support mixing PSU types.

  • Page 29: Sfp+ And Qsfp Optics Installation

    Dell recommends you distribute port groups across all four port pipes. The S6100-ON switch has four port pipes, also known as packet processing pipelines. Because S6100-ON is a modular switch, connectivity between the front panel ports and the port pipes depends on the module type of the four slots. For the best buffer resource usage, distribute the functional port groups, such as downlinks, uplinks, interchassis links, LAGs, and ECMP across all four port pipes—0, 1, 2, and...

  • Page 33: Power Supplies

    Power supplies The S6100–ON supports AC or DC power supplies with two air-flow directions, normal and reverse. Normal airflow is from the I/O to the PSU and reverse airflow is from the PSU to the I/O. Two PSUs are required for full redundancy, but the system can operate with a single PSU. To protect against high-voltage shock, install a power supply blank in all unused power supply slots.
