The total PoE power budget for the switch is between 320W and 790W, depending on the power sources
available. If the external 470W Redundant Power Supply (catalog # S50-01-PSU-V) from Dell Force10

Each port can provide a maximum of 15.4W, subject to the power budget, voltage, power priority, and
power limit settings. PoE is, by default, enabled globally on a first-come, first-serve basis, until it exceeds
the total available power. Alternatively, the switch administrator can use the CLI to allocate power on a
per-port and a per-stack-unit basis, with per-port power limits and port prioritization. For a brief

Storing Components

If you do not install your system and components immediately, Dell Force10 recommends that you
properly store the switch and all optional components until you are ready to install them.
WARNING: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur when components are mishandled. Always
wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the switch and its accessories. After you
remove the original packaging, place the switch and its components on an antistatic surface.
Follow these storage guidelines:
• Storage temperature should remain constant, in the range from -40° to 158° F (-40°C to 70° C).
• Storage humidity should be within 10 to 90% (relative humidity), non-condensing
• Store on a dry surface or floor, away from direct sunlight, heat, and air conditioning ducts.
• Store in a dust-free environment.

Tools Required

S-Series switches are shipped fully assembled, encased in foam. A utility knife is useful for cutting the
packing tape, and a Phillips #2 screwdriver is required for attaching rack screws, and is also used for
making some attachments, including DC cables and rear cover plates. Wear an anti-static guard, as noted
above.
