Installing the SFP+ and QSFP+ Optics

The S5000 has 48 small form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+) optical ports and four QSFP+ optical ports.

For a list of supported optics, refer to the S5000 data sheet: http://www.dell.com/us/enterprise/p/force10-s-series/pd.

CAUTION: ESD damage can occur if the components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or

heel ground strap when handling the S5000 and its components.

WARNING: When working with optical fibres, follow all the warning labels and always wear eye protection. Never

look directly into the end of a terminated or unterminated fibre or connector as it may cause eye damage.

Position the optic so it is in the correct position. The optic has a key that prevents it from being inserted incorrectly.

Insert the optic into the port until it gently snaps into place.

NOTE: Both rows of QSFP+ ports require that you install the 40GbE optics with the tabs facing up.

NOTE: When you cable the ports, be sure not to interfere with the airflow from the small vent holes above and

below the ports.

The S5000 supports splitting a single 40GbE QSFP+ port into four 10GbE SFP+ ports using one of the supported breakout

cables.

For a list of supported optics, refer to the S5000 data sheet: http://www.dell.com/us/enterprise/p/force10-s-series/pd.
