Optical Transceivers And Cabling Installation; Port-Side Leds - Dell MXG610s Setup Manual

2. Disable any serial communication programs running on the workstation such as synchronization programs.
3. Open a terminal emulator application such as PuTTY, XShell, or SecureCRT on a Windows PC, or TERM, TIP, or C-Kermit in
a LINUX environment. Configure the application as follows:
● In a WIndows environment, use the following values:
○ Bits per second—9600
○ Databits—8
○ Parity—None
○ Stop bits—1
○ Flow control—None; must be disabled on the host side
NOTE: Flow control is not supported on the serial connection when attached to a remote terminal. You must disable
flow control on the customer-side remote terminal server in addition to the host-side clients.
● In a UNIX environment using TIP, enter tip /dev/ttyb -9600. at the prompt.
● If you are already using ttyb, use ttya instead and enter tip /dev/ttya -9600 at the prompt.
4. Press enter when the terminal emulator application stops reporting information to display the login prompt.

characters, the period (.), and the underscore (_) only. Passwords are case-sensitive, and do display when you enter
them on the command line.

Optical transceivers and cabling installation

NOTE: When cabling SFP+ optical transceivers, start with port 0, then port 17, and then the other ports.
To insert the optical transceivers and the cable connections:
1. Insert the optical transceiver in an external port on the switch module until it is firmly seated and the latching mechanism
clicks.
Transceivers are keyed to ensure correct orientation. If a transceiver does not install easily, ensure that it is correctly
oriented.
2. Insert the fiber optic cable in the SFP+ or QSFP optical transceiver until the latching mechanism clicks.
Cable connectors are keyed to ensure correct orientation. If a cable connector does not install easily, ensure that it is
correctly oriented.
For instructions specific to a cable type, see the cable manufacturer's documentation.

Port-side LEDs

Each switch module uses bicolored external LEDs to indicate operation status.
