S2410 system, including the S2410CP and S2410P. After you have completed the hardware installation and power-up of the S2410, refer to the SFTOS™ Configuration Guide for the S2410 for software configuration information and the SFTOS Command Reference, Version 2.4 for detailed Command Line Interface (CLI) information.

System Status on page 9 Physical Interfaces The Force10 Networks S2410 is a Layer 2 switch that is available in two models — the S2410CP and the S2410P. The primary difference is that the S2410P contains 24 built-in 10-gigabit Ethernet (10G) XFP ports, while the S2410CP contains 20 built-in 10G BaseCX4 ports and four 10G XFP ports.
The following items are necessary to install the S2410 system: • Two grounded AC power sources • At least one cable (included) to connect the power source to the S2410 AC power supply • Brackets and screws (included) for front-mounted rack installation (#2 Phillips screwdriver required but not included) •...
System Status S2410 status data can be derived in several ways, including physical LED displays, discussed next, along show with boot menu options, CLI commands, SNMP traps, and the SFTOS Web User Interface. For details on those options, see the S2410 Quick Reference, the SFTOS Command Reference (SFTOS 2.4), and the SFTOS Configuration Guide (SFTOS 2.4).

Note: Install the S2410 into a rack or cabinet before installing any optional components. Site Selection Make sure that the area where you install your S2410 chassis meets the following safety requirements: • Near an adequate power source. Connect the system to the appropriate branch circuit protection as defined by your local electrical codes.
As listed in Table 2, “Status Panel LED Display,” on page 9, the front panel of the S2410 has an Alarm LED that includes alarms for fan problems and out-of-range temperatures. The LED is amber when the temperature or components are outside expected parameters, red in a major alarm.
Both S2410 models (S2410CP and S2410P) provide built-in dual AC power supplies. Ideally, the power sources would be on separate circuits. While only one power supply is needed for the unit to operate, if both power supplies are connected, the power supplies act as redundant backups and do some load sharing, although the sharing is not necessarily equal.
Installing the S2410 S2410 systems have no stacking or other optional modules, so, to install the S2410 system, you can simply install the system on a tabletop, in a rack, or in a cabinet, turn it on, and then connect ports. The following options are discussed in this chapter: •...
Figure 3 shows the positioning of the rack ears and screws. Note that the rack ears supplied with the S2410 have a hole in the middle to accommodate the vent in the S2410. Figure 3 Attaching Rack Ears to Switch...
Site Preparation, on page 11). If you are installing two S2410 systems side-by-side, position the two S2410 chassis at least 5 inches (12.7 cm) apart to permit proper airflow. Position the S2410 chassis in the rack (attach the rack ears first, using only the supplied screws; see Attaching the Rack Ears on page 16).
Attach the rack ears first, using only the supplied screws (see Attaching the Rack Ears on page 16), and then follow the steps below to install the S2410 chassis into a four-post 19-inch equipment rack, using the attached front mounting brackets and the optional adjustable rear-mounting brackets. Step...

Step Task Insert the S2410 into the rack, and secure the chassis to the front post with two screws. Then secure the chassis to the rear posts with two screws. Set the adjustable rear mounting bracket to the length (one of three lengths) for your bracket. Secure the length with the four screws.
Attach the rack ears first, using only the supplied screws (see Attaching the Rack Ears on page 16), and then follow the steps below to install the S2410 chassis into a four-post rack mounting with cage nuts. Step Task Attach the two rear brackets to the side panels. Align the three holes in the bracket with the three holes on the S2410 chassis, and secure the brackets to the chassis using the screws.

Position the cage nuts over the holes on each bracket flange and each rack post. Align the rack filler panel to the rear bracket and rack posts. Secure by inserting two screws into the hole in the filler panel through to the holes in the rack post. Installing the S2410 System...
The power cords shipped by default with the S2410 chassis are for the United States. Several versions of the power cord are available, based on country requirements. Connect the power cord plugs to the AC receptacles at each rear corner of the S2410, as shown in Figure 2 on page 7, making sure the cords are secure.

Using any cable that is not approved by Force10 might cause interface errors and/or have issues with mechanical fit. CX4 cables are not included with the S2410, but Force10 has certified cables to use with the S2410.

All ports except the dedicated Ethernet Management port in the S2410P use XFP transceivers, and the S2410CP includes four XFP ports. Each XFP port requires an XFP transceiver (not included in the S2410 chassis shipping box), which is a small rectangular module (see...
Load balancing and redundant AC power Both the S2410CP model and the S2410P have two AC inputs that connect to separate sets of power modules for 1+1 redundancy. IEEE Standards The S2410 complies with the following IEEE standards: • 802.1ac Frame Extension for VLAN tagging •...
