Supplying Power; Where Do I Go From Here - Dell Force10 S2410-01-10GE-24P Manual

Supplying Power

NOTE: The power supply cord is used as the main disconnect device; ensure that the socket-outlet is located/
installed near the equipment and is easily accessible.
Both S2410 models (S2410CP and S2410P) provide built-in dual AC power supplies. Only one power
supply is needed for the unit to operate. However, if both power supplies are connected, the S2410 uses
power from both power supplies in load-sharing mode. There are no DC power or backup power options.
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 2-2 on page 7, making sure the cords are secure. Connecting either power cord to power starts the
system (no on/off switch).
Power supply replacement is not offered as an option in the field.
NOTE: The AC receptacles are labeled A and B, matched to the PSU A and PSU B status LEDs on the face
of the S2410. Labeling the power cords A and B can help in a diagnostic situation.

The S2410 is unique among S-Series switches in several aspects:
• It has no stacking functionality.
• It has a dedicated Ethernet Management port (commonly called the service port), in addition to the
standard console port and virtual management Ethernet port on VLAN 1.
• It has no optional modules.
• It uses only the SFTOS 2.4.1.x software release.

preferences, ports, and alternative management interfaces.
Whether you have an S2410P, which contains 24 XFP ports, or an S2410CP, which contains four XFP
ports, you need to install XFP transceivers (not included with the switch) before connecting the optical
cables. See Accessing XFP Ports on page
