PSUs are required for full redundancy, but the system can operate with a single PSU. NOTE: If you use a single PSU, install a blank plate in the other PSU slot. Dell Networking recommends using power supply 1 (PSU1) as the blank plate slot. -
Page 12: Fans
WARNING: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur if components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the S6000 and its components. CAUTION: To prevent electrical shock, ensure the S6000 is grounded properly. If you ground your equipment correctly, excessive emissions may result. -
Page 13: System Status
System Status You can view S6000 status information in several ways, including LEDs and boot menu options. You can also view status information through the command line interface (CLI) show commands and with simple network management protocol (SNMP). For more information about these options, refer to the FTOS Command Line Reference Guide and FTOS Configuration Guide for the S6000 System. - Page 14 1 - Serial Console 2 - Master LED 3 - Power LED 4 - Fan Status LED 5 - Locator LED 6 - Stack ID 7 - USB-A 8 - USB-B Console 9 - Management Table 3-1 lists the LED definitions for the S6000 system.

- Page 16 The S6000 supports splitting a single 40G QSFP+ port into four 10G SFP+ ports using one of the supported breakout cables. When you use the fanout feature, the 40G QSFP+ port is deleted and four10G SFP+ ports are created. QSFP+ ports have eight LEDs associated with each stack of two ports; four for the top and four for the bottom ports.

Page 19: Rack Mount The Switch
You may either place the switch on the rack shelf or mount the switch directly into a 19" wide, EIA-310-E-compliant rack (four-post, two-post, or threaded methods). The Dell ReadyRails™ system is provided for 1U front-rack, and two-post installations. The ReadyRails system includes two separately packaged rail assemblies and two rails that are shipped attached to the sides of the switch. -
Page 20: Installing The Dell Readyrails System
Do not mount the equipment with the rear panel facing in the downward position. Installing the Dell ReadyRails System The ReadyRails rack mounting system is provided to easily configure your rack for installation of your switch. You can install the ReadyRails system using the 1U tool-less method or one of three possible 1U tooled methods (two-post flush mount, two-post center mount, or four-post threaded). - Page 21 Figure 4-1. 1U Tool-less Configuration 2 Align and seat the front flange pegs in the holes on the front side of the vertical post. Refer to Figure 4-1, item 2. 3 Repeat this procedure for the second rail. 4 To remove each rail, pull on the latch release button on each flange ear and unseat each rail.
- Page 22 Two-Post Flush-Mount Configuration: 1 For this configuration, remove the castings from the front side of each ReadyRails assembly. Refer to Figure 4-2, item 1. Use a Torx driver to remove the two screws from each front flange ear (on the switch side of the rail) and remove each casting.
- Page 23 Two-Post Center-Mount Configuration: 1 Slide the plunger bracket rearward until it clicks into place and secure the bracket to the front post flange with two user-supplied screws. Refer Figure 4-3, item 1. Figure 4-3. Two-Post Center-Mount Configuration 2 Slide the back bracket towards the post and secure it to the post flange with two user-supplied screws.

Page 24: Installing The Switch
Figure 4-4. Four-Post Threaded Configuration Installing the Switch You can mount the switch in the 1U front-rack or 1U two-post (flush and center) configurations. The following is an example of a 1U front-rack configuration. For the 1U two-post (flush and center) configurations, slide the switch into the rails in the same manner as the four-post configurations. - Page 25 Figure 4-5. Attaching the Switch Rails 2 After you install both switch rails, line them up on the previously mounted Ready-Rails and slide the switch in until it is flush with front of rack. About three inches prior to full insertion, the rail locking feature engages to keep the switch from inadvertently sliding out of the rack and falling.

Page 31: Default Configuration
Default Configuration A version of FTOS is pre-loaded onto the S6000 system; however, the system is not configured when you power up for the first time (except for the default host name, which FTOS ). You must configure the system using the CLI. Configuring Layer 2 (Data Link) Mode To enable Layer 2 data transmissions through an individual interface, use the switchport command in INTERFACE mode. -

Assigning an IP Address to a VLAN VLANs are a Layer 2 feature. For two physical interfaces on different VLANs to communicate, assign an IP address to the VLANs to route traffic between the two interfaces. The shutdown command in INTERFACE mode does not affect Layer 2 traffic on the interface. - Page 37 Printed in the U.S.A. www.dell.co m | sup po r t.de ll.c om...
