  • Page 7: Installing The Hardware

    Ensure that there is adequate clearance surrounding the rack to permit access and airflow. The S50N and S50V chassis can be installed using several methods. This document describes the most common installation method: two-post rack. For information regarding other installation methods, refer to the Installing S50N and guide.
  • Page 8 Plated mating surfaces must be clean and free from contamination. Attach a Ground Cable to the S50N-DC Chassis The S50N-DC switches have two terminal blocks on the right side (instead of an AC receptacle) for two DC power supply inputs. The terminal block on the right, as you face the back of the chassis, is matched to the DC1 status LED on the front left of the switch and the left block is matched to the DC2 status LED.
  • Page 9 Install the SFP and XFP Optics The S50N and S50V each have four receptacles at the right end of their faceplates that accommodate 10/100/1000 SFP optical transceivers. A 10GbE module contains two ports. 10GbE modules should only be inserted or removed when the switch is powered down.
  • Page 10: Power-Up Sequence

    The rear of the S50N and S50V models have both an auto-sensing 110/220V AC receptacle and a standard -48V terminal-type DC connector. The rear of an S50N differs only in the arrangement of the lugs on its DC terminal block. Each system ships only with the AC power cord.
  • Page 11 AC Power For the S50V and S50N, to use AC only, connect the supplied AC power cord first to the switch (receptacle on the right as you face the PSU side of the chassis) and then to the power source. Connect the plug to the AC receptacle, making sure that the power cord is secure.
  • Page 12: Power Supplies

    Power Supplies On both the S50N and S50V, either the AC or DC power supplies alone are sufficient to power the switch. When both AC and DC power supplies are connected, they act in roughly a 60%/40% load-sharing mode. WARNING: To prevent electrical shock, make sure the system is grounded properly.

    Installing the Software Navigating CLI Modes The FTOS prompt changes to indicate the CLI mode. You must move linearly through the command modes, with the exception of the end command which takes you directly to EXEC Privilege mode; the exit command moves you up one command mode level.
  • Page 16 Step Task Install the RJ-45 copper cable that is shipped with the S50V system into the console port. CAUTION: You must install a straight-through RJ-45 copper cable (a standard Ethernet cable) into the console port. This is different from many other implementations that require an Ethernet crossover cable (or rollover cable).
  • Page 17: Default Configuration

    Table 2-1. Pin Assignments for Console Port Signal RJ-45 Pinout Default Configuration A version of FTOS is pre-loaded onto the chassis, however the system is not configured when you power up for the first time (except for the default hostname, which is Force10). You must configure the system using the CLI. Configure Layer 2 (Data Link) Mode Use the switchport command in INTERFACE mode to enable Layer 2 data transmissions through an individual interface.
  • Page 18: Access The System Remotely

    Access the System Remotely You can configure the system to be accessed remotely by Telnet. The S50N and S50V chassis do not have a dedicated management port. Configure any port on the chassis to be the port through which you manage the system and configure an IP route to that gateway.

    Assign Interfaces to a VLAN A port may either be an untagged member of a single VLAN, or a tagged member of perhaps multiple VLANs. • Untagged Ports — ports that do not append an 802.1Q VLAN tag to frames on egress, and do not accept tagged frames on ingress (tagged frames are dropped).
