    Installing the Chassis in a Rack or Cabinet To install the S25N, S25V, or S25P system, Dell Force10 recommends that you complete the installation procedures in the order presented below. NOTE: Unless stated otherwise, the installation instructions below apply to the S25N, S25V, and S25P systems.
  • Page 8 Step Task Dell Force10 recommends that one person hold the chassis in place while a second person attaches the brackets to the posts. Position the unit in the rack. Secure the unit with two of the supplied screws through each bracket and onto the rack post.
  • Page 9: Installing Sfps

    CAUTION: Before connecting a transceiver to a source, check the receive power of the transceiver with an optical power meter. Generally, Dell Force10 specified optics are not to be subjected to receive power higher than that stipulated by the optic specification. If the optic is exposed to optical power in excess of the specification, there is a high likelihood that it will be damaged.

    AC power supply. All other power cables must be ordered separately. S25N The S25N has two AC receptacles in the PSU side of the unit. The system can use either power source independently, or act in load-sharing mode.
  • Page 13 Step Task Connect the -48 V and -48 V RTN (Return) cables to the switch terminals and then to the remote power sources. Replace the safety covers on the DC terminal block. S25P The S25P has two AC power supplies acting in load-sharing mode or can be used independently.
  • Page 14: Power Supplies

    Power Supplies On the S25N, S25V, and S25P systems, 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.

    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 18 Step Task Install the RJ-45 copper cable that is shipped with the 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 19 Step Task Set your initial console terminal settings to match the default console settings on the switch. 9600 baud rate No parity 8 data bits 1 stop bit No flow control (console port only) After establishing a connection, you can modify the settings to match at each end of the connection.
  • Page 20: Default Configuration

    Default Configuration A version of the Dell Force10 Operating System (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 Command Line Interface (CLI).
  • Page 21 The S25N, S25V, and S25P systems do not have a dedicated management port, nor a separate management routing able. Configure any port on one of the chassis to be the port through which you manage the system and configure an IP route to that gateway.

  • Page 23: Create A Vlan

    Create a VLAN The Default VLAN is part of the system startup configuration, and is by default, VLAN 1. You may make another VLAN the Default VLAN. The Default VLAN cannot be deleted, disabled, or configured (you cannot assign it an IP address), and only untagged interfaces can belong to it.
