    The S6000 System This chapter contains general features, capabilities, and physical configurations the S6000 supports. Introduction The S6000 is a fully featured switch/router one rack unit (RU) system that you can deploy as a spine, leaf, or top of rack (ToR) device where you require 10Gb and/or 40Gb connections. It contains 32 ports of 40G that you can use to create a configuration of 96 ports of 10G small form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+) (using breakout cables) and eight ports of 40G quad small form-factor pluggable (QSFP).

  • Page 10: Features

    In a data center network, the S6000 system provides converged network support and inter-operates with Dell and third-party network devices. The switch supports data center bridging (DCB) features and optimizes connectivity between servers using Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and internet small computer system interface (iSCSI) links.

  • Page 22: Unpacking Steps

    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 one 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.
