Dell Networking S25 Switch Modules
The Dell Networking S25 switch has two expansion slots in the back of the switch, into which you can insert
either a dual port 10 Gb Ethernet module or 12 Gb stacking modules. The 10 Gb module provides a 10 Gb
Ethernet connection between the Avid ISIS | 5500 Engine and the switch. The 12 Gb module is for stacking two
Dell Networking switches, one module is needed in each switch. Modules are ordered separately and can install in
either slot on the back of the Dell Networking switch. The Dell Networking S25 switches support up to four
Engines with two 10 Gb Ethernet modules in a single switch or two 10 Gb Ethernet modules in stacked switches.

All Dell Networking switches are shipped from Avid with a switch configuration file that supports the
switch configurations documented in this guide. Avid recommends you install optional switch modules
before you turn on the switch for the first time. The appropriate switch configuration is read during
power-up. If you install or remove switch modules after turning on the switch, and have not changed the
Avid switch configuration, the Avid configuration automatically adjusts to the changes. If you have
modified the switch configuration in any way, see “Restoring the Avid Dell Networking Configuration” on
page 59.
The Dell Networking S25 Ethernet switch has been configured for all supported Avid ISIS | 5500 and ISIS 5000
configurations. After setting up the switch, the proper configuration is detected at power on. For more information
on the Dell Networking switch see
“Accessing the Dell Networking Switch” on page 57.

The Dell Networking S25N and S25P (fiber) switches have the same design configuration. All the setup and
configuration information in this guide applies to both models, the only difference is the S25P uses 1 Gb optical
Ethernet ports in place of 1 Gb copper Ethernet ports. The S25N offers four shared 1 Gb SPF optical ports; when
these four ports are used (21 – 24), the copper Ethernet ports with the same port numbers are disabled. For more
information, see the manufacturer’s documentation.
