The Avid default Dell Networking S60 switch configuration automatically detects whether modules are installed
or not. You do not need to modify your switch configuration for the addition of the stacking modules.
6. Plug in the two power cords to power on your switch.
The Avid switch configuration file automatically detects the 24 Gb modules. If you need to change your
switch configuration, see
“Accessing the Dell Networking Switch” on page 57.

When connecting the 10 Gb Ethernet clients, evenly divide the number of clients between the two switches so the
network load is spread across both switches.
Dell Networking S4810 Port Configuration
Avid ships the Dell Networking S4810 switch configured for an Avid ISIS | 5500 environment. This configuration
has specific requirements on where the Engines and clients need to be connected. The S4810 switch contains 48
dual-speed 1/10 Gb (SFP+) ports (as well as four 40 Gb QSFP+ uplinks not supported by Avid). The S4810
switch ports are numbered as shown in the following illustration. Engines and clients connect as follows:
• Avid ISIS | 5500 Engines connect via 10 Gb to ports 0 – 5 (these six ports are configured for 10 Gb
connections and require 10 Gb transceivers)
• Client connect to ports 6 – 47 (these 42 ports are configured for 1 Gb connections and require 1 Gb
transceivers, either optical or 1000BASE-T copper))
The Dell Networking S4810 Ethernet switches have been configured for all supported ISIS | 5500 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.
