About this Guide This document is intended as a Quick Start Guide to get new systems up and running and ready for configuration.
1 Installing the Hardware This guide assumes all site preparation has been performed before installing the chassis. Installing the Chassis To install the C150/300 chassis, Dell Networking recommends that you complete the installation procedures in the order presented below. NOTE: Unless stated otherwise, the installation instructions below apply to both the C150 and C300 chassis. Always handle the system and its components with care. Avoid dropping the switch or its field replaceable units.
Follow these steps to install the chassis into a 19-inch equipment rack: Step 6 Task 1 Determine the chassis mounting location in the equipment rack. 2 Orient the bar with the arrows pointing upward. The smooth side of the bar should face outward. 3 Attach the bar to the equipment rack brackets using the mounting screws provided by the rack manufacturer.
Step 5 Task Insert screws (provided with your rack) through the chassis rackmounting bracket and into the equipment rack, and tighten them.
Installing Power Modules CAUTION: Do not install the Power Supply 1200W-AC and Power Supply 1600W-AC in the same chassis. The line cards will power down and data may be lost. If there is a failure in the power supply, it must be replaced. Power supplies are not field serviceable. The C150 has six power supply slots at the front-bottom of the chassis. The C300 has eight power supply slots at the front-bottom of the chassis. The slots accept either AC Power Supplies (PSUs).
WARNING: Use only the AC power cord supplied with the AC power supply. Do not supply power to your system until the power supplies and fan tray are installed, and RPMs and line cards have been installed. WARNING: This product relies on the building's installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 15A U.S. (240 VAC, 10A international) is used on the phase conductors (all current-carrying conductors).
NOTE: The higher power of PoE+ (30W/port) is available only with Power Supply 1600W-AC and the PoE+ line card. When using PoE line card or PoE+ line card and Power Supply 1200W-AC, only 15.4W/port power is available. The maximum power per port is listed in the table below. PoE linecard Power Supply 1200W-AC Power Supply 1600W-AC at lowline (100-120V) Power Supply 1600W-AC at highline (200-240V) 15.4W/port 15.4W/port 15.4W/port 30W/port 30W/port PoE+ linecard 15.
CAUTION: RPMs are designed to be installed in either the R0 or R1 slot. Do not force RPMs into line cards slots. RPMs are keyed differently than line cards to prevent improper installation. Line Cards Line cards are hot-swappable. Any line card can be inserted into any line card slot. On the C150, line card slots are numbered 0 to 3. On the C300, Line card slots are labeled 0 to 7. The slot numbering labels can be seen when the fan tray is installed.
Step 3 Task Align the card with the guide, and gently slide it into any line card slot until the card is about halfway into the slot. NOTE: Use the markings on the fan tray to determine which slots are for the RPMs and which are for the line cards. 4 Continue sliding the card until you feel the connectors engage with the chassis backplane. 5 Rotate the levers toward the card to seat the backplane connectors and line card in place.
Step Task Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to secure the fan tray into place by tightening the screws at the top and bottom of the fan tray. 3 C150 0 1 R0 R1 2 3 fnD0003mp C300 0 1 2 3 R0 R1 4 5 6 7 fnC0003mp NOTE: The fan tray LED will remain lit when the chassis is powered up and the fan tray is functioning properly.
Power Up Sequence Before you supply power to the chassis, Dell Networking recommends that you re-inspect your equipment rack and chassis. CAUTION: Never operate the system without a fan tray. To supply power to the system: Step Task 1 Verify that the power source complies with the system input power requirements. 2 Energize the remote power source or outlet. 3 On the C150, toggle the switch on the AC power supplies to the ON (right) position.
When you supply power to the chassis, the system performs a series of power-on self tests. RPM and line card LEDs blink as the diagnostic programs run. No user interaction is required at this point. Observe the process on your console monitor. When the boot process is complete, the card LEDs remain online (green) and the console monitor displays the Command Line Interface (CLI) prompt.

2 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. Console Access The console port is an asynchronous serial port. If you connect a device to these ports, it must be capable of asynchronous transmission. Step Task 1 Install an RJ-45 copper cable into the console port.
Cable and Adapter Pin Assignments Use the console port on the RPM of the C150 or C300 to connect to a terminal port, PC serial port, or a terminal server to configure and monitor your system. An RJ-45 Ethernet cable is required to connect to the Ethernet port. The console port is an RJ-45 and the pinouts are listed in Table 2-1. Table 2-1.

Table 2-3.
Default Configuration A version of the Dell Networking 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 host name, which is Force10). You must configure the system using the Command Line Interface (CLI). Configure Layer 2 (Data Link) Mode Use the switchport command in INTERFACE mode to enable Layer 2 data transmissions through an individual interface.
The C150 and C300 systems have a dedicated management port and a management routing table that is separate from the IP routing table. Configuring the system for Telnet is a three-step process: Step Task 1 Configure an IP address for the management port. 2 Configure a management route with a default gateway. 3 Configure a username and password. Configure the Management Port IP Address Assign IP addresses to the management ports in order to access the system remotely.
Task Command Syntax Command Mode Configure an IPv4 or IPv6 management route {ipv4-address CONFIGURATION management route to the | ipv6-address}/mask gateway network from which you are accessing the system. Configure a Username and Password Configure a system username and password to access the system remotely. Task Command Syntax Configure a username username username password and password to [encryption-type] password access the system remotely.
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. When an interface is configured, a switchport automatically places it in the default VLAN as an untagged interface.
Step Task Command Syntax 1 Assign a switchport to a VLAN. 2 Display all switchports show vlan and the VLANs of which they are members. Command Mode [tagged | untagged] interface INTERFACE VLAN EXEC Privilege Assign an IP address to a VLAN NOTE: An IP address cannot be assigned to the Default VLAN, which, by default, is VLAN 1. To assign another VLAN ID to the Default VLAN, use the default vlan-id vlan-id command.
