Install Guide

Power Supplies

The Dell PowerEdge FX2 server chassis supports two hot-swappable power supply units (PSUs).

NOTE: You must install the PSUs at your site.

PSUs are field-replaceable. To ensure power redundancy and adequate cooling, install two power

supplies in the switch. When running with full redundancy (two PSUs installed and running), you can

remove and replace a PSU while the other PSUs are running without disrupting traffic.

Fans

The Dell PowerEdge FX2 server chassis supports eight fan trays.

NOTE: You must install the fans at your site.

Port Numbering

When installed in a server enclosure, the Dell PowerEdge FN I/O Module ports are numbered from 1 to

12. Ports from 1 to 8 are internal server-facing ports. Ports from 9 to 12 are external ports numbered from

the left to the right of the switch.

The following three types of stock keeping units (SKUs) are supported with the external interfaces on the

front:

• FN 410S (4x10G SFP+)

• FN 410T (4x10G Base-T)

• FN 2210S (4x10G Combo ports with Ethernet and Fibre Channel)

The properties of the Combo card are:

• Ports 9 and 10 are fibre channel (FC) type and support 8 Gigabit FC, by default.

• Ports 11 and 12 are Ethernet type and support 10 Gigabit Ethernet, by default.

• To convert ports 9 and 10 to Ethernet type, use stack-unit <> portgroup 0 port-mode

ethernet command.

To configure a port, specify the slot (from 0 to 5; default: 0) and port number (from 1 to 12) in the

interface port-type slot/port command, where slot is the unit number of the FN I/O Module

displayed in the show system brief command. For example:

Dell(conf)# interface tengigabitethernet 0/4

System Status

You can view the device status information in several ways, including LEDs and boot menu options.

You can also view status information through the show commands and with the simple network

management protocol (SNMP).The switch includes LED displays as shown in the following figure.
