WARNING: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur when components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or footheal ground strap when handling chassis components. CAUTION: Before removing and replacing a power supply module, determine if the E300 is in full facility redundancy or non-redundant power. Operating in non-redundant power will require a complete system power off when removing and replacing a power supply.
Step 3 Task For bottom units, ensure that the EMI gasket along the edge of each power supply is compressed smoothly before securing each power supply into place using the captive screws. For top units, it may be necessary to lift the unit slightly to install the captive screws. As a best practise, insert the two captive screws of each power supply by hand before tightening them all. CAUTION: Tighten the screws with a #2 Phillips screwdriver.
NOTE: Please take precautions against over-tightening the screws or nuts on this device. Installing a DC PEM Step Task 1 Turn the remote power source (the circuit breaker panel) to the OFF position. 2 Turn the over current protector (located on the PEM front panel) to the OFF position. 3 Loosen the PEM safety cover retaining screw and remove the cover. 4 Slide the PEM into power slot 0 or 1.
Step Task 8 Replace the safety cover and tighten the captive screw with a #2 Phillips screwdriver. 9 Turn the Over Current Protector to the ON position. 10 Turn the remote power source (the circuit breaker panel) to the ON position. E600i AC Power Modules The E600i requires a minimum of two AC Power Supplies. Power Supply Input Minimum (N) Redundancy 220 VAC 3 N+1 100 VAC 2 N+1 The chassis has four power supply slots. You may install AC power supplies in any slot.
Step Task 3 Secure the power supply into place by tightening the two locking screws to 5 in-lbs. 4 Plug an AC power cord into the socket on the front of the unit: a Loosen the power cord retainer thumb screw. b Rotate the retainer clockwise away from the socket and plug the power cord into the socket. c Rotate the retainer counter clockwise over the power cord, and tighten the thumb screw to secure the power cord. 5 Plug the AC power cord into an AC outlet.
Step Task 3 Loosen the retaining screw and remove PEM safety cover. 4 Slide the backplane connector end of the PEM into Power Supply Slot 1 or 3. Secure the PEM to the chassis by tighten the two locking screws. E1200i AC Power Modules When installing the AC power supplies in the E1200i system, make note of the following: • E1200i ExaScale AC system: The E1200i AC system requires a minimum of 3 AC power supplies in a shelf (0, 1, 2 or 3, 4, 5) to operate.
Step Task 2 Loosen the cord retainers locking screws (if needed) and tilt the ACcord retainer up approximately 15 degrees and gently slide the cover away from the chassis. 3 Slide the power supplies into their slots until the module front is flush with the shelf front. 4 Connect the Power Supply cord to the designated socket. 5 Re-install the AC-cord Retainer by tilting approximately 15 degrees and gently sliding in the long edge just above the AC cords.
WARNING: An external disconnect shall be provided and shall be easily accessible. Dell Force10 recommends that you use a 150A circuit breaker. Use the following steps to install a DC PEM: Step Task 1 Make sure that the remote power source (the circuit breaker panel) is in the OFF position. 2 Make sure that the over-current protector (located on the PEM front panel) is in the OFF position. 3 Loosen the retaining screw and remove the PEM safety cover.
Step Task Check that the over-current protector (located on the PEM front panel) is in the OFF position. Energize the remote power source. The Voltage LED should be green. If it is amber, the -48 VDC and Return cables are connected incorrectly or are reversed. 8 Installing RPMs, Line Cards, and SFMs Unpacking Cards WARNING: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur when components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or footheel ground strap when handling RPMs, SFMs, or line cards.
Installing the RPMs and Line Cards CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous laser exposure. NOTE: Line cards are hot swappable. Step Task 1 Hold the card by the edges. Avoid touching the printed circuit board and connector pins. Extend the left and right card levers before you insert the card into the slot.
E600i RPMs The E300 system requires the installation of at least one RPM, although two are recommended for redundancy. RPMs are designed to be installed in either the R0 or R1 slot. Do not force RPMs into line card slots. RPMs are keyed differently than line cards to prevent improper installation. Line Cards Your E600i configuration requires a minimum of one line card. Line cards are hot swappable.
Step Task 1 Remove an SFM from the anti-static packaging. Hold the card by the edges. Avoid touching the printed circuit board and connector pins. Extend the card lever before you insert the card into the slot. 2 Align the SFM with the guide and gently slide it into the slot until you feel the connectors engage with the chassis backplane. 3 Rotate the lever to seat the backplane connectors and card in place. 4 Secure each SFM in place by tightening the captive screw.
Preparing and Installing RPMs and Line Cards To prolong the life of the EMI seals, begin installing cards in the right-most slot (slot 13), filling the slots leftward (slot 12, then slot 11, then slot 10, and so on). Step Task 1 Remove the line card from its box and carefully remove the line card from the anti-static packaging. 2 Align the RPM with the guide and gently slide it into the slot until you feel the connectors engage with the chassis backplane. NOTE: Hold the card by the edges.
Step Task 3 Rotate the lever to seat the backplane connectors and card in place. 4 Secure each SFM in place by tightening the captive screw. 5 Continue the process for the remaining SFMs. 6 Align any blank panels with the guides and gently slide toward the backplane. Secure each blank panel by tightening the single captive screw. Power Up Sequence WARNING: Make sure that the switch on the remote power source is in the OFF position until you are ready to supply power to the chassis.
Supplying Power Step Task 1 Energize the remote power source. 2 Flip the switch on the AC power supplies or DC PEM to the ON position. 3 In a DC PEM, the Status LED should be green. In an AC Power Supply, the top Input AC and Output LEDs should be green. If these LEDs are not lit or the Status LED is amber on a DC PEM, check that the unit is properly installed. Verify the power source. If the LEDs remain unlit, power off all modules and replace the unit. 4 The fan tray LED should be green (online).

Configure Layer 2 (Data Link) Mode Use the switchport command in INTERFACE mode to enable Layer 2 data transmissions through an individual interface. The user cannot configure switching or Layer 2 protocols such as the spanning tree protocol on an interface unless the interface has been set to Layer 2 mode. Step Task Command Syntax Command Mode 1 Enable the interface. no shutdown INTERFACE 2 Place the interface in Layer 2 (switching) mode.
Configure the Management Port IP Address Assign IP addresses to the management ports in order to access the system remotely. NOTE: Assign different IP addresses to each RPM’s management port. Step Task Command Syntax Command Mode 1 Enter INTERFACE mode for the interface Management port. ManagementEthernet slot/port CONFIGURATION 2 Assign an IPv4 or IPv6 address ip address {ipv4to the interface. address | ipv6address}/mask INTERFACE 3 Enable the interface.
Task Command Syntax Configure a username username username password and password to [encryption-type] password access the system remotely. Command Mode CONFIGURATION Configure the Enable Password The EXEC Privilege mode is accessed by the enable command. Configure a password as a basic security measure. When using a console connection, EXEC Privilege mode is unrestricted by default; it cannot be reached by a VTY connection if no password is configured.
When an interface is configured, a switchport automatically places it in the Default VLAN as an untagged interface. All switchports must belong to at least one VLAN, so to remove a switchport from the Default VLAN, you must place it as tagged or untagged in some other VLAN, or remove the switchport configuration. Task Command Syntax Command Mode Create a VLAN interface vlan vlan-id CONFIGURATION Display all VLANs.
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. Task Command Syntax Configure an IP address and mask on ip address ip-address the interface.
