Chapter 1 S25P System Overview The Force10 Networks S25P (Cat# S25-01-GE-24P) is a high performance, low cost, stackable, Layer 2 switch/Layer 3 router that supports 24 SFP (small form-factor pluggable) ports, four built-in 10/100/1000 Base-T ports, and up to four 10-Gigabit (10GbE) ports (XFP or CX4), in two expansion slots. As highlighted in Figure 1, the front panel of the S25P contains a status panel that displays activity of the XFP ports in the rear panel (Figure 2).
Equipment The following items are necessary to install the S25P system: • The switch • At least one grounded AC power source per S25P • One AC cable is included to connect the AC power source to the S25P (power cables are not supplied for the S25P-DC) • Bracket ears for rack installation (supplied) • Screws for rack installation (supplied) and #2 Phillips screwdriver (not supplied) Other optional components are: • Stacking cables for connecting S-Series switches in a stack • Optical networking components (s
System Status S25P status can be derived in several ways, including physical LED displays and boot menu options, both discussed here, along with CLI show commands,and SNMP traps. For details on those options, see the Command Reference and Configuration Guide for your software (FTOS or SFTOS). LED Displays As shown in Figure 1, the S25P front panel contains several sets of LEDs: • • • Stack ID: This is the LED at the far left of the front panel labeled “STACK ID”. See Stack ID in Table 3.
The following table describes the LED status indicators on the left side of the front panel.

Amber Error during boot-up. Off Unit is powered off. Green Power supply 1 is present and OK. Amber Power supply 1 is present but failed (option). Off Power supply 1 is not present.
Chapter 2 Site Preparation This chapter describes requirements and procedures to install your S25P system, in the following topics: • • • • • • • Site Selection Cabinet Placement on page 14 Rack Mounting on page 14 Fans and Airflow on page 14 Power on page 15 Storing Components on page 15 Tools Required on page 16 For detailed S25P specifications, refer to Chapter 5, S25P Specifications, on page 33. Note: Install the S25P into a rack or cabinet before installing any optional components.
Cabinet Placement The cabinet must meet the following criteria: • • Minimum cabinet size and airflow are according to the EIA standard. Minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) between the side intake and exhaust vents and the cabinet wall. Rack Mounting When you prepare your equipment rack, ensure that the rack is earth ground. The equipment rack must be grounded to the same ground point used by the power service in your area. The ground path must be permanent.
Power The S25P comes standard with two AC power supplies acting in load-sharing mode; see Figure 2 on page 9. Use the power cords shipped with the S25P to connect it to AC power outlets, ideally on separate circuits. Several versions of the power cord are available, based on country requirements. Caution: The power supply cord is used as the main disconnect device; ensure that the socket-outlet is located/installed near the equipment and is easily accessible.
Tools Required S-Series switches are shipped fully assembled, encased in foam. A utility knife is useful for cutting the packing tape, and a Philips #2 screwdriver is required for attaching rack screws, and is also used for making some attachments, including DC cables and rear cover plates. Warning: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur when components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the S25P and its accessories.
Chapter 3 Installing the S25P To install the S25P system, Force10 Networks recommends that you complete the installation procedures in the order presented in this chapter: • • • • • Inserting Optional Modules (10-Gigabit or Stacking) Installing the Switch on a Tabletop on page 19 Installing the Switch in a Rack or Cabinet on page 19 Stacking on page 24 Supplying Power on page 27 — S25P-DC on page 28 Warning: As with all electrical devices of this type, take all the necessary safety precautions to preven
To install a module, follow the steps below: Step 1 Task If the switch is on, save the running configuration, if desired (and different from the startup configuration) with the command write memory. Then power down the system by unplugging it from its power source. Caution: Removing a module from a running system will lock up the switch, requiring a power cycle. 2 Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to remove either a module faceplate or an existing module.
Installing the Switch on a Tabletop The S25P can be positioned on a stable tabletop. Four rubber standoffs are provided for that purpose in the plastic bag in the switch shipping box. Keep the following in mind when using a tabletop for your S25P: • • Ensure that your tabletop is stable and can handle the weight of the S25P or a stack of switches, if that is the case, along with any added external power supplies.
Four-Post Rack-mounting with Threaded Rails Ensure that there is adequate clearance surrounding the cabinet or rack to permit access and airflow. If you are installing two S25P switches side-by-side, position the two S25P chassis at least 5 inches (12.7 cm) apart to permit proper airflow. Follow the steps below to install a switch into a 4-post 19-inch equipment rack, using the attached front mounting brackets and the optional adjustable rear-mounting brackets.
Step 3 Task Set the adjustable rear mounting bracket to the length (one of three lengths) for your bracket. Secure the length with the four screws.

Four-Post Rack-mounting with Cage Nuts Ensure that there is adequate clearance surrounding the cabinet or rack to permit access and airflow. If you are installing two S25P systems side-by-side, position them at least 5 inches (12.7 cm) apart. Follow the steps below to install the S25P chassis into a four-post rack mounting with cage nuts. Step 1 Task Attach the two rear brackets to the side panels.
Step 4 Task Position the cage nuts over the holes on each bracket flange and each rack post. Figure 12 Four-Post Rack-mounting with Cage Nuts fn00147d_s25P Stac k ID AC1 XFP2 5 XFP2 6 Alar AC2 m 27 P28 S25-0 1-GE -24P 5 Align the rack filler panel to the rear bracket and rack posts. Secure by inserting two screws into the hole in the filler panel through to the holes in the rack post.
Stacking You can add units to a stack, remove them, renumber them, or move them in the stack. The units can continue running in the stack as you add new units, but new units should be powered down during the connection. All units in a stack must run the same version of FTOS. If you attempt to attach a unit with a different FTOS version to an existing stack, the CLI will display an error, and the unit will not be added until you install identical software.
Using FTOS Stacking Commands While the S-Series hardware has built-in stacking controls, you can use FTOS to manage stacking, such as assign unit IDs, influence the management unit (master unit) selection algorithm, pre-configure a unit to be added to a stack, etc. The following commands provide a sample of that functionality: • • • • • • Use the stack-unit unit priority 1-14 command to configure the ability of an S-Series switch to become the management unit of a stack.
While the diagram, above, shows A-B port connections, the ports are bi-directional, so you can connect A to A and/or B to B, as shown below in examples of two-switch (Figure 16 on page 26) and three-switch (Figure 17 on page 27) ring topologies. Figure 15 shows the use of 24G stacking ports in each of the two rear modules to create a ring. Of course, this topology does not allow the use of the rear modules for XFP ports.
Connecting Three Switches Force10 recommends the ring topology, as outlined above (Figure 14 on page 25), for stacking S-Series switches, providing redundant connectivity. Using the example of three switches in the stack (Figure 16): 1 Starting with the switch at the bottom of the stack, insert one end of the first cable into Stack Port A. 2 3 4 Insert the other end of the first cable into Stack Port A of the middle switch. Insert the second cable into Stack Port B of the middle and top switches.
Connect the supplied AC power cord first to either receptacle of the S25P (on the right as you face the rear of the chassis) and then to the power source (see Power Requirements on page 34). Ensure that the cord is secure. If you connect both AC power supplies, ideally you would connect them to separate circuits. S25P-DC As shown below (see also Figure 4 on page 15), the S25P-DC (cat. name S25-01-GE-24P-DC) has two DC terminal blocks on the left side (as you face the front of the switch).
Chapter 4 Installing Ports This chapter contains these major sections: • • Accessing the Console Port Installing Optics on page 30 — Installing SFPs on page 31 — Installing XFPs on page 32 Accessing the Console Port Connect the RJ-45/DB-9 adapter that is shipped with the S25P system to the RJ-45 cable.
Step Task (Continued) 2 If necessary, connect the RJ-45/DB-9 adapter that is shipped with the S25P system to the end of the RJ-45 cable that will connect to your terminal. 3 Verify your terminal default settings match the default settings, as listed above, on the console port: 4 If you use the console port to download software to the switch, you will probably want to raise the console baud rate. Establish a connection with the default settings to verify the connection.
Installing SFPs Note: Starting with FTOS 7.8.1.0, when a copper SFP2 module with catalog number GP-SFP2-1T is used in the S25P switch, the SFP speed can be manually set with the speed command. When the speed is set to 10 or 100 Mbps, the duplex command can also be executed. To install an SFP transceiver into an open optical port at the right front of the switch, use the follow steps: Warning: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur if components are mishandled.
Installing XFPs To install an XFP into one of the two ports in the optional 10GbE optical module (see Inserting Optional Modules (10-Gigabit or Stacking) on page 17) on the back of the switch, follow the procedure below: Warning: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur if components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the S25P and its components. Warning: Do not look directly into any optical port.
