NOTE: Both rows of QSFP+ ports require that you install the 40GbE optics with the tabs facing up. NOTE: When you cable the ports, be sure not to interfere with the airflow from the small vent holes above and below the ports. Splitting QSFP+ Ports to SFP+ Ports The S5000 supports splitting a single 40GbE QSFP+ port into four 10GbE SFP+ ports using one of the supported breakout cables. For a list of supported optics, refer to the S5000 data sheet: http://www.dell.com/us/enterprise/p/force10-s-series/pd.
• • Stacking ports are divided into 16 stack-groups (0 to 15). Each set of four 10GbE ports on an Ethernet module or each fixed 40GbE port on the front panel correspond to a stack group. Each stack group has 40GbE of bandwidth. When a stack-group number is assigned, the ports associated with that group are configured as stacking ports. – stack-group 0 = ports 0–3, stack-group 1 = ports 4–7, stack-group 2 = ports 8–11, and so on through stack-group 11 = ports 44–47.
Connecting Two S5000 Systems To provide backup connectivity and increased data transfer between the systems, Dell Networking recommends inserting an additional cable between the two units, in a second stacking port. You can use any of the SFP+ or QSFP+ ports for stacking, provided it is configured as a stacking port. CAUTION: The S5000 does not require special stacking cables. The cables used to connect 10GbE and 40GbE data ports are sufficient.
3. Insert the second cable into stack port 60 of chassis 2 (center) and port 56 of chassis 3 (top). 4. Use the third cable to connect the top and bottom units by inserting one end of the cable into stack port 56 on chassis 1 (bottom) and the other end of the cable into stack port 60 on chassis 3 (top). Figure 26. Three S5000s Connected in a Ring Supplying Power and Powering Up the System Supply power to the S5000 system after the chassis is mounted in a rack or cabinet.
When the system powers up, the fans come on at high speed. The fan speed slows as the system boots up. The power status LED blinks until the boot-up sequence is complete. When the boot up is complete, the power status LED is steadily lit. AC Power CAUTION: Ensure that the PSU is installed correctly. The AC power connector must be on the left side of the PSU and the status LED at the top of the PSU. Connect the plug to each AC power connector. Make sure that the power cord is secure.
