About this Guide 1 This guide provides site preparation recommendations and step-by-step procedures for rack mounting, installing and replacing pluggable modules, and connecting to a power source.
WARNING: The ESD Warning icon requires that you take electrostatic precautions when handling the device.
Introduction 2 This document provides basic information about the Dell PowerEdge FN I/O Aggregator, including how to install and perform the initial configuration. For information about how to configure and monitor switch features, refer to the Dell Networking OS Configuration Guide for the Dell PowerEdge FN I/O Aggregator, which is available on the Dell Support website at http://support.dell.com/manuals.
3 Unpack the Switch When unpacking each switch, make sure that the following items are included: • One Dell PowerEdge FN I/O Aggregator • One USB type A-to-DB-9 female cable • Getting Started Guide • Safety and Regulatory Information • Warranty and Support Information • Software License Agreement Unpacking Steps NOTE: Before unpacking the switch, inspect the container and immediately report any evidence of damage. 1.
Hardware Overview 4 This section contains information about device characteristics and modular hardware configurations for the Dell PowerEdge FN I/O Aggregator. I/O Panel All fixed data ports (4 × 1/10G uplink ports) are on the I/O panel. The I/O panel includes: • Four fixed data ports • USB Console port • USB Storage port • Light emitting diodes (LEDs) Figure 1.
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.
Figure 2. System LED Displays (I/O Panel) 1 – System Status LED 2 – System Power LED The following table lists the LED definitions for the aggregator. Table 1. System LED Displays System LED LED Color/ Display Description Power • • Green Off • • Power is being supplied to the switch. The switch does not have power. Status • • • Blue Off Amber • The switch is operating normally as a standalone switch or as a stack master. The switch is not the stack master.
5 Installation This switch installation procedure assumes the Dell PowerEdge FX2 server chassis is installed correctly. For complete instructions for installation, refer to the Dell PowerEdge FX2 server chassis Installation Guide. Before You Begin Before installing the switch, ensure that the chosen installation location meets the following site requirements: • Clearance — There is adequate front and back clearance for operator access. Allow clearance for cabling, power connections, and ventilation.
Installing and Configuring the Aggregator After you unpack the aggregator, refer to the following flowchart for an overview of the steps you must follow to install the switch and perform the initial configuration. Figure 3.
Installing the Aggregator in a PowerEdge Chassis After you unpack the aggregator, slide the switch into one of the open I/O module slots in the back of a Dell PowerEdge FX2 server chassis. The Dell PowerEdge FX2 server chassis is a 2U rack-mountable blade chassis that holds: • Server modules: Eight quarter-width sleds or four half-width sleds. • Switch modules: Two I/O aggregators or two pass-through modules.
To use the console port, you will need the following equipment: • VT100-compatible terminal, or a desktop, or a portable computer with a serial port running VT100 terminal emulation software, such as Microsoft HyperTerminal. • A serial cable (provided) with a USB type-A connector for the console port and DB-9 connector for the terminal. To connect a terminal to the switch console port, perform the following tasks: 1.
• Link tracking: Enables server-facing links to be brought up only if the uplink LAG is operationally up. • NPIV Proxy Gateway: The default port mode of 2 FC and 2 Ethernet ports in FN 2210S provides NPIV Proxy Gateway functionality. Stacking In the Dell PowerEdge FN I/O Aggregator, the FN 410S and FN 410T support stacking. The FN 2210S does not support stacking. The Aggregator supports both ring and daisy-chain topology and stacking of the same type.
Technical Specifications 6 The aggregator is an I/O module and installed with the Dell PowerEdge FX2 server chassis for communication. NOTE: Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type. Dispose of the batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions. Table 3.
