2 Install the Hardware Before installing the switch, verify that you meet these guidelines: • You have enough clearance to the front of the switch so you can read the light emitting diodes (LEDs). • The AC power cord reaches from the power outlet to the Utility panel connector. • The switch is rack-mounted before you power it up. • Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise, such as radios, power lines, and fluorescent lighting.
• Installing AC Power Supplies • Installing a Fan Module • Installing the SFP+ Optics • Supply Power and Power Up the System • After Installing the S3048–ON Install the Chassis To install the S3048–Open Networking (ON) system, Dell Networking recommends completing the installation procedures in the order presented here. NOTE: Always handle the system and its components with care. Avoid dropping the S3048–ON chassis or its field replaceable units.
• Elevated ambient temperature — If you install the equipment in a closed rack assembly, the operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the room ambient temperature. Use care not to exceed the 45°C maximum ambient temperature of the switch. • Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in the rack so that you do not compromise the amount of airflow required for safe operation of the equipment.
Installing the Dell ReadyRails System The ReadyRails rack mounting system is provided to easily configure your rack so that you can install your switch. Install the ReadyRails system using the 1U tool-less method or one of three possible 1U tooled methods (two-post flush mount, two-post center mount, or four-post threaded). 1U Tool-less Configuration (Four-Post Square Hole or Unthreaded Round Hole) To install the Dell ReadyRails system using the 1U tool-less configuration, follow these steps.
Figure 1. 1U Tool-less Configuration Two-Post Flush-Mount Configuration To install the Dell ReadyRails system using the two-post flush-mount configuration, follow these steps. 1 For this configuration, remove the castings from the front side of each ReadyRails assembly. Refer to item 1 in the following figure. Use a Torx driver to remove the two screws from each front flange ear (on the switch side of the rail) and remove each casting. Retain the castings for future rack requirements.
Figure 2. Two-Post Flush-Mount Configuration Two-Post Center-Mount Configuration To install the Dell ReadyRails system using the two-post center-mount configuration, follow these steps. 1 Slide the plunger bracket rearward until it clicks into place and secure the bracket to the front post flange with two user-supplied screws. Refer to item 1 in the following figure. 2 Slide the back bracket towards the post and secure it to the post flange with two user-supplied screws.
Figure 3. Two-Post Center-Mount Configuration Four-Post Threaded Configuration To install the Dell ReadyRails system using the four-post threaded configuration, follow these steps. 1 For this configuration, remove the flange ear castings from each end of the ReadyRails assemblies. Use a Torx driver to remove the two screws from each flange ear and remove each casting. Refer to item 1 of the following figure. Retain the castings for future rack requirements.
Figure 4. Four-Post Threaded Configuration Install the S3048-ON System You can mount the system in the 1U front-rack or 1U two-post (flush and center) configurations. The following is an example of a front-rack configuration. For the 1U two-post (flush and center) configurations, slide the system into the rails in the same manner as the four-post configurations. Installing a 1U Front-Rack You must configure the rails that are attached to the system.
Figure 5. Attaching the Switch Rails 2 After you have installed both switch rails, line them up on the previously mounted Ready-Rails and slide the switch in until it is flush with front of rack. About 3 inches before you fully insert your system, the rail locking feature engages to keep the switch from inadvertently sliding out of the rack and falling. NOTE: Do not the use the mounted Ready-Rails as a shelf or a workplace.
Figure 6. Installing the S3048 in a Front-Rack Configuration Attaching the Ground Cable (Optional) The S3048–ON requires one M4x0.7 screw for attaching a ground cable to the chassis. To properly ground the chassis, Dell Networking recommends a 6 AWG one-hole lug, #10 hole size, 63" spacing. The one-hole lug must be a UL-recognized, crimptype lug. NOTE: The rack installation ears are not a suitable grounding point. CAUTION: Grounding conductors must be made of copper. Do not use aluminum conductors.
NOTE: Coat the one-hole lug with an anti-oxidant compound prior to crimping. Bring any unplated mating surfaces to a shiny finish, and coat with an antioxidant prior to mating. Plated mating surfaces must be clean and free from contamination. 1 Cut the ground cable to the desired length. The cable length must facilitate the proper operation of fault interrupt circuits. Dell Networking recommends using the shortest cable route allowable. 2 Attach the one-hole lug to the chassis using an M4x0.
WARNING: Although the switch can run on one PSU, Dell Networking highly recommends using two PSUs for full redundancy and additional cooling. To avoid overheating when the switch is running with only a single PSU, Dell Networking recommends using PSU1 (on the left) and covering the second PSU slot opening (PSU2) with a blank plate. WARNING: ESD damage can occur if components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the S3048– ON and its components.
Figure 8. Install the AC Power Supply Unit 4 Attach the power cables from the switch PSU to the external power source. NOTE: The system is powered-up as soon as you connect the power cord between the system and the power source. 5 Repeat steps 1 through 3 for the second PSU. NOTE: Ensure that the PSU is correctly installed. When you correctly install the PSU, the power connector is on the left side of the PSU. Installing a Fan Module 1 Remove the fan module from the shipping box.
CAUTION: DO NOT mix airflow directions. All fans must use the same airflow direction (I/O to Utility or Utility to I/O). CAUTION: Check the fans at six-month intervals and replace them as necessary. To accurately determine replacement intervals, regularly monitor the speeds of the cooling fans. Installing the SFP+ Optics The S3048–ON has four small form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+) optical ports. For a list of supported optics, refer to the S3048–ON data sheet at www.dell.
NOTE: A country/region-specific AC power cable is included in the shipping container for powering up an AC power supply. You must order all other power cables separately. CAUTION: ESD damage can occur if the components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the S3048– ON and its components. 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.
temperature and/or particulate matter in the air might affect performance (for example, new equipment installation). After Installing the S3048–ON After you have securely installed and powered on the S3048-ON, to configure your system, refer to your ONIE-compatible operating system documentation.
3 Dell Networking OS To initially configure the Dell Networking operating system (OS), use the following sections. NOTE: This chapter applies ONLY if you already have the Dell Networking OS installed on your system from the factory. If you are installing a third-party OS, refer to your third-party OS documentation. NOTE: For complete installation and configuration information, refer to the following documents at www.dell.
Enter the Initial Configuration Information To set up the switch, assign an IP address and other configuration information necessary for the switch to communicate with the local routers and the Internet. The minimal configuration provided here does not cover most of the features; it simply allows you to perform other configuration tasks using a Telnet connection from your management network.
Accessing the Console The RS-232 console port is on the right-hand side of the S3048–ON system as you face the PSU side of the chassis, as shown in the following illustration. Figure 9. S3048–ON RS-232 Console Port 1 RS-232 Console Port NOTE: You must have a password configured on a virtual terminal line before you can Telnet into the S3048–ON system. Therefore, use a console connection when connecting to the system for the first time.
Accessing the RJ-45 Console Port with a DB-9 Adapter You can connect to the console using an RJ-45 to RJ-45 rollover cable and an RJ-45 to DB-9 female DTE adapter to a terminal server (for example, a PC). The pin assignments between the console and a DTE terminal server are as follows: Table 2.
Configuring Layer 2 (Data Link) Mode To enable Layer 2 data transmissions through an individual interface, use the switchport command in INTERFACE mode. NOTE: For detailed information about configuring Layer 2, refer to the Dell Networking Configuration Guide for the S3048-ON System. You cannot configure switching or Layer 2 protocols such as spanning tree protocol (STP) on an interface unless the interface has been set to Layer 2 mode. 1 Enable the interface.
Accessing the System Remotely You can configure the S3048–ON system to be accessed remotely by Telnet. The system has a dedicated management port and a management routing table that is separate from the IP routing table. 1 Configure an IP address for the management port (Configuring the Management Port IP Address). 2 Configure a management route with a default gateway (Configuring the Management Route). 3 Configure a username and password (Configuring the Username and Password).
• Configure a management route to the network from which you are accessing the system. CONFIGURATION mode management route ip-address/mask gateway Configuring the Username and Password To access the system remotely, configure a system username and password. • Configure a username and password to access the system remotely. CONFIGURATION mode username username password [encryption-type] Configuring the Enable Password Access EXEC Privilege mode using the enable command.
Creating a Port-based VLAN The default VLAN (VLAN 1) is part of the system startup configuration and does not require configuration. To configure a port-based VLAN, create the VLAN and then add physical interfaces or port channel (LAG) interfaces to the VLAN. • Configure a port-based VLAN (if the vlan-id is different from the Default VLAN ID) and enter INTERFACE VLAN mode. CONFIGURATION mode interface vlan vlan-id After you create a VLAN, assign interfaces in Layer 2 mode to the VLAN to activate the VLAN.
interface vlan vlan-id 2 Enable an interface to include the IEEE 802.1Q tag header. INTERFACE mode tagged interface — Enter the following keywords and slot/port or number information: • For a 1-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword GigabitEthernet then the slot/port information. • For a Port Channel interface, enter the keywords port-channel then a number. The range is from 1 to 128.
are in Layer 2 mode, use the show interfaces switchport command in EXEC Privilege mode or EXEC mode. Assigning an IP Address to a VLAN VLANs are a Layer 2 feature. For two physical interfaces on different VLANs to communicate, assign an IP address to the VLANs to route traffic between the two interfaces. The shutdown command in INTERFACE mode for a VLAN does not affect Layer 2 traffic on the VLAN. NOTE: You cannot assign an IP address to the Default VLAN, which, by default, is VLAN 1.
