Introduction
This document provides basic information about the S5000 switch, including how to install the switch
and perform the initial configuration.
For information about how to configure and monitor switch features, refer to the FTOS Configuration
Guide for the S5000 Switch, which is available on the Dell Support website at http://www.dell.com/
support/manuals.
Product Description
The S5000 is part of Dell Networking's S-Series switches for Data Center Top of Rack (ToR) switches.
The S5000 is purpose-built to provide architectural flexibility for unified and virtualized environments. It is
a 10G ToR solution that enables converged local area networks (LAN) and storage area networks (SAN) in
the same box. The S5000 delivers Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and Fibre Channel (FC) capability in
a one rack unit (RU) ToR switch form factor.
The S5000 supports Data Center Bridging (ETS/PFC/DCBX), FCoE Transit (FIP Snooping), NPIV Proxy
Gateway (NPG), FC Fabric services (zoning, name server, login server, FSPF, and so on), and Internet small
computer system interface (iSCSI) storage traffic. The S5000 also provides aggregation and convergence
functionality using pluggable modules for flexible configuration.
Unpacking the Switch
The S5000 and its accessories are shipped in multiple boxes. Before unpacking the switch, inspect the
container and immediately report any evidence of damage. Verify that you have received your ordered
items. For example, if you order one S5000 switch, the following items are included.
WARNING: If any item is missing or damaged, contact your Dell Networking representative or
reseller for instructions.
WARNING: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur if components are mishandled.
Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the S5000 and its
components.
