Port Numbering Convention
Even-numbered ports are at the bottom of the I/O panel and for modules odd-numbered ports are at the
top of the I/O panel.
Figure 4. Port Numbering
The previous figure shows the fixed four 40GbE data ports (ports 48, 52, 56, and 60) and the four slots for
pluggable modules on the S5000 I/ O panel. You can also use the 40GbE ports in 4 × 10GbE mode.
The S5000 supports the following possible modules:
• 12-Port Ethernet Module (100MbE/1GbE/10GbE speeds, RJ-45 connector) (slot 0, 1, 2, or 3)
• 12-Port Ethernet Module (1GbE/10GbE speeds, SFP+ connector) (slot 0, 1, 2, or 3)
• 12-Port Unified Port Module (10GbE or 2Gb/4Gb/8Gb speeds for Fibre Channel, SFP+ connector) (slot
0)
The valid slot numbers are stack-unit numbers (from 0 to 11). The valid port numbers for each interface
type are:
• 100MbE: Ports 0 to 47
• 1GbE: Ports 0 to 47
• 10GbE: Ports 0 to 63
• 40GbE: Ports 48, 52, 56, and 60
• Fibre Channel: Ports 0 to 11
• Management: Port 0
System Status
You can view S5000 status information in several ways, including LEDs and through the CLI show
commands and with simple network management protocol (SNMP).
For more information about these options, refer to the Dell Networking OS Command Line Reference
Guide and Dell Networking OS Configuration Guide for the S5000 Switch.
As shown in the following figure, the S5000 includes LED displays on the I/O and Utility side of the
chassis. When the S5000 powers up or reloads, the status LED on the power supplies are solid green.
The following table lists the LED definitions for the S5000 system.
