The S6000 Switch | 13
NOTE: When one of the FAN LEDs on the utility side indicates failure, the fan LED on the I/O panel displays yellow.
The S6000 supports splitting a single 40G QSFP+ port into four 10G SFP+ ports using one of the
supported breakout cables. A maximum of 13 ports can be made fanout in each of the ranges from 0 to 63
and from 64 to 127, thereby making the other three ports disabled after reload. You can enable the fanout
feature by using the stack-unit port mode command in CONFIGURATION mode.
Starting with Dell Networking OS version 9.4(0.0), you can configure up to a maximum of one-hundred
four10G ports on an S6000.
QSFP+ ports have eight LEDs associated with each stack of two ports; four for the top and four for the
bottom ports. You can configure each port as a single 40G port or four 10G ports. When configured as a
40G port, only the first of the four LEDs is used. When configured as four 10G ports, all four LEDs are
used to indicate the status.
