Setup Guide

WARNING: When working with optical fibers, follow all the warning labels and
always wear eye protection. Never look directly into the end of a terminated
or unterminated fiber or connector as it may cause eye damage.
1 Position the optic so it is in the correct position. The optic has a key that
prevents it from being inserted incorrectly.
2 Insert the optic into the port until it gently snaps into place.
NOTE: The top row of QSFP+ ports requires that you install the 40 GbE
optics with the tabs facing up. The bottom row of QSFP+ ports requires
that you install the 40 GbE optics with the tabs facing down.
NOTE: When you cable the ports, be sure not to interfere with the airflow
from the small vent holes above and below the ports.
Supply Power and Power Up the System
Dell Networking recommends reinspecting your system prior to powering up.
Connecting the power cable powers up the switch.
Verify that:
• The equipment is properly secured to the rack.
• The equipment rack is properly mounted and grounded.
• The ambient temperature around the unit (which may be higher than the room
temperature) is within the limits specified for the system.
• There is sufficient airflow around the unit.
• The input circuits are correctly sized for the loads and that you use sufficient
overcurrent protection devices.
• All protective covers are in place.
CAUTION
: ESD damage can occur if the components are mishandled. Always
wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the system
and its components.
Supply power to the system:
• Plug in the appropriate cord (AC 3 prong or DC wiring) from the switch PSU to
the external power source (either AC wall outlet or DC rack bus bar). Make sure
that the power cord is secure. When the cable is connected between the system
and the power source, the switch is powered up; there is no on/off switch.
• 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
