Install the S5000 Chassis in a Rack or Cabinet To install the S5000 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 S5000 chassis or its field replaceable units. NOTE: For proper ventilation, position the S5000 chassis in an equipment rack (or cabinet) with a minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) of clearance around exhaust vents.
Rack Mounting Safety Considerations You may either place the switch on the rack shelf or mount the switch directly into a 19" wide, EIA-310-E- compliant rack. • Rack loading — Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in shelf or rack failure, which may damage equipment and cause possible personal injury. Stabilize racks in a permanent location before loading begins. Mount the components beginning at the bottom of the rack, then work to the top. Do not exceed your rack load rating.
Figure 10. Front Rack Installation 1. Screws 2. 4–Post Rack or Cabinet 3. Mounting Bracket Rack Grounding When you prepare your equipment rack, ensure that the rack is earth ground. You must ground the equipment rack to the same ground point the power service uses in your area. The ground path must be permanent. Important Points to Remember for Installing an Ethernet Module • Installing and swapping of Ethernet modules must be done BEFORE power up.
NOTE: A blue color release latch indicates that the Ethernet module does not support hot swapping during switch operations. Instead, you must power down the switch before removing and replacing an Ethernet module. A red color release latch indicates that the Ethernet module supports hot swapping during switch operations. Figure 11. Part name and Port number on the Ethernet Module Handle 1. Part Name 2. Port Number Installing an Ethernet Module 1.
Figure 12. Installing an Ethernet Module 1. Release latch 2. Ethernet Module Important Points to Remember for Installing a Fibre Channel Module • You must insert the Fibre Channel module only in slot 0. • Installing and swapping of Fibre Channel modules must be done BEFORE power up. If you need to install or replace a module, power down the system before you install or replace it. If you install or replace a module when the system is powered up, the system does not recognize the module.
NOTE: The part name and port number of a Fibre Channel module are inscribed on the handle as shown below. Figure 13. Part name and Port number on the Fibre Channel Module Handle 1. Part Name 2. Port Number Installing a Fibre Channel Module 1. Use the grab handle on the Fibre Channel module to slide it into the switch module slot. 2. Connect any network interface cables to the attached module.
Figure 14. Installing a Fibre Channel Module 1. Release latch 2. Fibre Channel Module Important Points to Remember for Installing an AC Power Supply • The PSU slides into the slot smoothly. Do not force a PSU into a slot as this action may damage the PSU or the S5000 chassis. • The S5000 supports AC and DC power supplies with two air-flow directions (I/O to Utility and Utility to I/O).
CAUTION: DO NOT mix airflow directions. The airflow directions are color coded. A red label indicates that hot air is expelled from the PSU and a blue label indicates that hot air is expelled from the I/O. Both power supplies must use the same airflow direction (I/O to Utility or Utility to I/O). The power supplies and fans must have the same color strap.
Figure 16. Connecting AC Power Supply Cords 1. AC3 Prong NOTE: The system is powered-up as soon as you connect the power cord between the system and the power source. CAUTION: Always disconnect the power cable before you service the power supply slots. CAUTION: Use the power supply cord as the main disconnect device on the AC system. Ensure that the socket-outlet is located/installed near the equipment and is easily accessible. 4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 above using the second PSU.
Figure 17. Assembling and Connecting the Safety Ground Wire For DC Power Supply 1. Safety ground wire 2. Grounding post 3. Locking washer 4. Spring washer 5. #6–32 nut Important Points to Remember for Installing a DC Power Supply • When using DC power supply, peel off the DC electrical label and place it on the main regulatory label found on the bottom of the S5000 chassis. Position this label over the AC electrical ratings within the dashed outline. • The PSU slides into the slot smoothly.
WARNING: The PCB edge connector is at the bottom of the switch. Avoid installing the switch upside down. WARNING: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur if components are mishandled. Always wear an ESDpreventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the S5000 and its components. CAUTION: DO NOT mix airflow directions. The airflow directions are color coded. A red label indicates that hot air is expelled from the PSU and a blue label indicates that hot air is expelled from the I/O.
WARNING: To protect the power supply from electrostatic discharge, you must cover the captive screws with the rubber cap before inserting the mating connector into the power supply. 5. Rotate the rubber cap clockwise to fix it over the captive screws. 6. Insert the mating connector into the power supply. Figure 19. Assembling the DC Input Power Wires 1. 2. 3. 4.

Bend the system power cables, as shown in the following illustration, and attach to the cable clasp. Figure 21. Securing Power Cables 2.
Important Points to Remember for Installing a Fan Module • The Utility panel consists of four slots numbered from 0 to 3. Insert the fan modules in slots 1 and 2. • If a fan module fails, the system continues to operate without a significant degradation in cooling capacity for a six-hour duration. • The cooling system is designed such that, during normal operation, the fans typically run at somewhere between 50 and 75 percent of their maximum speed at 26°C ambient temperature.

DC Power Connect the plug to each DC receptacle. Make sure that the power cord is secure and the polarity is correct. As soon as the cable is connected between the S5000 and the power source, the chassis is powered-up; there is no on/off switch. Performing the Initial Configuration The S5000 has two management ports available for system access — a console port and a universal serial bus (USB)-B port. The USB-B port acts the same as the console port. The terminal settings are the same for both access ports.
Figure 23. RS-232/RJ-45 Console Port 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 6.

For assistance, contact Dell Networking Technical Support. 3. Connect the USB-A end of cable into an available USB port on the PC. 4. Connect the USB-B end of cable into the USB-B console port on the S5000. 5. Power on the S5000. 6. Open your terminal software emulation program to access the S5000. 7. Set the terminal connection settings.
• Enable password • Telnet password Configuring the Enable Password To access EXEC Privilege mode, use the enable command. EXEC Privilege mode is unrestricted by default. Configure a password as a basic security measure. There are two types of enable passwords: • enable password — stores the password in the running/startup configuration using a data encryption standard (DES) encryption method. • enable secret — is stored in the running/startup configuration in a stronger, MD5 encryption method.
Navigate CLI modes The FTOS prompt changes to indicate the CLI mode. You must move linearly through the command modes, except for the end command which takes you directly to EXEC Privilege mode and the exit command which moves you up one command mode level. Default Configuration A version of FTOS is preloaded onto the S5000; however, the system is not configured when you power up for the first time (except for the default host name, which is FTOS). You must configure the system using the CLI.
– 2. port range: 0 Assign an IP address to the interface. INTERFACE mode ip address ip-address/mask 3. – ip-address: an address in dotted-decimal format (A.B.C.D). – mask: a subnet mask in /prefix-length format (/ xx). Enable the interface. INTERFACE mode no shutdown Configuring a Management Route Define a path from the system to the network from which you are accessing the system remotely.
Assigning Interfaces to a VLAN You can only assign interfaces in Layer 2 mode to a VLAN using the tagged and untagged commands. To place an interface in Layer 2 mode, use the switchport command. You can designate Layer 2 interfaces as tagged or untagged. When you place an interface in Layer 2 mode using the switchport command, the interface is automatically designated untagged and placed in the Default VLAN.
Connecting the S5000 to the Network After you have completed the hardware installation and software configuration for the S5000 system, you can connect to your company network by following your company’s cabling requirements.
