4 Install the S55 To install the S55 system, Dell Force10 recommends that you complete the installation procedures in the order presented below. Always handle the system and its components with care. Avoid dropping the S55 switch or its field replaceable units.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com Follow these steps to attach the brackets to the chassis: Step Task 1 Take the brackets and screws out of their packaging. 2 Attach the brackets to the sides of the chassis at the PSU end, using four screws for each bracket. Attach the bracket so that the “ear” faces to the PSU and the outside of the chassis.
Step Task (continued) Attach the bracket “ears” to the rack or cabinet posts, using two screws for each bracket. Ensure the screws are tightened firmly. 2 PSU0 PSU1 Rack/Cabinet Post Rack Mounting ears Attach ground cable The S55 is shipped with 1 10-32 screws for attaching a ground cable to the chassis. The cable itself is not included. Dell Force10 recommends a 6AWG one-hole lug, #10 hole size, 63" spacing (not included in shipping) to properly ground the chassis.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com Step Task (continued) 3 Attach the one-hole lug to the chassis as shown, using the supplied 10-32 screw with captive internal tooth lock washer. The screw should be torqued to 20 in-lbs. 4 Attach the other end of the ground cable to a suitable ground point. The rack installation ears are not a suitable grounding point. Insert optional modules The S55 system has expansion slots, that can be used for stacking modules or for SFP+ devices.
To install an optional module, follow the steps below: Step Task 1 Remove the faceplate covering the module slot on PSU side of the S55. 2 Remove the module from its packaging and slide the module into the slot. 3 Secure the captive screws on the sides of the module. Install the SFP and SFP+ optics The S55 has 4 SFP optical ports in the PSU side of the chassis in addition to the optional SFP+ optical modules.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com The S55 supports stacking in either a ring or cascade topology. Dell Force10 recommends the ring topology when stacking S55 switches, to provide redundant connectivity. Figure 4-1.
Figure 4-2. 2 S55s with 2-port 12G stacking modules Connect three or more S55s 2-port 12G stacking modules As an option, when using the 2-port 12G stacking modules, insert a second cable into the other open stack ports, as shown in Figure 4-3. The second cable provides both backup connectivity and increased data transfer between the units. Starting with the S55 at the bottom of the stack: • Insert one end of the first cable into Stack Port 48 (or 49).
www.dell.com | support.dell.com Supply power and power up the system Supply power to the S55 after they are mounted in a rack (or on a table) and the optional modules are installed. Dell Force10 recommends re-inspecting your system prior to powering up. Verify that: • the equipment is properly secured to the rack and properly grounded. • the equipment rack is properly mounted and grounded.
Figure 4-4. AC power connection DC power Connect the plug to each DC receptacle, making sure that the power cord is secure. As soon as the cable is connected between the S55 and the power source, the chassis is powered-up; there is no on/off switch. Figure 4-5. DC power connection Hot-swap units in a stack You can add, remove, or swap units in an existing stack. The units in the stack and the new units can be already powered up or they can be powered down.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com How units are identified within the stack is determined by the selected identification algorithm. The default algorithm has the units self-identify as Unit 0 through Unit [last] based on the order in which they come on-line. So, when setting up a new set of switches in a stack, you should have no trouble forcing the identification of the management unit and unit IDs by methodically supplying power to the units in your preferred sequence.
5 Power Supplies The S55 is designed to support two hot-swappable power supplies with integrated fans that provide the cooling for the chassis. There are two types of power supplies (AC or DC) and there are two air-flow directions (Normal and Reversed). Two power supplies are required for full redundancy, but the system will operate with a single power supply. A blank panel must be attached is redundant power supplies are not installed.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com NOTE: For a NEBS compliant installation, the AC power connections must use a surge protection device (SPD) to protect the AC power supplies from damage to excessive power line surges. NOTE: To comply with the GR-1089 Lightning Criteria for Equipment Interfacing with AC Power Ports, an external surge protection device (SPD) is intended to be used at the AC input of the router. WARNING: Prevent exposure and contact with hazardous voltages.
Step Task 2 Using the grab handle, slide the unit in to the power supply bay. 3 Tighten the securing screw at the top of the unit. 4 Attach power cables. 5 The system powers up as soon as the cables are connected between the power supply and the power source. Replace an AC or DC power supply NOTE: If a power supply fails, it must be completely replaced. There are no field servicable components in the module itself. Refer to Chapter 9, Technical Support to request a hardware replacement.

6 Fans The S55 comes from the factory with 1 power supply and 2 fan modules installed in the chassis. Both the fan module and the integrated fan-power supply are hot-swappable if a second (redundant) power supply is installed and running. With redundant power supplies, traffic will not be interrupted if a fan module is removed. NOTE: Both slots must have operating fan units to run the system. If a module is not installed in each slot the system will shut down in 1 minute.
