Site Preparation
This chapter describes the requirements for the room, rack, and cabinet in which you will install your
system.
• Site Selection
• Equipment Rack and Cabinet Requirements
• Power Requirements
• Storage Requirements
Site Selection
Before you begin, make sure that the area where you intend to install your system meets the following
requirements:
1 The site is in a restricted access area.
2 The site is a dry, clean, well-ventilated, and temperature-controlled room, away from heat sources
such as hot air vents or direct sunlight.
3 The site is away from sources of severe electromagnetic noise.
4 The site is near an adequate power source. Connect the system to the appropriate branch circuit
protection as defined by local electrical codes.
Equipment Rack and Cabinet Requirements
1 Ensure that the rack has adequate space in the front, rear, and sides after the system is installed to
allow proper ventilation, access to cables, and maintenance access. Allow at least 18 inches in the
front and 20 inches in the rear of the rack.
2 Ensure that the rack is bolted to the floor and/or braced to a wall or ceiling.
3 The minimum cabinet size is 30 inches deep and 24 inches wide.
4 Provide a minimum of 20 inches clearance behind the chassis to access the fan trays.
5 Air flows through the system from a filtered intake vent on the bottom front side of the chassis to an
exhaust vent at the top rear. For proper ventilation, position the chassis in an equipment rack or
cabinet so that the minimum air flow is 750 cubic feet per minute (CFM), this requires a minimum of
3 inches between the doors and the cable management system when the cabinet front doors are
closed, and a minimum of 3 inches between the chassis rear and the rear of the cabinet.
Site Preparation | 9
Power Requirements
The E600i supports either 2500W AC power supplies (PSUs), or DC Power Entry Modules (PEMs).Do

The E600i System
The Dell Force10 E600i system is a carrier-class, high-capacity aggregation router. The 9-slot modular
system provides 2 slots dedicated for route processor modules (RPMs) and 7 slots to accommodate line
cards with Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching and routing capabilities.
Operating Overview
The E600i system requires an RPM, at least one line card, and at least four switch fabric modules (SFMs)
for packet processing. The RPM is the core for routing and control operations. All traffic destined to the
E600i terminates on the RPM. Routing table entries are built on the RPM and directed to the forwarding
information tables on the line cards.
RPM software processes, such as Telnet, SNMP, Layer 2, and Layer 3 functions, are divided among three
CPUs for redundancy and speed. Independent software images run on each CPU. Each CPU has its own
memory, which isolates processes from each other, increasing reliability. Operating the E600i system
with two RPMs enables automatic fail-over redundancy.
Line cards perform all data forwarding operations. Each line card has Dell Force10 proprietary ASICs;
the flexible packet classification (FPC) ASIC and the Buffer and T raf fic Manager (BTM) ASIC. The FPC
accepts packets, feeds packets to input/output ports, handles packet classification (access lists, Layer 2
and Layer 3 lookups) and packet marking (Diffserv or 802.1p). The BTM is responsible for all queuing
operations.
The internal flash memory device shipped with the RPM contains the boot ROM and runtime images.
Each RPM accommodates an external flash memory card that can be used to copy and store system boot,
software images, and configuration files. For information about using a flash card, refer to
Using a Flash Memory Card

Power Supply
This chapter provides instructions to install AC Power Supply Units (PSUs) and DC Power Entry
Modules (PEMs):
• AC Power Supply Units
• DC Power Entry Modules
E-Series systems may contain only one type of power module—AC or DC. The E600i requires a
minimum of one DC Power Entry Module or a minimum of two AC Power Supplies

AC Power Supply Units
The 2500W AC Power Supply Unit is capable of operating at either 100 VAC or 220 VAC. If the system
is connected to a 100 VAC power supply, each unit provides up to 1500W, and three power supply
modules are required to power the system; four power supply units are required for power supply
redundancy.
If the system is connected to a 220 VAC power supply, two power supply units are required for providing
power to the system, three power supply units are required for power supply redundancy , and four power
supply units are required for full facility redundancy.
Full facility redundancy requires two independent power sources (feeds) with two power supplies on
each feed. Each independent power source should have a dedicated circuit breaker sized in accordance
with your local electrical codes.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com
CAUTION: Before removing and replacing a power supply unit, determine if the E600i is in full redundancy or
non-redundant mode. Operating in non-redundant mode will require a complete system power off when
removing and replacing a power supply.
NOTE: Do not mix power supplies. Installing a 2500W-AC2 power supply into a chassis with 2500W-AC
power supplies already installed may result in unpredictable behavior. FTOS version 8.3.1.2 and later will
declare an alarm when the PSUs are mixed.

Power Cord Requirements
If using a power cord other then a Dell Force10 supplied power cord, the cord must terminate at a right
angle (IEC320 C19 connector) to the power module, see
Figure 6-3
. The power source end of the power
cord must have an appropriately sized plug that complies with your local electrical codes. Conductor size
must also conform to your local electrical codes.
The following are Dell Force10 supplied plug types.
• EU: CEE 7/7
• UK:CEE7/7, BS 1363
• SWZ: CEE7/7, 309
• JAP: NEMA 5-20
• JAP 220: NEMA 6-20, L6-20
