Physical Interfaces

The Dell Force10 S2410 is a Layer 2 switch that is available in two models — the S2410CP and the S2410P. The primary difference is that the S2410P contains 24 built-in 10-gigabit Ethernet (10G) XFP
ports, while the S2410CP contains 20 built-in 10G BaseCX4 ports and four 10G XFP ports.

System Status

S2410 status data can be derived in several ways, including physical LED displays, discussed next, along with boot menu options, CLI details on those options, see the S2410 Quick Reference, the SFTOS Command Reference (SFTOS 2.4), and the SFTOS Configuration Guide (SFTOS 2.4).

Site Preparation

This chapter describes requirements and site setup procedures for your S2410 system. This chapter covers the following topics:
Site Selection
Cabinet Placement on page 11
Rack Mounting on page 12
Fans and Airflow on page 12
Power on page 12
Storing Components on page 12
Tools Required on page 13
3
For detailed S2410 specifications, refer to
NOTE: Install the S2410 into a rack or cabinet before installing any optional components.
Chapter , S2410 Specifications, on page 27
.

Site Selection

Make sure that the area where you install your S2410 chassis meets the following safety requirements:
Near an adequate power source. Connect the system to the appropriate branch circuit protection as defined by your local electrical codes. Ideally, you connect each power supply to a separate circuit.
Environmental temperature between 32° – 122°F (0° – 40°C).
Relative humidity that does not exceed 90% non-condensing.
In a dry, clean, well-ventilated and temperature-controlled room, away from heat sources such as hot air vents or direct sunlight.
Away from sources of severe electromagnetic noise.
Positioned in a rack, cabinet, or on a desktop with adequate space in the front, rear, and sides of the unit for proper ventilation, and access (see below).

Cabinet Placement

The cabinet must meet the following criteria:
Minimum cabinet size and airflow are according to the EIA standard.
Minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) between the side intake and exhaust vents and the cabinet wall.
Site Preparation | 11

Rack Mounting

Ensure that your equipment rack is earth ground. The equipment rack must be grounded to the same ground point used by the power service in your area. The ground path must be permanent.
For rack-mounting instructions, see
Rack or Cabinet Installation on page 15
.

Fans and Airflow

Ventilation is primarily side-to-side (some vents in back), with seven fans on the left side of the switch that operate at a constant speed. For proper ventilation, position the chassis in an equipment rack (or cabinet) with a minimum of five inches (12.7 cm) of clearance around the side intake and exhaust vents. When two S-Series systems are installed side by side, position the two chassis at least 5 inches (12.7 cm)
www.dell.com | support.dell.com
apart to permit proper airflow. The acceptable ambient temperature ranges are listed in
Parameters on page 27
As listed in LED that includes alarms for fan problems and out-of-range temperatures. The LED is amber when the temperature or components are outside expected parameters, red in a major alarm.
SFTOS logs a temperature warning message when a temperature of 77 degrees C is reached, and logs another message when the temperature returns to normal. The Command Line Interface (CLI) also reports an alarm.
Use the command for event log messages. For details, see the Syslog chapters of the SFTOS Command Reference or SFTOS Configuration Guide.

Fan replacement is not offered as an option in the field.

Power

CAUTION: The power supply cord is used as the main disconnect device; ensure that the socket-outlet is
located/installed near the equipment and is easily accessible.
Both S2410 models (S2410CP and S2410P) provide built-in dual AC power supplies. Ideally, the power sources would be on separate circuits. While only one power supply is needed for the unit to operate, if both power supplies are connected, the power supplies act as redundant backups and do some load sharing, although the sharing is not necessarily equal.
There are no DC power or backup power options.

Storing Components

If you do not install your system and components immediately, Dell Force10 recommends that you properly store the S2410 and all optional components until you are ready to install them.
WARNING: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur when components are mishandled. Always
wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the S2410 and its accessories. After you remove the original packaging, place the S2410 and its components on an antistatic surface.
Follow these storage guidelines:
12 | Site Preparation
Storage temperature should remain constant ranging from -4° to 158° F (-20°C to 70° C).
Storage humidity range should be between 10 to 95% relative humidity, non-condensing
Store on a dry surface or floor, away from direct sunlight, heat, and air conditioning ducts.
Store in a dust-free environment.

Tools Required

S-Series switches are shipped fully assembled, encased in foam. A utility knife is useful for cutting the packing tape, and a #2 Phillips screwdriver is required for attaching rack screws, and is also used for making some attachments, including DC cables and rear cover plates. Wear an anti-static guard, as noted above.
