Introduction
This document provides basic information about the S4820T switch,
including how to install the switch and perform the initial configuration. For
information about how to configure and monitor switch features,
refer to
the
User’s Configuration Guide, which is available on the Dell Support website at
support.dell.com/support.
This document contains the following sections:
•
Hardware Overview
•
Installation
• Technical Specifications
• Performing the Initial Configuration
Product Description
S4820T is a top-of-rack (ToR) switch/router product for copper connections to
10G servers and 40Gbps uplinks to the 40G switching fabric in the core. The
S4820T has 48 ports of 10GBase-T and four ports of 40Gbps with features and
functions similar to the S4810 product.
The S4820T switch runs the Dell Force10 Operating System (FTOS), providing
switching, bridging, and routing functionality for transmitting data, storage, and
server traffic.
In a data center network, the S4820T switch provides converged network
support and interoperates with Dell and third-party ToR devices. The switch
supports
data center bridging (DCB) features and optimizes
connectivity
between servers and storage devices using Fibre Channel over Ethernet
(FCoE) and Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) links.
By providing increased 40GbE bandwidth for device interconnection in a
shared network storage environment, with the possibility of splitting 40GbE
Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus (QSFP+) uplinks into 10GbE SFP+
connections, the S4820T switch is perfectly positioned to help transition a
data center with multiple speed requirements.
4 Introduction
The S4820T solution is optimized to provide 10Gbps throughput for di stances
of up to:
• 330 feet (100 meters) over Cat6, 6A, and 7 shielded copper cable and
Cat6A UTP copper cable
• 181.5 feet (55 meters) over Cat6 UTP copper cable
Hardware Overview 5
Hardware Overview
This section contains information about device characteristics and modular
hardware configurations for the S4820T switch.
The S4820T has the following physical dimensions:
•
434 x 460 x 43.5 mm (W x D x H).
•
17.09 x 18.11 x 1.71 inches (W x D x H).
The S4820T has a chassis design with 640Gbps switching bandwidth as listed
below:
•
S4820T = 48 port 10GBase-T + 4 port 40G QSFP+
The system also provides one RS-232 interface RJ-45 YOST console port and
a dedicated Ethernet service port for out-of-band (OOB) management
functions.
The S4820T has the following features:
•
Supports one universal serial bus (USB) port
•
Forty-eight 10Gbps ports
•
Four fixed 40Gbps QSFP ports for a 40Gbps transceiver
•
On-board high-performance central processing unit (CPU) system with
large memory, P2020/128 MB NOR Flash/2GB DDR III RAM.
•
Temperature monitoring (TMP75)
•
Software-readable thermal monitor
•
Real time clock (RTC) support
•
Hot-plugging redundant power supply
•
Current monitoring for Power management
•
Removable fan that you can manage
• Standard 1U chassis high
6 Hardware Overview
Fans
The S4820T has stock keeping uni ts (SKUs) that support the following
configurations. Installation of the fans is done as part of the factory install based
on SKU type. The power supply units (PSUs) are to be installed at the customer
site (refer to
Power Supplies
).
• AC PSU with fan airflow from I/O to PSU
• AC PSU with fan airflow from PSU to I/O
• DC PSU with fan airflow from I/O to PSU
• DC PSU with fan airflow from PSU to I/O
All fans and PSUs in a configuration must be in the same airflow direction.
Should for some reason a mixed airflow conf ig u ration happen, the software is
designed to notify you of the invalid configuration.
