Install the SFP and SFP+ Optics
In addition to the optional SFP+ optical modules, the S60 system has four Small Form-Factor Pluggable
(SFP) optical ports in the front of the system.
WARNING: ESD damage can occur if the components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist
or heel ground strap when handling the S60 system and its components.
WARNING: When working with optical fibers, follow all warning labels and always wear eye protection. Never
look directly into the end of a terminated or unterminated fiber or connector as it may cause eye damage.
To install SFP or SFP+ optics into an open port, follow these steps:
StepTask
1Position the SFP or SFP+ optic so it is in the correct position. The optic has a key that prevents it from being
inserted incorrectly.
2Insert the optic into the port until it gently snaps into place.
Connect Stacking Ports (Optional)
Before you make your stacking port connections, rack-mount the S60 system or insert it into a cabinet.
Insert one end of the stacking cable into a stacking port and insert the other end into a stacking port of the
adjacent system. To ensure the cable is secure in the connector, hand-tighten all the captive screws.
To configure as a unified system, Dell Networking supports stacking connections of up to 12 S60
systems.
NOTE: The S60 system does not stack with other S-Series systems.
You can connect the stacking systems while they are powered down or up. Both ring topology and
cascade topology connections are supported (
Figure 3-1
and
Figure 3-2
). The stacking ports are
bi-directional.
If you use the 2-port, 12G stacking module, the stacking ports are labeled 48-49 on the rear (ethernet
port) side and 50-51 on the front (PSU) side.
If you use the 2-port, 24G stacking module, the stacking ports are labeled 48 on the rear (ethernet port)
side and 50 on the front (PSU) side.
Important Point s to Know
•Do not mix stacking modules. Use either the 1-port, 24G stacking module or the 2-port, 12G stacking
module within a single stack. You cannot cable from a 1-port module to a 2-port module.
•Y ou can install the S60 optional modules on either the back or front side of the system. Dell Networking
supports cabling between the front and the back side stacking modules. If you need to reach from one
side of the system to the other side, be sure to use a cable of suitable length.
•To connect the systems, use only the supported stacking cables.
The S60 system supports stacking in either a ring or cascade topology (
Figure 3-1
and
Figure 3-2
). When
stacking S60 systems, to provide redundant connectivity, Dell Networking recommends using the ring
topology.

Supply Power and Power Up the System
Supply power to the S60 system after you have mounted them in a rack (or on a table) and have installed
the optional modules.
Dell Networking 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.
•the ambient temperature around the system (which may be higher than the room temperature) is within
the limits specified for the S60 system.
•there is sufficient airflow around the system.
•the input circuits are correctly sized for the loads and that you use sufficient over-current protection
devices.
•all the protective covers are in place.
•you have installed blank panels if you did not install optional modules.
NOTE: A US AC power cable is included in the shipping container for powering up an AC PSU. You must
order all other power cables separately.
WARNING: ESD damage can occur if the components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist
or heel ground strap when handling the S60 system and its components.
Power Up Sequence
When the system powers up, the fans immediately come on at high speed. The fan speed slows as the
system boots up.
Install the S60 System|19
The PWR Light Emitting Diode (LED) blinks until the boot-up sequence is complete. When the boot up
is complete, the PWD LED is steadily lit.
The Stack ID LED displays a digit to show the position of the unit in a stacking chain. For a single
chassis, a 0 displays.
AC Power
Connect the plug to each AC receptacle (
Figure 3-7
). Ensure the power cord is secure.
As soon as the cable is connected between the S60 system and the power source, the system is
powered-up; there is no on/off switch.

Install the S60 System|20
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.
All units in a stack must run the same version of the operating system. If you attempt to attach a unit with
a different version of the operating system to an existing stack, the Command Line Interface (CLI)
displays an error and the unit is not added until you install compatible software.
The order in which the units come on-line or are added to or removed from the stack can affect how the
stack identifies them and how the units identify themselves. This influences the unit numbers,
management addresses, and other elements of the configuration file.
How units are identified within the stack is determined by the selected identification algorithm. The
default algorithm has the units self-identify as Unit 1 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.
Similarly, when you add a brand new unit to the stack, the unit will be gracefully added as Unit [last] (the
lowest unused number) with the current configuration. Attaching the unit causes each unit in the stack to
reload and the subsequent configuration file in each unit includes the awareness of the new unit.
If you have a pre-configured unit that you want to add to the stack, but you want to make sure the
configuration does not override the configuration of the stack, in order to avoid stack management
conflicts, add the unit while it is powered down.
You can use the CLI to make stack identification changes on the fly, such as renumbering units (stack-
unit unit number renumber unit number), assigning a new management unit (redundancy forcefailover stack-unit number), or removing priority or provisioning of a stack unit member (no stack-unit
unit number provision provision type). You can also use commands such as stack-unit unit number
priority value and member that override the default unit identification algorithms.
To see the current assignment of the management unit, use the show system command. To see the serial
number of the designated unit, use the show system stack-unit unit number command.
For more information about removing a unit from a stack and other stacking commands, refer to the
Stacking chapter in the FTOS Configuration Guide for the S60 System and the Stacking Commands
chapter in the FTOS Command Line Reference Guide for the S60 System.

Power Supplies
The S60 system is designed to support two hot-swappable power supply units (PSUs) with integrated
fans that provide the cooling for the system. There are two types of power supplies (AC or DC) and there
are two airflow directions (normal and reverse). Two PSUs are required for full redundancy, but the
system will operate with a single PSU. You can equip one of the PSU bays with a fan-only module.
For the procedure to replace only a fan module or fan filter, refer to

WARNING: Prevent exposure and contact with hazardous voltages. Do not attempt to operate this system
with the safety cover removed.
CAUTION: Remove the power cable from the PSU prior to removing the PSU. Also, do not connect power to
the PSU prior to inserting the PSU in the system.
NOTE: For a Network Equipment Building System (NEBS)-compliant installation, to protect the AC power
supplies from damage due to excessive power line surges, the AC power connections must use a Surge
Protection Device (SPD).
NOTE: To comply with the GR-1089 Lightning Criteria for Equipment Interfacing with AC Power Ports, use an
external SPD at the AC input of the router.

Fans and Filters
The S60 system comes from the factory with one Power Supply Unit (PSU) and one fan module installed
in the system (
the integrated fan/PSU are hot-swappable. With redundant PSUs, if you remove a fan module, traffic is
not interrupted.
WARNING: To run the system, both slots must have operating fan units. If a module is not installed in each
slot (either as part of the PSU or as an independent fan module), the system powers down when it exceeds an
internal temperature threshold.
WARNING: Dell Networking recommends replacing the fan tray within five minutes. If the fan tray is left out
for too long, the system may experience traffic disruption.
The S60 system supports two airflow direction options (normal and reverse). Do not mix fan airflow
types; you can only use a single airflow direction in a system. If the airflow directions are mismatched,
the system powers down in one minute.
•Normal—airflow is from the Input/Output (I/O) panel to the PSU
•Reverse—airflow is from the PSU to the I/O panel
Environmental factors can decrease the amount of time required between air filter replacements. Check
the environmental factors regularly. An increase in temperature and/or particulate matter in the air might
affect performance (for example, new equipment installation).
Figure 5-1
). If a second (redundant) PSU is installed and running, both the fan module and
CAUTION: Check the fan air filters at six-month intervals and replace them as necessary. In order to
accurately determine air filter replacement intervals, regularly monitor the speeds of the cooling fans. An
increase in overall fan speed may indicate a clogged filter.
You must replace the S60 fan filters with new filters; you cannot clean and reuse the fan filters.
Replacement filters can be sourced online through third-party component suppliers. The fan filter is
manufactured by Qualtek Electronics Corporation and is stocked at several different online electronics
supply sites. The Qualtek part number is 09150-M/30 (on some sites the part number is referenced as
09150-M30), and provides conformance to the following standards as per the NEBS GR-63-CORE
specification:
•Minimum dust arrestance of 65%, per ASHRAE Standard 52.1-1992
OR
•Minimum Efficiency Rating Value (MERV) of 2, per ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 52.2-2007
Dell Networking does not recommend any one site to procure these filters, but you can find a link on the
filter manufacturer’s site (http://www.qualtekusa.com) that displays a list of distributors and their current
stock. Select Catalog > Fan_Accessories then scroll to part “09150-M/30*.” Click the check mark in the
