The S6000 supports splitting a single 40G QSFP+ port into four 10G SFP+ ports using one of the
supported breakout cables. A maximum of 13 ports can be made fanout in each of the ranges from 0 to 63
and from 64 to 127, thereby making the other three ports disabled after reload. You can enable the fanout
feature by using the stack-unit port mode command in CONFIGURATION mode.
Starting with Dell Networking OS version 9.4(0.0), you can configure up to a maximum of one-hundred
four10G ports on an S6000.
QSFP+ ports have eight LEDs associated with each stack of two ports; four for the top and four for the
bottom ports. You can configure each port as a single 40G port or four 10G ports. When configured as a
40G port, only the first of the four LEDs is used. When configured as four 10G ports, all four LEDs are
used to indicate the status.

Site Location and Preparation
The S6000 is suitable for installation as part of a common bond network (CBN). It can be installed in:
• Network telecommunication facilities
• Data centers
• Other locations where the national electric code (NEC) applies
This chapter contains the following sections regarding where and how you can install the S6000:
• Site Selection
• Cabinet Placement
• Rack Mount
• Ground
• Fans and Airflow
• Power
• Storing Components
NOTE: Install the S6000 switch into a rack or cabinet before installing any optional components.
Site Location and Preparation | 17
Site Selection
Dell Network’ s equipment is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted access area is
one in which access can only be gained by service personnel through the use of a special tool, lock, key,
or other means of security and access is controlled by the authority responsible for the location.
Ensure that the area where the S6000 system is installed 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.
• Environmental temperature between 32° to 113°F (0° to 45°C).
• Relative humidity that does not exceed 90% non-condensing.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com
• 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 or cabinet, or on a desktop with adequate space in the front, rear, and sides of the
S6000 for proper ventilation and access.
Cabinet Placement
Install the S6000 only in indoor cabinets designed for use in a controlled environment as described in
Selection
The cabinet must meet the following:
• Minimum cabinet size and airflow are according to the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) standard.
. Do not install the S6000 in outside plant cabinets.
Site
Rack Mount
When you prepare your equipment rack, ensure that the rack is earth ground. Ground the equipment rack
to the same ground point used by the power service in your area. The ground path must be permanent.
Ground
Use the S6000 in a CBN. Connect the grounding cables as described in
Chapter 4, Install the S6000
.
Fans and Airflow
The S6000 fans support two airflow options. Be sure to order the fans suitable to support your site’s
ventilation. Use a single type of airflow fan in your system. Do not mix reverse and normal airflows in a
single S6000 switch.
NOTE: Power Supplies and Fan Modules are field replaceable units. Dell Networking does not support a mix
of power supply types (such as, AC and DC) in the same switch. If a power supply is added or replaced, it
MUST match the existing type of power supply (such as, AC and AC or DC and DC).
18 | Site Location and Preparation
Switch
The S6000 has stock keeping units (SKUs) that support the following configurations. Installation of the
fans is done as part of the factory install based on SKU type.
• 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 a mixed airflow
configuration happen, the software notifies you of the invalid configuration.
The S6000 supports three fan trays with airflow directions from the I/O to the utility or the utility to
the I/O.
For proper ventilation, position the S6000 in an equipment rack (or cabinet) with a minimum of
five inches (12.7cm) of clearance around the exhaust vents. When you install two S6000 systems near
each other, position the two switch at least five inches (12.7cm) apart to permit proper airflow. The fan
speed increases when the internal temperature reaches 72°C and decreases to normal speed when the
temperature falls to 58°C. The S6000 never intentionally turns off the fans.
T o see the log messages, use the show logging command. For more information, refer to the System Logs
chapters of the Dell Networking OS Command Ling Reference Guide for the S6000 Switch and Dell
Networking OS Configuration Guide for the S6000 Switch.
Power
To connect the switch to the applicable power source, use the appropriate power cord with the S6000
switch.
• If the switch is an AC model, an AC power cord (country/region specific) is included with the system.
• If the switch is a DC model, a DC power cord (country/region specific) is included with the system.
When installing AC systems, follow the requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70

You may either place the switch on the rack shelf or mount the switch directly into a 19" wide, EIA-310-
E- compliant rack (four-post, two-post, or threaded methods). The Dell ReadyRails™ switch is provided
for one 1U front-rack and two-post installations. The ReadyRails switch includes two separately
packaged rail assemblies and two rails that are shipped attached to the sides of the switch.
WARNING: This is a condensed reference. Read the safety instructions in your Safety, Environmental, and
Regulatory information booklet before you begin.
NOTE: The illustrations in this document are not intended to represent a specific switch.
NOTE: Do not the use the mounted Ready-Rails as a shelf or a workplace.
Rack Mount Safety Considerations
• Rack loading — Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in shelf or rack failure, causing
damage to the equipment and possible personal injury. Stabilize racks in a permanent location before
loading begins. Mount the components beginning at the bottom of the rack, then work to the top. Do not
exceed your rack load rating.
• Power considerations — Connect only to the power source specified on the unit. When multiple
electrical components are installed in a rack, ensure that the total component power ratings do not
exceed the circuit capabilities. Overloaded power sources and extension cords present fire and shock
hazards.
• Elevated ambient temperature — If installed in a closed rack assembly, the operating temperature of
the rack environment may be greater than the room ambient temperature. Use care not to exceed the
40
°
C maximum ambient temperature of the switch.
22 | Install the S6000
• Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe
operation of the equipment is not compromised.
• Reliable earthing — Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to
the supply connections other than the direct connections to the branch circuit, for example: use of power
strips.
• Do not mount the equipment with the rear panel facing in the downward position.
Installing the Dell ReadyRails Switch
The ReadyRails rack mounting switch is provided to easily configure your rack for installation of your
S6000 switch. You can install the ReadyRails switch using the 1U tool-less method or one of three

Attach the other end of the ground cable to a suitable ground point. The rack installation ears are not a suitable
grounding point.
Installing an AC or DC Power Supply
The S6000 supports two hot-swappable PSUs with integrated fans that provide cooling for the switch.
The S6000 supports AC and DC power supplies with two air -flow directions (I/O to PSU or PSU to I/O).
Two PSUs are required for full redundancy, but the switch will operate with a single PSU.
NOTE: S6000 ships with two PSUs. However, it is possible to run the unit with a single PSU. If you use a
single PSU, install a blank plate in the other PSU slot. Dell Networking recommends using power supply 1
(PSU1) as the blank plate slot.
The PSUs are field replaceable. When running with full redundancy (two power supplies installed and
running), you can remove and replace one PSU while the other PSU is running without disrupting traffic.
The S6000 does not support mixing PSU types. You cannot replace an AC PSU with a DC PSU and you
cannot replace an AC-R PSU with a DC-R PSU.
WARNING: ESD damage can occur if components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or
heel ground strap when handling the S6000 and its components.
CAUTION: To prevent electrical shock, ensure the S6000 is grounded properly. If you do not ground your

Installing QSFP+ Optics
The S6000 has 32 40Gbps QSFP+ optical ports.
WARNING: ESD damage can occur if components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or
heel ground strap when handling the S6000 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, which may cause eye damage.
To install QSFP+ optics into an open port, follow these steps:
1 Position the optic so it is in the correct position. The optic has a key that prevents it from being
inserted incorrectly.
2 Insert the optic into the port until it gently snaps into place.
LR4 optics can be installed only on top row front end ports 4, 12, 20, 28, 36, 44, 52, 60, 68, 76, 84, 92,
100, 108, 116, and 124.
NOTE: Both rows of QSFP+ ports require that you insert the 40G optics with the tabs facing up.
Remove QSFP+ Optics
Remove an optic by pushing the tab on the optic and sliding the optic from the port.
When removing optics with direct attach cables (DACs) from the port, pull the release tab firmly and
steadily . Prior to pulling the release tab, you may need to gently push the optic into the port to ensure it is
seated properly. Do not jerk or tug repeatedly on the tab.
Split QSFP+ Ports to SFP+ Ports
The S6000 supports splitting a single 40G QSFP+ port into four 10G SFP+ ports using one of the
supported breakout cables.
For example:
stack-unit stack-unit port number portmode quad
•
stack-unit
number
•
: Enter the stack member unit identifier of the stack member to reset. The range is from 0 to 5.
: Enter the port number of the 40G port to be split. The range is from 0 to 124.
Important Points to Know:
• The quad port must be in a default configuration before you can split it into four 10G ports. The 40G
port is lost in the configuration when you split the port, so be sure that the port is also removed from
other L2/L3 feature configurations.
• For the split-port change to take effect, you must reload the switch after issuing the command write
memory.

Figure 8-1. The European WEEE symbol
In accordance with the European WEEE Directive, electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) is to be
collected separately and to be reused, recycled, or recovered at end of life. Users of EEE with the WEEE
marking per Annex IV of the WEEE Directive, as shown above, must not dispose of end of life EEE as
unsorted municipal waste, but use the collection framework available to customers for the return,
recycling and recovery of WEEE. Customer participation is important to minimize any potential effects
of EEE on the environment and human health due to the potential presence of hazardous substances in
EEE.
Dell Networking products, which fall within the scope of the WEEE, are labeled with the crossed-out
wheelie-bin symbol, as shown above, as required by WEEE.
