Product Description

The S5000 is part of Dell Networking's S-Series switches for Data Center Top of Rack (ToR) switches.

The S5000 is purpose-built to provide architectural flexibility for unified and virtualized environments. It is a 10G ToR solution that enables converged local area networks (LAN) and storage area networks (SAN) in the same box. The S5000 delivers Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and Fibre Channel (FC) capability in a one rack unit (RU) ToR switch form factor.

The S5000 supports Data Center Bridging (ETS/PFC/DCBX), FCoE Transit (FIP Snooping), NPIV Proxy Gateway (NPG), and Internet small computer system interface (iSCSI) storage traffic. The S5000 also provides aggregation and convergence functionality using pluggable modules for flexible configuration.

FTOS Configuration Guide for the S5000

1. Place the container on a clean, flat surface and cut all straps securing the container.

2. Open the container or remove the container top.

3. Carefully remove all components from the container and place it on a secure and clean surface.

4. Remove all packing material.

5. Inspect the switch and accessories for damage.

Important Points Before You Continue

• Identify the I/O and Utility panel on the chassis. The I/O panel has four fixed 40GbE ports on the right side of the panel, refer to Figure 1. The Utility panel has the power supply slots, LEDs, and USB slots on the left side of the panel, refer to Figure 3.

• Identify slots 0, 1, 2, and 3 on the I/O panel, refer to Figure 2. You can insert a Fibre Channel module only in slot 0. You can install the Ethernet modules in slots 0, 1, 2, and 3.

• Identify slots 0, 1, 2, and 3 on the Utility panel, refer to Figure 3. You can insert Power supply units (PSUs) only in slots 0 and 3. You can insert the Fan modules in any of the slots.

Hardware Installation Overview

To install the S5000, follow these steps:

1. Attach the mounting brackets.

2. Install the S5000 chassis into a 4–post rack or cabinet.

3. Ground the rack.

4. Install the Ethernet and/or Fibre Channel modules (Fibre Channel module must be installed only in slot 0).

5. Install the power supplies.

6. Secure the power cables.

7. Install the fan modules.

8. Install the SFP+ and QSFP+ optics.

9. Supply power and power up the system.

Hardware Overview

This section contains information about device characteristics and modular hardware configurations for the S5000.

The S5000 has the following physical dimensions:

• Height: 1.71 inches (43.5 mm)

• Width: 17.4 inches (441.9 mm)

• Depth: 28 inches (711.2 mm)

The S5000 has a chassis design with 640Gbps switching bandwidth.

The system also provides one DB9 RS-232 console port with YOST RJ-45 pinout and a dedicated Ethernet service port for out-of-band (OOB) management functions.

I/O Panel

All fixed data ports (4 × 40GbE quad small form-factor pluggable plus [QSFP+] ports) and the four slots for pluggable modules are on the I/O panel.

The I/O panel includes:

• Pluggable Modules

– 12-Port Ethernet Module (1G/10G speeds)

– 12-Port Fibre Channel Module (2G/4G/8G speeds)

• 4 × 40GbE QSFP+ Ports and light emitting diodes (LEDs)

2. Slot 1 (supports only Ethernet modules)

3. Slot 2 (supports only Ethernet modules)

NOTE

: The LED displays for the system status are on both sides of the chassis. The fan and power status LEDs are

on the Utility panel.

4. Slot 3 (supports only Ethernet modules)

5. Four 40GbE QSFP+ ports (each port ALSO supports 4 × 10GbE mode)

Utility Panel

The Utility panel side of the platform contains the fan and power modules.

5. Grab Handles

Power Supplies

The S5000 supports two hot-swappable PSUs.

NOTE: The PSUs must be installed at the customer site.

The S5000 has SKUs that support the following configurations:

• AC PSU with fan airflow from I/O to Utility

• AC-R PSU with fan airflow from Utility to I/O

• DC PSU with fan airflow from I/O to Utility

• DC-R PSU with fan airflow from Utility to I/O

PSUs are field replaceable. To ensure power redundancy and adequate cooling, install two power supplies in the switch. When running with full redundancy (two PSUs installed and running), you can remove and replace one PSU while the other PSU is running without disrupting traffic.

Fans

The S5000 supports two fan trays with airflow directions from I/O to Utility or Utility to I/O.

Do not mix I/O to Utility and Utility to I/O airflows in a single S5000 chassis. All fans and PSUs in a configuration must be in the same airflow direction. If you create a mixed airflow configuration, the software notifies you of the invalid configuration.

The fans must be installed at the customer site.

Port Numbering Convention

Even-numbered ports are at the bottom of the I/O panel and for modules odd-numbered ports are at the top of the I/O panel.

Figure 4. Port Numbering

The previous figure shows the fixed four 40GbE data ports (ports 48, 52, 56, and 60) and the four slots for pluggable modules on the S5000 I/ O panel. You can also use the 40GbE ports in 4 × 10GbE mode.

The S5000 supports the following possible modules:

• 12-Port Ethernet Module (1G/10G speeds) (slot 0, 1, 2, or 3)

• 12-Port Fibre Channel Module (2G/4G/8G speeds) (slot 0)

The valid slot numbers are stack-unit numbers (from 0 to 11). The valid port numbers for each interface type are:

• 1GbE: Ports 0 to 47

• 10GbE: Ports 0 to 63

• 40GbE: Ports 48, 52, 56, and 60

• Fibre Channel: Ports 0 to 11

• Management: Port 0

System Status

You can view S5000 status information in several ways, including LEDs and through the CLI show commands and with simple network management protocol (SNMP).

For more information about these options, refer to the

Guide for the S5000 Switch

As shown in the following figure, the S5000 includes LED displays on the I/O and Utility side of the chassis. When the S5000 powers up or reloads, the status LED on the power supplies are solid green.

The following table lists the LED definitions for the S5000 system.
