Introduction

The S6000-ON is a fully featured switch/router one rack unit (RU) system that
you can deploy as a spine, leaf, or top of rack (ToR) device where you require
10Gb and/or 40Gb connections. It contains 32 ports of 40G that you can use to
create a configuration of 96 ports of 10G small form-factor pluggable plus
(SFP+) (using breakout cables) and eight ports of 40G quad small form-factor
pluggable plus (QSFP+).

In a data center network, the S6000-ON switch provides converged network
support and interoperates with Dell Networking and third-party network
devices.

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
S6000-ON switch is perfectly positioned to help transition a data center with
multiple speed requirements.

Power Supplies

The S6000-ON supports two hot-swappable PSUs. The S6000-ON supports AC
power supplies with two air-flow directions (I/O to PSU and PSU to I/O). Two
PSUs are required for full redundancy, but the system can operate with a single
PSU.

NOTE: If you use a single PSU, install a blank plate in the other PSU slot. Dell

Networking recommends using power supply 2 (PSU2) 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.

WARNING: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur if components

are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap
when handling the S6000-ON and its components.

Installing an AC Power Supply

To install an AC power supply, follow these steps.

NOTE: The PSU slides into the slot smoothly. Do not force the PSU into a slot as

this may damage the PSU or the S6000-ON chassis.

NOTE: Ensure that the PSU is correctly installed. When the PSU is correctly

installed, the power connector is on the left side of the PSU and the status LED is at
the bottom of the PSU.

NOTE: If you use a single PSU, install a blank plate in the other PSU slot. Dell

Networking recommends using power supply 2 (PSU2) as the blank plate slot.

Step Task

1 Remove the PSU slot cover from the S6000-ON (the PSU side of switch). You

may select either of the two PSU slots.

2 Remove the PSU from the electro-static bag.
3 Insert the PSU into the switch PSU slot (insert the PSU exposed PCB edge

connector first).

The PSU slot is keyed such that the PSU can only be fully inserted in one
orientation.

2 - Slot
When the PSU is installed correctly, it snaps into place and is flushed with the

back of the switch.

12 Installation

Step Task (continued)

4 Plug in the appropriate cord (AC three prong) from the switch PSU to the

external power source (an AC wall outlet).

5 If you have a redundant PSU (a second PSU), repeat steps 1 through 4 using the

second PSU slot on the S6000-ON switch.

NOTE: The system powers up as soon as the cables are connected between the

power supply and the power source.

Rack Mount the Switch

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™ system is provided for 1U front-rack and
two-post installations. The ReadyRails system 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.

CAUTION: Do not use the mounted Ready-Rails as a shelf or a workplace.
NOTE: The illustrations in this document are not intended to represent a specific

switch.

Rack Mounting 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 you install multiple electrical components 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.

Installation 13

• Elevated ambient temperature — If you install the equipment 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.

• Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in the rack so that you do not
compromise the amount of airflow required for safe operation of the
equipment.

• 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 System

The ReadyRails rack mounting system is provided to easily configure your rack
so that you can install your switch. Install the ReadyRails system using the 1U
tool-less method or one of three possible 1U tooled methods (two-post flush
mount, two-post center mount, or four-post threaded).

1U Tool-less Configuration (Four-Post Square Hole or Unthreaded Round Hole):

1

With the ReadyRails flange ears facing outward, place one rail between the

left and right vertical posts. Align and seat the rear flange rail pegs in the rear
vertical post flange. In Figure 4-1, item 1 shows how the pegs appear in both
the square and unthreaded round holes.
