Installation 4 Before installing the switch, verify that you meet these guidelines: • Enough clearance to the front of the switch so you can read the LEDs. • AC/DC power cord reaches from the power outlet to the Utility-panel connector. • Switch is rack-mounted before you install the power supply modules. • Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise, such as radios, power lines, and fluorescent lighting.
Attaching the Mounting Brackets The S5000 is shipped with mounting brackets (rack ears) and the required screws (eight screws) for rack or cabinet installation. The brackets are enclosed in a package with the chassis. 1. Take the brackets and screws out of their packaging. 2. Slide the mounting brackets, as shown in the following figure. Figure 9. Slide the mounting brackets 1. Utility side of the chassis 3. Holding Bracket (factory installed) 2.
• Reverse air flow — Necessary clearance is required to ensure cool air intake and to avoid hot air blow out from I/O panel. • 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 Utility panel facing in the downward position. WARNING: These instructions are a condensed reference.
3. Mounting Bracket Rack Grounding When you prepare your equipment rack, ensure that the rack is earth ground. You must ground the equipment rack to the same ground point the power service uses in your area. The ground path must be permanent. Important Points to Remember for Installing an Ethernet Module • Installing and swapping of Ethernet modules must be done BEFORE power up. If you need to install or replace a module, power down the system before you install or replace it.
NOTE: A blue color release latch indicates that the Ethernet module does not support hot swapping during switch operations. Instead, you must power down the switch before removing and replacing an Ethernet module. A red color release latch indicates that the Ethernet module supports hot swapping during switch operations. Figure 11. Part name and Port number on the Ethernet Module Handle 1 Part Name . 2 Port Number . Installing an Ethernet Module 1.
Figure 12. Installing an Ethernet Module 1. Release latch 2. Ethernet Module Important Points to Remember for Installing a Unified Port Module • You must insert the Unified Port module only in slot 0. • Installing and swapping of Unified Port modules must be done BEFORE power up. If you need to install or replace a module, power down the system before you install or replace it. If you install or replace a module when the system is powered up, the system does not recognize the module.
NOTE: The part name and port number of a Unified Port module are inscribed on the handle as shown below. Figure 13. Part name and Port number on the Unified Port Module Handle 1 Part Name . 2 Port Number . Installing a Unified Port Module 1. Use the grab handle on the Unified Port module to slide it into the switch module slot. 2. Connect any network interface cables to the attached module.
Figure 14. Installing a Unified Port Module 1. Release latch 2. Unified Port Module Important Points to Remember for Installing an AC Power Supply • The PSU slides into the slot smoothly. Do not force a PSU into a slot as this action may damage the PSU or the S5000 chassis. • The S5000 supports AC and DC power supplies with two air-flow directions (I/O to Utility and Utility to I/O).
CAUTION: DO NOT mix airflow directions. The airflow directions are color coded. A red label indicates that hot air is expelled from the PSU and a blue label indicates that hot air is expelled from the I/O. Both power supplies must use the same airflow direction (I/O to Utility or Utility to I/O). The power supplies and fans must have the same color strap.
Figure 16. Connecting AC Power Supply Cords 1. AC3 Prong NOTE: The system is powered-up as soon as you connect the power cord between the system and the power source. CAUTION: Always disconnect the power cable before you service the power supply slots. CAUTION: Use the power supply cord as the main disconnect device on the AC system. Ensure that the socket-outlet is located/installed near the equipment and is easily accessible. 4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 above using the second PSU.

RS-232/RJ-45 Console Port Accessing the RJ-45 Console Port with a DB-9 Adapter You can connect to the console using an RJ-45 to RJ-45 rollover cable and an RJ-45 to DB-9 female DTE adapter to a terminal server (for example, a PC). The pin assignments between the console and a DTE terminal server are as follows: Table 8.
• 8 data bits • 1 stop bit • No flow control When you connect the USB-B port, it becomes the primary connection and, when the system is connected, it sends all messages to the USB-B drive. Figure 24. USB-B Console Port Connector 1. Power on the PC. 2. Install the necessary USB device drivers (you will need an Internet connection). For assistance, contact Dell Networking Technical Support. 3. Connect the USB-A end of cable into an available USB port on the PC. 4.
IP Settings You will need the following information from your network administrator: • Switch IP address • Subnet mask (IP netmask) • Default gateway (router) • Enable secret password • Enable password • Telnet password Configuring the Enable Password To access EXEC Privilege mode, use the enable command. EXEC Privilege mode is unrestricted by default. Configure a password as a basic security measure.
hostname name Navigate CLI modes The FTOS prompt changes to indicate the CLI mode. You must move linearly through the command modes, except for the end command which takes you directly to EXEC Privilege mode and the exit command which moves you up one command mode level. Default Configuration A version of FTOS is preloaded onto the S5000; however, the system is not configured when you power up for the first time (except for the default host name, which is FTOS).
Configuring the Management Port IP Address To access the system remotely, assign IP addresses to the management ports. NOTE: Assign different IP addresses to each stack-unit’s management port. 1. Enter INTERFACE mode for the Management port. CONFIGURATION mode interface ManagementEthernet slot/port 2. • slot range: 0 • port range: 0 Assign an IP address to the interface. INTERFACE mode ip address ip-address/mask 3. • ip-address: an address in dotted-decimal format (A.B.C.D).
encryption-type specifies how you are inputting the password, is 0 by default, and is not required. – 0 is for inputting the password in clear text. – 7 is for inputting a password that is already encrypted using a Type 7 hash. Obtaining the encrypted password from the configuration of another Dell Networking system. Creating a Port-based VLAN The default virtual local area network (VLAN) (VLAN 1) is part of the system startup configuration and does not require configuration.
3. Access the INTERFACE VLAN mode of the VLAN to which you want to assign the interface. CONFIGURATION mode interface vlan vlan-id 4. Configure an interface as untagged. This command is available only in VLAN interfaces. INTERFACE mode untagged interface Assigning an IP Address to a VLAN VLANs are a Layer 2 feature. For two physical interfaces on different VLANs to communicate, you must assign an IP address to the VLANs to route traffic between the two interfaces.
