3 Site preparations The S6100–ON is suitable for installation as part of a common bond network (CBN). You can install the system in: ● Network telecommunication facilities ● Data centers ● Other locations where the National Electric Code (NEC) applies For more information about S6100–ON specifications, see Specifications. NOTE: Install the S6100–ON system into a rack before installing any optional components.
Rack mounting When you prepare your equipment rack, ensure that the rack is grounded. Ground the equipment rack to the same ground point the power service in your area uses. The ground path must be permanent. System ground Dell recommends grounding your system. Use the S6100–ON in a common bond network (CBN). Connect the grounding cables as described in S6100-ON installation. Fans and airflow The S6100–ON fans support two airflow options: normal and reverse.
NOTE: ESD damage can occur when components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the S6100–ON and its accessories. After you remove the original packaging, place the S6100–ON and its components on an anti-static surface.
4 NEBS compliance For your system to be network equipment building system (NEBS) compliant, you must follow the instructions detailed in this chapter. To be NEBS-compliant, orient your system in the rack so that the air inlet is from the front aisle and the air exhaust is to the rear aisle.
NOTE: Never use the same bolts to secure multiple grounding cables. For rack spans from 22 to 23.375 inches The switch ships without the ground lug attached. To be NEBS-compliant, attach the ground lug using these steps. Figure 6. Switch without ground lug 1. Remove the ground lug from the shipping bag and crimp the ground wire to the lug. The ground wire is not included. NOTE: The grounding cable must comply with your local electrical codes in size and color.

Figure 18. Chassis ground connector a. Ground cable b. Two-hole chassis ground connector 2. Install the grounding cables to the ground nuts. The grounding cable must comply with your local electrical codes in size and color. Wires are typically green or green with a yellow stripe. NOTE: For proper ventilation, position the chassis in an equipment rack or cabinet with a minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) of clearance around exhaust vents.
I/O module installation NOTE: Install a blank panel in any unused switch I/O slot. NOTE: The S6100-ON has capacitors on the front-left corner of the PC board. To avoid damaging these capacitors, align the I/O module with the yellow arrows located inside the chassis and then gently slide the I/O module in place. 1. Remove the I/O module from the electro-static bag. 2. Open the left ejector lever, item 1, by pressing in the orange tab, item 2, and rotating it to the right.
● The S6100–ON supports AC and DC power supplies with two air-flow directions—I/O to PSU and PSU to I/O. The S6100– ON does not support mixing PSU types. The fan airflow direction for the PSUs must be the same. ● Module power is software controlled. You do not see module LEDs when the system powers up. CAUTION: DO NOT mix airflow directions. Both power supplies must use the same airflow direction—I/O to PSU or PSU to I/O.
For example, with 8 x 100G modules, create a two-port LAG using port 1/7 from port pipe 0 and port 1/4 from port pipe 2. With 16 x 40G modules, create a four-port LAG using port 1/12 from port pipe 1, 1/14 from port pipe 0, 2/11 from port pipe 2, and 2/13 from port pipe 3. With 4 x CXP + 4 x QSFP28 modules, create a two-port LAG using port 1/6 from port pipe 1 and port 2/7 from port pipe 2.

Dell recommends reinspecting your system before powering up.
6 Power supplies The S6100–ON supports AC or DC power supplies with two air-flow directions, normal and reverse. Normal airflow is from the I/O to the PSU and reverse airflow is from the PSU to the I/O. Two PSUs are required for full redundancy, but the system can operate with a single PSU. To protect against high-voltage shock, install a power supply blank in all unused power supply slots. The PSU is field replaceable.
CAUTION: Remove the power cable from the PSU before removing the PSU. Also, do not connect the power cable before you insert the PSU in the chassis. NOTE: To comply with the GR-1089 Lightning Criteria for Equipment Interfacing with AC Power Ports, use an external surge protection device (SPD) at the AC input of the router. AC or DC power supply installation NOTE: The PSU slides into the slot smoothly. Do not force a PSU into a slot as this action may damage the PSU or the S6100–ON chassis.
DC power supply connection Each DC powered system comes with a set containing a prewired, 3-inch 8 AWG, power supply connector and a four-screw wiring block. One set is provided for each DC PSU.

3. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to tighten the screws that secures the bare wires into the wiring block. 4. Secure the site’s DC power source wires to the other side of the wiring block, see steps 1 and 3. NOTE: Do not cross the wires—in the wiring block, red aligns with red and black aligns with black. 5. Insert the DC power connector into the power socket of the DC PSU. Ensure that the connector pins firmly seat and you hear the click of the power connector’s left and right levered clamps lock into place.
7 Fans The S6100–ON comes from the factory with two PSUs and four fan module installed in the chassis. The fan module and power supply, which have integrated fans, are hot-swappable. In addition to the power supply modules, you can order and install fan modules separately. The S6100-ON supports two airflow direction options. DO NOT mix airflow types in a chassis; you can use only a single airflow direction in a chassis. If the airflow directions are mismatched, the S6100-ON issues an alarm.
Fan module installation The fan module in the S6100–ON is field replaceable. Module slot 1 is on the left side of the chassis and module slot 4 is on the right side of the chassis. CAUTION: DO NOT mix airflow directions. All fans must use the same airflow direction—reverse or normal. If you mix the airflow direction, the switch detects the discrepancy, issues an alarm, and may auto-shutdown to avoid heat damage to components. You must correct the mixed airflow direction. 1.
Fan air filter replacement 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. CAUTION: Check the fan air filters at six-month intervals and replace them as necessary. To accurately determine air filter replacement intervals, regularly monitor the speeds of the cooling fans.
8 Management ports Besides the 10/25/40/50/100 GbE RJ-45 ports, the S6100–ON system provides several ports for management and storage. Topics: • • • • • RS-232 console port access Micro USB-B console port access USB storage Before you install an OS ONIE service discovery RS-232 console port access The RS-232 console port is on the I/O-side of the S6100-ON chassis, as shown.
