Figure 23. 4 x CXP + 4 x QSFP28 port pipes System power-up Supply power to the S6100–ON after it is mounted in a rack or cabinet. Dell recommends reinspecting your system before powering up. Verify the following: • The equipment is properly secured to the rack and properly grounded—recommended. • The equipment rack is properly mounted and grounded—recommended.
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.
The PSUs have an integrated fan, which you cannot replace individually; if the fan integrated in a PSU fails, you must replace the entire PSU. You can replace the fan trays individually. For fan tray replacement procedures, see Fans. WARNING: Prevent exposure and contact with hazardous voltages. Do not attempt to operate this system with the safety cover removed. CAUTION: Remove the power cable from the PSU before removing the PSU.
4 Plug in the appropriate AC three prongs power cord from the switch PSU to the external power source. 5 Repeat steps 1 through 4 above using the second PSU slot on the S6100-ON system. NOTE: The S6100-ON powers up when the cables are connected between the power supply and the power source. 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. Figure 26.

DC power connector ground 1 Ground nut 2 Washer 3 Lock washer 4 Ground cable 5 Device grounding rod 1 Strip 1/2 inches of insulation from each of the power connector’s red and black wires, as shown. 2 Insert each of the power connector’s bare wire lengths into the wiring block. Insert red into one hole and black into the other hole, as shown. 3 Use a flat-blade screwdriver to tighten the screws that secures the bare wires into the wiring block.
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.
1 Fan modules 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.
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. Figure 30.
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 9.
