About this Guide 1 This document is intended as a Getting Started Guide to get new systems up and running and ready for configuration. For complete installation and update information, see the following documents at www.dell.com/support: Table 1.
2 Install the Hardware Before installing the switch, verify that you meet these guidelines: • You have enough clearance at the front of the switch so you can read the light emitting diodes (LEDs). • The AC or DC power cord reaches from the power outlet to the Utility panel connector. • The switch is rack-mounted before you power it up. • Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise, such as radios, power lines, and fluorescent lighting.
NOTE: For proper ventilation, position the S6100–ON chassis in an equipment rack (or cabinet) with a minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) of clearance around exhaust vents. The acceptable ambient temperature ranges are listed in the Technical Specifications section under Environmental Parameters. CAUTION: Always wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD)-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the S6100–ON and its components.
• Do not mount the equipment with the Utility panel facing in the downward position. NOTE: These instructions are a condensed reference. Read the safety instructions in your Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory information booklet before you begin. NOTE: The illustrations in this document are not intended to represent a specific switch.
Installing and Removing the System 1. Align the system with the rails and slide the system into the rack. 2. Tighten the screws on each side of the systems’s front panel (1). 3. To remove the system from the rack, loosen the screws and slide the system out of the rack. Figure 1. Installing the S6100–ON System 1. Extra screws to restrict frontback movement of the switch.

Securing the Chassis Ground After you mount the chassis, secure the chassis ground as follows: To properly ground the chassis, Dell Networking recommends using a 6 AWG two-hole lug, #10 hole size, 63" spacing (not included in shipping). The twohole lug must be a UL recognized, crimp-type lug. To connect the ground cable to the framework or cabinet and to mount the unit, use thread-forming unit mounting screws that remove paint or nonconductive coatings. CAUTION: Grounding conductors must be made of copper.
Figure 2. 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 (typically the cable color is 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. The acceptable ambient temperature ranges are listed in the Environmental Parameters section. 3.

WARNING: Install a blank panel in any unused switch I/O slot. NOTE: The S6100-ON has capacitors located on the front-left corner of the PC board.
The slot is keyed so that the I/O module fully inserts in only one way. When you install the I/O module correctly, it snaps into place and is flush with the back of the switch. Figure 4. Installing an I/O Module 1. Ejector lever 3. I/O Module 2. Orange release tab Important Points to Remember The S6100–ON is designed to support two hot-swappable power supplies with integrated fans that provide cooling for the chassis. • • • • The S6100–ON ships with two power supplies.
CAUTION: DO NOT mix airflow directions. Both power supplies must use the same airflow direction (I/O to Utility or Utility to I/O). WARNING: Although the switch can run on one PSU, Dell Networking highly recommends using two PSUs for full redundancy and additional cooling. To avoid overheating when the switch is running with only a single PSU, Dell Networking recommends using PSU1 (on the left) and covering the second PSU slot opening (PSU2) with a blank plate.
Figure 5. Install the AC or DC Power Supply Unit 1. 4. Power supply unit 2. Release tab Attach the power cables (AC 3 prong or DC wiring) from the switch PSU to the external power source. NOTE: The system is powered-up as soon as you connect the power cord between the system and the power source.
Figure 6. Attach the Power Cables 5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the second PSU. NOTE: Ensure that the PSU is correctly installed. When you correctly install the PSU, the power connector is on the left side of the PSU. Connecting a DC Power Supply to the Power Source Each DC powered system comes with a set containing a prewired (3-inch 8AWG) power supply connector and a four-screw wiring block. One set is provided for each DC PSU.

Figure 8. DC Power Connector Ground 1. Ground nut 2. Washer 3. Lock washer 4. Ground cable 5. Device grounding rod To connect a DC PSU to the site’s DC power source, follow these steps: 1. Strip 1/2 inches of insulation from each of the power connector’s wires, as shown. 2. Insert each of the power connector’s bare wire lengths into the wiring block, as shown. 3. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to tighten the screws that secures the bare wires into the wiring block. 4.
NOTE: To remove the power connector from a DC PSU, squeeze the levers on both sides of the connector. Doing so disengages the power connector’s clamps. While continuing to squeeze, pull the power connector from the DC PSU socket. Installing a Fan Module CAUTION: DO NOT mix airflow directions. All fans must use the same airflow direction (I/O to Utility or Utility to I/O). CAUTION: Check the fans at six-month intervals and replace them as necessary.
Installing the SFP+/QSFP Optics The S6100–ON can have up to 64 quad small form-factor pluggable (QSFP) optical ports that support QSFP+ and up to 32 ports that support QSFP28. The system also has two SFP+ optical ports. For a list of supported optics, contact your Dell Networking representative. CAUTION: ESD damage can occur if the components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the S6100–ON and its components.
NOTE: A country/region-specific AC or DC power cable is included in the shipping container for powering up an AC or DC power supply. You must order all other power cables separately. NOTE: Module power is software controlled. You will not see module LEDs when the system powers up in ONIE. When the system powers up, the fans come on at high speed. The fan speed slows as the system boots up. AC or DC Power CAUTION: Ensure that the PSU is installed correctly.
3 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, you must 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.
• Bring all unplated surfaces on your system to a bright finish and treat them with an anti-oxidant solution before making connections. • Remove any non-conductive surfaces on your system from the threads and connection points to ensure electrical continuity. • Use the two-hole, Listed, compression-type lug with a AWG 14 gauge wire to secure your system to the frame. NOTE: The S6100–ON can operate at -48 to -60 VDC at a maximum current level of 24A.
4 Dell Networking OS To initially configure the Dell Networking operating system (OS), use the following sections. NOTE: This topic applies ONLY if you already have the Dell Networking OS installed on your system from the factory. If you are installing a thirdparty OS, see your third-party OS documentation. NOTE: For complete installation and configuration information, see the following documents at www.dell.com/support: • Dell Networking Installation Guide for the S6100–Open Networking (ON) System.
IP Settings To set up the switch, get the following information from your network administrator: • Switch IP address • Subnet mask (IP netmask) • Default gateway (router) • Enable secret password • Enable password • Telnet password Navigating CLI Modes The Dell Networking OS prompt changes to indicate the CLI mode.
NOTE: You must have a password configured on a virtual terminal line before you can Telnet into the S6100–ON system. Therefore, use a console connection when connecting to the system for the first time. Before starting this procedure, be sure that you have a terminal emulation program already installed on your PC. 1. Install an RJ-45 copper cable into the console port. Use a rollover cable to connect the S6100–ON console port to a terminal server. 2.

You must configure the system using the CLI.
Configuring a Host Name The host name appears in the prompt. The default host name is Dell. Host names must start with a letter, end with a letter or digit, and must have characters, letters, digits, and hyphens in the string. • Create a host name. CONFIGURATION mode hostname name Accessing the System Remotely You can configure the S6100–ON system to access remotely using Telnet. The system has a dedicated management port and a management routing table that is separate from the IP routing table.
Creating a Port-based VLAN The default VLAN (VLAN 1) is part of the system startup configuration and does not require configuration. To configure a port-based VLAN, create the VLAN and then add physical interfaces or port channel (LAG) interfaces to the VLAN. • Configure a port-based VLAN (if the vlan-id is different from the Default VLAN ID) and enter INTERFACE VLAN mode. CONFIGURATION mode interface vlan vlan-id After you create a VLAN, assign interfaces in Layer 2 mode to the VLAN to enable the VLAN.
