Setup Guide

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.

WARNING: ESD damage can occur if components are mishandled.

Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when

handling the S6100–ON and its components.

WARNING: To prevent electrical shock, ensure that the S6100–ON is

grounded properly. If you ground your equipment incorrectly,

excessive emissions may result. To ensure that the power cables meet

your local electrical requirements, use a qualified electrician.

NOTE: The Utility panel consists of two slots, PSU1 and PSU2. Insert

PSUs in both slots.

NOTE: If you remove and re-insert a module in the same slot, the

system detects the module. However, if you remove a module from a

slot and insert a different module into that same slot, the system does

not detect the new module.

Installing AC or DC Power Supplies

1. Remove the PSU from the electro-static bag.

2. Remove the PSU slot cover from the S6100-ON.

3. Use the grab handle and orange tab to slide the PSU into the switch PSU

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

one direction.
