Setup Guide

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.

WARNING: When working with optical fibers, follow all the warning

labels and always wear eye protection. Never look directly into the end

of a terminated or unterminated fiber or connector as it may cause eye

damage.

1. Position the optic so it is in the correct position. The optic has a key that

prevents it from being inserted incorrectly.

2. Gently insert the optic into the port until it snaps into place.

NOTE: When you cable the ports, be sure not to interfere with the

airflow from the small vent holes above and below the ports.

Supply Power and Power Up the System

Supply power to the S6100–ON after the chassis is mounted in a rack.

Dell Networking recommends re-inspecting your system prior to powering

up. Verify that:

• The equipment is properly secured to the rack.

• The equipment rack is properly mounted and grounded.

• The ambient temperature around the unit (which may be higher than the

room temperature) is within the limits specified for the S6100–ON.

• There is sufficient airflow around the unit.

• The input circuits are correctly sized for the loads and that you use

sufficient overcurrent protection devices.

• All protective covers are in place.

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.
