Setup Guide
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. The AC or DC 
power connector must be on the left side of the PSU and the status 
LED at the top of the PSU.
Connect the plug to each AC or DC power connector. Make sure that the 
power cord is secure.
When you connect the cable between the S6100–ON and the power source, 
the switch is powered-up; there is no on/off switch.
Fan
The fan module and the integrated fan-power supply is hot-swappable.
NOTE: The S6100–ON supports two airflow direction options. You can 
only use a single direction in a chassis; do not mix fan flow types.
• Normal — airflow from the I/O panel to the power supply.
• Reversed — airflow from the power supply to the I/O panel.
There are environmental factors that could decrease the amount of time 
required between fan replacements. Check these environmental factors 
regularly. Any unusual environmental circumstance at the site that causes an 
increase in temperature and/or particulate matter in the air might affect 
performance (for example, new equipment installation).
After Installing the S6100–ON
After you have securely installed and powered on the S6100-ON, to configure 
your system, see your ONIE-compatible operating system documentation.
