Install the System into a Four-Post Rack or Cabinet Ensure that there is adequate clearance surrounding the rack or within the cabinet to permit access and airflow. To install a system into a four-post equipment rack using the already attached mounting brackets, follow these steps: Step Task 1 Install the system into the rack. Ensure the long brackets dock into the previously installed rack ears. 2 Fasten the system to the PSU-facing posts using rack mount screws (not included with the system).
www.dell.com | support.dell.com Step Task (continued) 2 Cut the cable to the desired length. The cable length must facilitate proper operation of the fault interrupt circuits. Dell Force10 recommends using of the shortest cable route allowable. 3 Attach the one-hole lug to the chassis using the supplied 10-32 screw with the captive internal tooth lock washer. Torque the screw to 20 in-lbs. Lug Hole Ground Screw Attach the other end of the ground cable to a suitable ground point.
Splitting QSFP Ports to SFP+ Ports The S4810 supports splitting a single 40G QSFP port into four 10G SFP+ ports using one of the supported breakout cables. For the system to recognize the port type change, you must enter the stack-unit portmode command. For example: stack-unit stack-unit port number portmode quad • stack-unit: Enter the stack member unit identifier of the stack member to reset. Range: 0 - 11. • number: Enter the port number of the 40G port to be split. Range:0-31.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com Important Points to Know When stacking the S4810, keep the following in mind: • Data ports are configured as stacking ports in predefined stacking groups of 40G (four 10G ports or one 40G port). • When a stack-group number is assigned, the ports associated with that group are configured as stacking ports (Figure 4-1): • stack-group 0 = ports 0-3, stack-group 1 = ports 4-7, stack-group 2 = ports 8-11, and so on through stack-group 11 = ports 44-47.
You can connect the systems while they are powered down or up. Stacking ports are bi-directional. The S4810 supports stacking in either a ring or a cascade topology (Figure 4-2). To provide redundant connectivity, Dell Force10 recommends using the ring topology when stacking S4810 systems. Figure 4-2. S4810 Stacking Topology Ring Topology ..... .....

Dell Force10 recommends re-inspecting your system prior to powering up. Verify that: • the equipment is properly secured to the rack and properly grounded. • the equipment rack is properly mounted and grounded.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com Power Up Sequence When the system powers up, the fans immediately come on at high speed. The fan speed slows as the system boots up. The PWR Light Emitting Diode (LED) blinks until the boot-up sequence is complete. When the boot up is complete, the PWD LED is steadily lit. AC Power . CAUTION: Ensure that you correctly install the PSU. When correctly installed, the AC power connector is on the left side of the PSU and the status LED is at the top of the PSU (Figure 4-5).
Hot-Swap Units in a Stack You can add, remove, or swap S4810 units in an existing stack. The units in the stack and the new units can be already powered up or powered down. All units in a stack must run the same version of the operating system. If you attempt to attach a unit with a different version of the operating system to an existing stack, the CLI displays an error and the unit is not added until you install compatible software.
