Chapter 2 Hardware Installation This document is intended to aid you with quick installation and set-up of a new S60 system. • For complete S60 installation information, including illustrations and display details, refer to Installing the S60 System (included in the shipping box with the new chassis). To install the S60 system, Force10 Networks recommends that you complete the installation procedures in the order presented below.
Install the S60 chassis in a rack or cabinet Attach mounting brackets The S60 is shipped with mounting brackets (rack ears) and required screws for rack or cabinet installation. The brackets are enclosed in a package with the chassis. . Note: Force10 recommends attaching the brackets to the front of the chassis, on the PSU side. This provides the greatest weight support for the chassis in the rack or cabinet, and is in compliance with Bellcore Zone 4 earthquake requirements.
Install chassis into rack or cabinet Ensure that there is adequate clearance surrounding the rack or within the cabinet to permit access and airflow. If you are installing two S60 switches side-by-side, position the two chassis at least 5 inches (12.7 cm) apart to permit proper airflow. Follow the steps below to install a switch into a two-post 19-inch equipment rack, using the already attached mounting brackets.
Step Task (Continued) 2 Cut cable to desired length. Cable length must facilitate the proper operation of fault interrupt circuits. Force10 recommends using of the shortest cable route allowable. 3 Attach the two-hole lug to the chassis as shown, using the supplied screws. Any un-plated mating surfaces should be brought to a shiny finish, and apply an anti-oxidant coating to the surfaces prior to mating. Plated mating surfaces must be clean and free from contamination.
Step Task 6 Remove the module from its packaging and slide the module into the slot. 7 Secure the captive screw on the side of the module. Install the SFP and SFP+ optics The S60 has 4 SFP optical ports in the front of the chassis in addition to the optional SFP+ optical modules. To install SFP or SFP+ optics into an open port, follow the steps below: Attention: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur if components are mishandled.
Note: For details on Force10 Networks’ supported optics, refer to http://www.force10networks.com/ products/specifications.asp Supply power and power up the system Supply power to the S60 after they are mounted in a rack (or on a table) and the optional modules are installed. Note: A US AC power cable is included in the shipping container for powering up an AC power supply.
Chapter 3 Getting Started This document is intended to aid you with quick installation and set-up of a new S60 system. • For complete information regarding the configuration of the S60 and FTOS features, refer to the FTOS Configuration Guide for the S60 and the FTOS Command Line Reference Guide for the S60. The system then loads FTOS and boot messages scroll up the terminal window during this process. No user interaction is required if the boot process proceeds without interruption.
Figure 1 S60 serial console port connector Console Port To access the console port, follow the procedures below. Refer to Table 1 for the console port pinout. Step Task 1 Install an RJ-45 copper cable into the console port. Use a rollover cable to connect the S60 console port to a terminal server. 2 Connect the other end of the cable to the DTE terminal server.
Access the USB-B console port The S60 has 2 management ports available for system access: a console port and a USB-B port. The USB-B ports acts exactly as the console port. The terminal settings are the same, and the S60 sends all messages to the USB-B drive when it is connected. The USB-B connector port is labeled on the the S60 chassis. It is to the left of the management ports, as you face the rear of the chassis.
Step 7 Task (Continued) Using the terminal settings shown here, set the terminal connection settings. • 8 12 9600 baud rate, No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, No flow control The CLI command prompt appears (shown below) when you are connected to the S60.

Note: If you are using the Bare Metal Auto-Configuration feature, you do not need to proceed with the following sections. Configure a Host Name The host name appears in the prompt. The default host name is force10. • • Host names must start with a letter and end with a letter or digit. Characters within the string can be letters, digits, and hyphens. To configure a host name: Step 1 Task Command Syntax Command Mode Create a new host name.
1. Configure an IP address for the management port. See Configure the Management Port IP Address. 2. Configure a management route with a default gateway. See Configure a Management Route. 3. Configure a username and password. See Configure a Username and Password. Configure the Management Port IP Address Assign IP addresses to the management ports in order to access the system remotely.
To configure a username and password: Step 1 Task Command Syntax Command Mode Configure a username and password to access the system remotely. username username password [encryption-type] password encryption-type specifies how you are inputting CONFIGURATION the password, is 0 by default, and is not required. • • 0 is for inputting the password in clear text. 7 is for inputting a password that is already encrypted using a Type 7 hash.

The EXEC Privilege mode is unrestricted by default.
The E-Series EtherScale platform architecture uses MMC cards for both the internal and external Flash memory. MMC cards support a maximum of 100 files. The E-Series TeraScale and ExaScale platforms architecture use Compact Flash for the internal and external Flash memory. It has a space limitation but does not limit the number of files it can contain. Note: Using flash memory cards in the system that have not been approved by Force10 can cause unexpected system behavior, including a reboot.
Important Points to Remember • • • • • You may not copy a file from one remote system to another. You may not copy a file from one location to the same location. The internal flash memories on the RPMs are synchronized whenever there is a change, but only if both RPMs are running the same version of FTOS. When copying to a server, a hostname can only be used if a DNS server is configured. The usbflash and rpm0usbflash commands are supported on E-Series ExaScale platform only.
Task Command Syntax Command Mode Save the running-configuration to: the startup-configuration on the internal flash of the primary RPM copy running-config startup-config the internal flash on an RPM copy running-config rpm{0|1}flash://filename Note: The internal flash memories on the RPMs are synchronized whenever there is a change, but only if the RPMs are running the same version of FTOS.
