  • Page 12: Chapter 3: Site Preparations

    Storing components Site selection Install Dell equipment in restricted access areas. A restricted access area is one in which service personnel can only gain access using a special tool, lock, key or other means of security. Access is controlled by the authority responsible for the location.

  • Page 13: Rack Mounting

    Ground the equipment rack to the same ground point the power service in your area uses. The ground path must be permanent. System ground Dell recommends grounding your system. Use the S6100–ON in a common bond network (CBN). Connect the grounding cables as described in S6100-ON installation.
  • Page 14 NOTE: ESD damage can occur when components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the S6100–ON and its accessories. After you remove the original packaging, place the S6100–ON and its components on an anti-static surface. Site preparations...

  • Page 15: Chapter 4: Nebs Compliance

    Before you install the switch into a rack, install the ground (GND) lug assembly. The accessory box includes a UL-certified GND lug and two nuts, packaged separately. If any parts are missing, contact your Dell Sales Representative. CAUTION: Grounding conductors must be made of copper. Do not use aluminum conductors.

  • Page 16: For Rack Spans From 22 To 23.375 Inches

    NOTE: Never use the same bolts to secure multiple grounding cables. For rack spans from 22 to 23.375 inches The switch ships without the ground lug attached. To be NEBS-compliant, attach the ground lug using these steps. Figure 6. Switch without ground lug 1.
  • Page 17 Figure 8. Attach rack rails to rack—front view Figure 9. Rack rails installed 4. Insert the chassis into the rack from the front. Secure the chassis with captive screws and two additional rack screws on each side of the front of the rack. Rack rail screws are not included.

  • Page 23: Chassis Ground

    After you mount the chassis, secure the chassis ground as follows: To properly ground the chassis, Dell recommends using the two-hole lug shipped in a separate plastic bag with your chassis. The two-hole lug must be a UL recognized, crimp-type lug. To connect the ground cable to the framework or cabinet and to mount the unit, use thread-forming unit mounting screws that remove paint or nonconductive coatings.
  • Page 24 Figure 18. Chassis ground connector a. Ground cable b. Two-hole chassis ground connector 2. Install the grounding cables to the ground nuts. The grounding cable must comply with your local electrical codes in size and color. Wires are typically green or green with a yellow stripe.

  • Page 25: I/O Module Installation

    I/O module installation NOTE: Install a blank panel in any unused switch I/O slot. NOTE: The S6100-ON has capacitors on the front-left corner of the PC board. To avoid damaging these capacitors, align the I/O module with the yellow arrows located inside the chassis and then gently slide the I/O module in place. 1.

    PSU to I/O. NOTE: Although the switch can run on one PSU, Dell highly recommends using two PSUs for full redundancy and extra cooling. To avoid overheating when the switch is running with a single PSU, install the second PSU.
  • Page 27 For example, with 8 x 100G modules, create a two-port LAG using port 1/7 from port pipe 0 and port 1/4 from port pipe 2. With 16 x 40G modules, create a four-port LAG using port 1/12 from port pipe 1, 1/14 from port pipe 0, 2/11 from port pipe 2, and 2/13 from port pipe 3.

  • Page 28: System Power-Up

    System power-up Supply power to the S6100–ON after it is mounted in a rack or cabinet. Dell recommends reinspecting your system before powering up. Verify the following: ● The equipment is properly secured to the rack and properly grounded—recommended. ● The equipment rack is properly mounted and grounded—recommended.

  • Page 29: Chapter 6: Power Supplies

    Power supplies The S6100–ON supports AC or DC power supplies with two air-flow directions, normal and reverse. Normal airflow is from the I/O to the PSU and reverse airflow is from the PSU to the I/O. Two PSUs are required for full redundancy, but the system can operate with a single PSU. To protect against high-voltage shock, install a power supply blank in all unused power supply slots.

  • Page 30: Ac Or Dc Power Supply Installation

    CAUTION: Remove the power cable from the PSU before removing the PSU. Also, do not connect the power cable before you insert the PSU in the chassis. NOTE: To comply with the GR-1089 Lightning Criteria for Equipment Interfacing with AC Power Ports, use an external surge protection device (SPD) at the AC input of the router.

  • Page 31: Dc Power Supply Connection

    DC power supply connection Each DC powered system comes with a set containing a prewired, 3-inch 8 AWG, power supply connector and a four-screw wiring block. One set is provided for each DC PSU. Figure 26. DC power connector and wiring block 1.

  • Page 32: Ac Or Dc Power Supply Replacement

    NOTE: If a PSU fails, you must replace the entire unit. There are no field serviceable components in the PSU. To request a hardware replacement, see Dell Support. 1. Disconnect the power cable from the PSU. 2. Use the grab handle and the orange tab to slide the PSU out of the power supply bay.

  • Page 33: Chapter 7: Fans

    Fans The S6100–ON comes from the factory with two PSUs and four fan module installed in the chassis. The fan module and power supply, which have integrated fans, are hot-swappable. In addition to the power supply modules, you can order and install fan modules separately. The S6100-ON supports two airflow direction options.

  • Page 34: Fan Module Installation

    Fan module installation The fan module in the S6100–ON is field replaceable. Module slot 1 is on the left side of the chassis and module slot 4 is on the right side of the chassis. CAUTION: DO NOT mix airflow directions. All fans must use the same airflow direction—reverse or normal. If you mix the airflow direction, the switch detects the discrepancy, issues an alarm, and may auto-shutdown to avoid heat damage to components.
