Dell Force10 S25-01-GE-24P Installing the S25P System - Page 30

Step Task (Continued) 2 If necessary, connect the RJ-45/DB-9 adapter that is shipped with the S25P system to the end of the RJ-45 cable that will connect to your terminal. 3 Verify your terminal default settings match the default settings, as listed above, on the console port: 4 If you use the console port to download software to the switch, you will probably want to raise the console baud rate. Establish a connection with the default settings to verify the connection. Then use the lineconfig command to access the Line Config mode, and use the serial baudrate command to raise the baud rate on the console port. (Match the settings in your terminal access program.) If your system is running SFTOS, see the Getting Started chapter of the SFTOS Configuration Guide for other console port details, such as setting the console timeout. Installing Optics This section contains two subsections: • Installing SFPs on page 31 • Installing XFPs on page 32 The S25N and S25V each have four receptacles at the right end of their faceplates that accommodate 10/100/1000 SFP optical transceivers. On the back of the switches, there are two bays that accept either stacking modules or 10GbE modules (CX4 or XFP). A 10GbE module contains two ports. 10GbE modules should only be inserted or removed when the switch is powered down, as detailed in Inserting Optional Modules (10-Gigabit or Stacking) on page 19 in Chapter 3, Installing the Switch. SFP and XFP transceivers can be inserted or removed while the switch is running. Caution: Before connecting a transceiver to a source, check the receive power of the transceiver with an optical power meter. Generally, Force10 specified optics are not to be subjected to receive power higher than that stipulated by the optic specification. If the optic is exposed to optical power in excess of the specification, there is a high likelihood that it will be damaged.
