Dell Force10 S50-01-GE-48T Installing S50N and S50V Systems - Page 17

4 Installing the Switch To install S50V or S50N systems, Dell Force10 recommends that you complete the installation procedures in the order presented in this chapter: • Inserting Optional Modules (10-Gigabit or Stacking) • Installing the System on a Tabletop on page 18 • Installing the System in a Rack or Cabinet on page 19 • Stacking on page 23 • Supplying Power on page 27 WARNING: As with all electrical devices of this type, take all the necessary safety precautions to prevent injury when installing this system. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur if components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the switch and its components. See other relevant cautions in the Preface. Inserting Optional Modules (10-Gigabit or Stacking) The S50V (catalog number S50-01-GE-48T-V) and S50N (catalog number S50-01-GE-48T-AC for ACpowered version of S50N; S50-01-GE-48T-DC for S50N-DC) have two expansion slots in the back of the chassis, for which there are four modules available: Module Description 2-port 10GbE XFP (optical connection) 2-port 10GbE CX4 (copper connection) 2-port 12GbE Stacking 1-port 24GbE Stacking Catalog Number S50-01-10GE-2P S50-01-10GE-2C S50-01-12G-2S S50-01-24G-1S The system supports any of the modules inserted in any combination of slots (although connecting all four ports of two 12G stacking modules is not supported, nor is connecting a 12G stack port in one switch to a 24G stack port in another switch). The ports are numbered 49 through 52, from left to right as you face the front of the chassis. So, for clarity in the use of the CLI in port assignment, if you are only using one XFP or CX4 module, insert it in the left-most expansion slot. NOTE: The 10G modules cannot be used for stacking. See Connecting Stack Ports (optional) on page 25. Installing the Switch | 17
