Dell Force10 S50-01-GE-48T Installing S50N and S50V Systems - Page 42

www.dell.com | support.dell.com Step Task (continued) 4 If you use the console port to download software to the switch, you should raise the console baud rate. If SFTOS is installed, 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 FTOS is installed, to make other console port configuration changes, such as setting the console port timeout or setting up access security, use the line console command in the CONFIGURATION mode. Connecting S50V Ethernet Ports with PoE The copper ports (1 through 48) in the S50V are enabled by default to deliver power to connected powered devices that follow the IEEE 802.3af specification for Power over Ethernet (PoE). For delivering PoE, use the same Cat. 5 cables and RJ-45 connectors that you use for non-PoE connections. The PoE pinout is shown in Figure 6-2. Figure 6-2. RJ-45 PoE Pinout The internal AC 470 watt power supply will limit PoE power to 320 watts if the switch requires power for other uses, and the default PoE configuration limits PoE power to 288 watts. As described in Power over Ethernet (PoE) Support on page 15, you can raise that limit with an external power supply running in loadsharing mode and with certain FTOS and SFTOS commands. The PoE commands of FTOS and SFTOS are summarized here. NOTE: For details on commands that control PoE, see the PoE chapters of the Configuration Guide and Command Reference for your software. 42 | Installing Ports
