About this Guide This document is intended as a Quick Start Guide to get new systems up and running and ready for configuration.
1 Installing the Hardware This guide assumes all site preparation has been performed before installing the chassis. Installing the Chassis To install the C7004/C150 and the C7008/C300 chassis, Dell Networking recommends completing the installation procedures in the order presented below. NOTE: Unless stated otherwise, the installation instructions apply to both the C7004/C150 and C7008/C300 chassis. Always handle the system and its components with care.
Follow these steps to install the chassis into a 19-inch equipment rack: Step 6 Task 1 Determine the chassis mounting location in the equipment rack. 2 Orient the bar with the arrows pointing upward. The smooth side of the bar should face outward. 3 Attach the bar to the equipment rack brackets using the mounting screws provided by the rack manufacturer.
Step 5 Task Insert screws (provided with your rack) through the chassis rackmounting bracket and into the equipment rack, and tighten them.
Installing Power Modules CAUTION: Do not install the Power Supply 1200W-AC and Power Supply 1600W-AC in the same chassis. The line cards will power down and data may be lost. If there is a failure in the power supply, you must replace it. Power supplies are not field serviceable. The C7004/C150 has six power supply slots at the front-bottom of the chassis. The C7008/C300 has eight power supply slots at the front-bottom of the chassis. The slots accept either the 1200W or 1600W AC power supply units (PSUs).
For Dell Networking OS version 8.4.6.0, the minimum PSUs required for system power is based on the power requirements of the RPMs, the line cards, and the type of fan tray present in the chassis. System Power Required = Power required for 2 RSMs + Power Required for Fan Tray + Power required for Line cards in the system.
WARNING: The C7008/C300 and C7004/C150 operates in either of two voltage ranges. The different power supply configuration supported is listed in the following table. As a safety precaution, do not install more than the recommended maximum number of PSUs (shown below), as this causes high leakage current. Install blank panels in all unused PSU slots.
Installing RPMs and Line Cards The C7004/C150 system accommodates four line cards and two route processor modules (RPMs). The C7008/C300 System accommodates eight line cards and two route processor modules (RPMs). RPMs The C-Series system requires at least one RPM; however, Dell Networking recommends two RPMs. • One RPM provides 48 Gigabits of bandwidth to each line card. • Two RPMs provides 96 Gigabits of bandwidth to each line card.
(SERIES CB)) line cards are interchangeable between the C7008/C300 and C7004/C150 only if the chassis is running Dell Networking OS version 7.6.1.0 or later. • To control airflow for adequate system cooling, personal safety, and EMI containment during operation, blanks are required in empty slots. Yoou must install all chassis slots with operational modules or blanks. Always replace cards and blank panels immediately.
Step 5 Task Rotate the levers toward the card to seat the backplane connectors and line card in place. Push on the knurled section of the levers until the thumb tabs pop up and lock the unit in place. CAUTION: Installing a card without fully engaging the locking mechanism might damage the EMI seal on the card below it when you install that card. 6 Install a blank panel in all slots that do not have a card, and secure it with the screws provided.

Power Up Sequence Before you supply power to the chassis, Dell Networking recommends reinspect your equipment rack and chassis. CAUTION: Never operate the system without a fan tray.
Step Task 1 Verify that the power source complies with the system input power requirements. 2 Energize the remote power source or outlet. 3 On the C7004/C150, toggle the switch on the AC power supplies to the ON (right) position. On the C7008/C300, toggle the switch on the AC power supplies to the ON (top) position. 4 The power supply LEDs shows green. If these LEDs are not lit green: • Check that the unit is properly installed. • Verify the power source.

2 Installing the Software Navigating CLI Modes The Dell prompt changes to indicate the CLI mode. You must move linearly through the command modes, with the exception of the end command which takes you directly to EXEC Privilege mode; the exit command moves you up one command mode level. Console Access The console port is an asynchronous serial port. If you connect a device to these ports, it must be capable of asynchronous transmission. Step Task 1 Install an RJ-45 copper cable into the console port.
Cable and Adapter Pin Assignments To connect to a terminal port, PC serial port, or a terminal server, use the console port on the RPM to configure and monitor your system. An RJ-45 Ethernet cable is required to connect to the Ethernet port. The console port is an RJ-45 and the pinouts are listed in Table 2-1. Table 2-1.
Table 2-2. Pin Assignments Between the Console and a DTE Terminal Server Console Port RJ-45 to RJ-45 Rollover Cable RJ-45 to DB-9 Terminal Adapter Server Device Signal RJ-45 Pinout RJ-45 Pinout DB-9 Pin Signal GND 5 4 5 GND RxD 6 3 3 TxD DSR 7 2 4 DTR CTS 8 1 7 RTS Accessing the Console with a DB-25 Adapter You can connect to the console port using an RJ-45 to RJ-45 rollover cable and an RJ-45 to a DB-25 female DTE adapter. Table 2-3.
Default Configuration A version of the Dell Networking OS is pre-loaded onto the chassis, however the system is not configured when you power up for the first time (except for the default host name, which is Dell). You must configure the system using the CLI. Configure Layer 2 (Data Link) Mode To enable Layer 2 data transmissions through an individual interface, use the switchport command in INTERFACE mode.
Access the System Remotely You can configure the system to access it remotely by Telnet. The systems have a dedicated management port and a management routing table that is separate from the IP routing table. Configuring the system for Telnet is a three-step process: Step Task 1 Configure an IP address for the management port. 2 Configure a management route with a default gateway. 3 Configure a username and password.
Task Command Syntax Command Mode Configure an IPv4 or IPv6 management route {ipv4-address CONFIGURATION management route to the | ipv6-address}/mask gateway network from which you are accessing the system. Configure a Username and Password Configure a system username and password. Task Command Syntax Configure a username username username password and password to [encryption-type] password access the system remotely.
Create a VLAN The default virtual local area network (VLAN) is part of the system startup configuration, and is by default, VLAN 1. You may make another VLAN the default VLAN. You cannot delete, disable, or configure the default VLAN (you cannot assign it an IP address), and only untagged interfaces can belong to it. When you configure an interface, a switchport automatically places it in the default VLAN as an untagged interface.
Step Task Command Syntax 1 Assign a switchport to a VLAN. 2 Display all switchports show vlan and the VLANs of which they are members. Command Mode [tagged | untagged] interface INTERFACE VLAN EXEC Privilege Assign an IP address to a VLAN NOTE: You cannot assign an IP address to the default VLAN, which, by default, is VLAN 1. To assign another VLAN ID to the default VLAN, use the default vlan-id vlan-id command.
