Orderable S3100 Series Components The S3100 series has the following orderable components: • Second power supply (two is the maximum per switch). – S3124, , S3124F, and S3148 platforms support a 200W PSU.
3 Site Location and Preparation You can mount S3100 series switches in a standard 48.26 cm (19-inch) rack or placed on a flat surface. You can install the system in: • Network telecommunication facilities • Data centers • Other locations where the national electric code (NEC) applies NOTE: Install the system into a rack or cabinet before installing any optional components.
4 Install a S3100 Series System To install a S3100 series system, Dell Networking recommends completing the installation procedures in the order presented. Always handle the system and its components with care. Avoid dropping the system or its field replaceable units (FRUs). WARNING: ESD damage can occur if components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the system and its components.
• Software License Agreement. 1 Place the container on a clean, flat surface and cut all straps securing the container. 2 Open the container or remove the container top. 3 Carefully remove the switch from the container and place it on a secure and clean surface. 4 Remove all packing material. 5 Inspect the product and accessories for damage.
6 If you use a single PSU, install a blank plate in the other PSU slot. Figure 23. Installing a Power Supply Replacing a Power Supply To replace a power supply, follow these steps: NOTE: If a PSU fails, you must completely replace it. There are no field serviceable components in the PSU. To request a replacement, see Dell Networking Support. NOTE: If you use a single PSU, install a blank plate in the other PSU slot. Dell Networking recommends using power supply 1 (PSU1) as the blank plate slot.
3 Tighten the captive screws on the fan tray with a screwdriver. Ensure that the fan tray is secure. Figure 24. Installing a Fan Tray Replacing a Fan Tray To replace a fan tray, follow these steps: NOTE: Environmental factors can decrease the amount of time required between fan replacements. Check the environmental factors regularly. An increase in temperature and/or particulate matter in the air might affect performance (for example, new equipment installation).
Install Rack or Cabinet Hardware You may either place the switch on the rack shelf or mount the switch directly into a 19" wide, EIA-310-E-compliant rack (fourpost, two-post, or threaded methods). The ReadyRails system is provided for one 1U front-rack and two-post installations. The ReadyRails system includes two separately packaged rail assemblies. WARNING: This is a condensed reference. Read the safety instructions in your Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory information booklet before you begin.
4 To remove each rail, pull on the latch release button on each flange ear and unseat each rail. See item 3 in the following illustration. Figure 25. 1U Tool-Less Configuration Configuring a Two-Post Flush-Mount To install your switch using a two-post flush-mount configuration, follow these steps. 1 For this configuration, remove the castings from the front side of each ReadyRails assembly. See item 1 in the following illustration.
4 Repeat this procedure for the second rail. Figure 26. Installing the Switch using a Two-Post Flush-Mount Configuration Configuring a Two-Post Center-Mount To install your switch in a two-post center-mount configuration, follow these steps. 1 Slide the plunger bracket rearward until it clicks into place and secure the bracket to the front post flange with two usersupplied screws. See item 1 in the following illustration.
3 Repeat this procedure for the second rail. Figure 27.
Configuring a Four-Post Thread To install your switch in a four-post thread configuration, follow these steps. 1 For this configuration, remove the flange ear castings from each end of the ReadyRails assemblies. To remove the two screws from each flange ear and remove each casting, use a Torx driver. See item 1 in the following illustration. Retain the castings for future rack requirements. 2 For each rail, attach the front and rear flanges to the post flanges with two user-supplied screws at each end.
Installing a 1U Front-Rack To install the switch in a 1U front-rack configuration, configure the rails that are attached to the system. 1 Attach the switch rails (inner chassis members) to the switch. Item 3 in the following illustration shows the detail for the front standoff with the locking tab. Figure 29. Attaching the Switch Rails 2 After you have installed both switch rails, line them up on the previously mounted ReadyRails and slide the switch in until it is flush with front of rack.
NOTE: Do not the use the mounted ReadyRails as a shelf or a workplace. Figure 30. Installing the Switch in a Front-Rack Configuration Connecting the Stacking Ports (Optional) You can connect up to 12 switches to operate as a single unit, using two fixed Mini Serial Attached SCSI (miniSAS) stacking connectors on the PSU side. When you connect multiple switches together through the stack ports, the stack operates and is managed as a single entity.
3 Use the remaining stacking cable to connect the two remaining stacking ports together so that a ring topology is assembled. Figure 31. Connecting a Stack of Switches A stack of three switches connected in a ring topology has these physical connections between the switches: 1. The bottom mini-SAS port on Unit 1 is connected to the top mini-SAS port on Unit 2. 2. The bottom mini-SAS port on Unit 2 is connected to the top mini-SAS port on Unit 3. 3.
Accessing the Console The console port is on the I/O side of the chassis (item 1 in the following illustration). Figure 32. Console Port Location NOTE: You must have a password configured on a virtual terminal line before you can Telnet into the system. Therefore, use a console connection when connecting to the system for the first time. Before starting this procedure, be sure that you have a terminal emulation program already installed on your PC.
