You can install the switch in: ● Network telecommunication facilities ● Data centers ● Other locations where the National Electric Code (NEC) applies For more information about the S4100–ON Series specifications, see Specifications. NOTE: Install the switch into a rack or cabinet before installing any optional components.
The cabinet must meet minimum size requirements. Airflow must be in accordance with the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) standard. Ensure that there is a minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) between the intake and exhaust vents and the cabinet wall. Rack mounting When you prepare your equipment rack, ensure that the rack is grounded. Ground the equipment rack to the same ground point the power service in your area uses. The ground path must be permanent.
NOTE: You do not see module LEDs when the switch powers up in ONIE as the software controls the modules. Storing components If you do not install your S4100–ON Series (S4128F-ON, S4148F-ON, S4148FE-ON, S4128T-ON, S4148T-ON, and S4148U-ON) switch and components immediately, properly store the switch and all optional components following these guidelines: ● S4128F-ON, S4148F-ON, S4148FE-ON, S4128T-ON, S4148T-ON: Storage location temperature must remain constant.
4 S4100–ON Series installation To install the S4100–ON Series (S4128F-ON, S4148F-ON, S4148FE-ON, S4128T-ON, S4148T-ON, and S4148U-ON), complete the installation procedures in the order presented in this section. Always handle the S4100–ON Series switch and its components with care. Avoid dropping the switch or any field replaceable units (FRUs). CAUTION: ESD damage can occur if components are mishandled.
Rack or cabinet installation You may either place the switch on a rack shelf or mount the switch directly into a 19" wide, EIA-310- E-compliant rack. Rack mounting includes four-post, two-post, round threaded holes, or square holes. The ReadyRails system is provided for 1U frontrack and two-post installations. The ReadyRails system includes two separately packaged rail assemblies. To begin installation, separate each rail assembly by sliding the inside rail out of the outside rail.
Figure 16. Separate rails 1U Tool-less mount installation NOTE: For more installation instructions, see the installation labels attached to the rail assembly. 1. Face the ReadyRails flange ears facing outward. Place one rail between the left and right vertical posts. Align and seat the back flange rail pegs in the back vertical post flange. The center extractions show how the pegs appear in both the square and nonthreaded round holes. Figure 17.
2. Align and seat the front flange pegs in the holes on the front side of the vertical post. NOTE: Be sure that the rails click into place and are secure. 3. Repeat this procedure for the second rail. 4. To remove each rail, pull on the latch release button on each flange ear and unseat each rail. Two-post flush-mount installation NOTE: For more installation instructions, see the installation labels attached to the rail assembly. 1.
Figure 19. Two-post center-mount installation 2. Slide the back bracket towards the post. Secure it to the post flange with two user-supplied screws, items 2 and 3. 3. Repeat this procedure for the second rail. Four-post threaded installation NOTE: For more installation instructions, see the installation labels attached to the rail assembly. 1. Remove the latch castings from each end of the ReadyRails assemblies. To remove the two screws each latch casting, use a Torx driver.
Figure 20. Four-post threaded installation 2. For each rail, attach the front and back flanges to the post flanges with two user-supplied screws at each end. S4100-ON Series installation You can mount the switch in the 1U front-rack two-post, flush or center configuration, or a four-post configuration. The following is an example of a front-rack configuration: For the 1U two-post configurations, slide the switch into the rails in the same manner as the four-post configurations.
Figure 21. Switch rail attachment 2. After you install both rails, line them up on the ReadyRails. Slide the switch in until it is flush with the front of rack. About three inches before you fully insert your switch, the rail locking feature engages to keep the switch from inadvertently sliding out and falling. Figure 22.
NOTE: Do not the use the mounted Ready-Rails as a shelf or a workplace. 3. Tighten the two thumb screws and rack screws. To remove the chassis from the rack or cabinet, press in the two side-release bars on the chassis at the same time and slide the chassis forward.
NOTE: When you cable the ports, be sure not to interfere with the airflow from the small vent holes above and below the ports. Optics removal Remove an optic by pushing the tab on the optic and sliding the optic from the port. When removing optics with direct attach cables (DACs) from the port, pull the release tab firmly and steadily. Before pulling the release tab, you may need to gently push the optic into the port to ensure that it is seated properly. Do not jerk or tug repeatedly on the tab.
CAUTION: ESD damage can occur when components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the switch and accessories. After you remove the original packaging, place the switch and components on an anti-static surface. NOTE: Some steps do not apply if you are replacing a different switch or non-Dell EMC switch. 1. Back up the switch configuration to your back-up computer or laptop TFTP server. OS10# copy config://startup.xml config:// 2.
5 Power supplies The S4100–ON Series (S4128F-ON, S4148F-ON, S4148FE-ON, S4128T-ON, S4148T-ON, and S4148U-ON) switch ships with two AC or DC power supplies. The power supplies have two air-flow directions, normal and reverse. Normal is from the I/O-side to the PSU-side. Reverse is from the PSU-side to the I/O-side. The PSUs are field replaceable. When running with full redundancy—two power supplies installed and running, you can remove and replace one PSU without disrupting traffic.
CAUTION: Remove the power cable from the PSU before removing the PSU. Also, do not connect the power cable before you insert the PSU in the switch. NOTE: To comply with the GR-1089 Lightning Criteria for Equipment Interfacing with AC Power Ports, use an external surge protection device (SPD) at the AC input of the router. PSU LEDs ● ● ● ● Solid green—Input is OK. Flashing yellow (amber)—There is a fault with the PSU. Flashing green blink at 1Hz—Switch is in standby/CR state. Off—PSU is off.
AC or DC power supply replacement CAUTION: Disconnect the power cord before removing the power supplies. Also, disconnect all power cords before servicing. NOTE: The PSU slides into the slot smoothly. Do not force a PSU into a slot as this action may damage the PSU or the S4100–ON Series switch. NOTE: If a PSU fails, you must replace the entire unit. There are no field serviceable components in the PSU. To request a hardware replacement, see Dell EMC support.
6 Fans The S4100–ON Series (S4128F-ON, S4148F-ON, S4148FE-ON, S4128T-ON, S4148T-ON, and S4148U-ON) switch comes from the factory with two PSUs and four fan modules installed in the chassis. The fan modules and the power supplies are hotswappable. In addition to the power supply modules, you can order and install fan modules separately. NOTE: The S4100–ON Series switch supports two airflow direction options—normal and reverse. All fans and PSUs MUST have the same airflow direction.
Fan module installation The fan modules in the S4100–ON Series switch are field replaceable. When looking at your switch, Slot 1 is on the left side of the switch and Slot 4 is on the right side of the switch. CAUTION: DO NOT mix airflow directions. All fans must use the same airflow direction—reverse or normal. If you mix the airflow direction, to avoid overheating the switch, correct the mixed airflow. 1. Take the fan module out of the shipping box. 2. Slide the module into the bay. Figure 27.
