Chapter Installing the PowerConnect B-FCX Switch 2 CAUTION The procedures in this manual are intended for qualified service personnel. CAUTION Before beginning the installation, see the precautions in “Power precautions” on page 17. Unpacking the device PowerConnect B-FCX devices ship with all of the items listed below. Verify the contents of your shipping container. If any items are missing, please contact the place of purchase.
2 Installation tasks Installation tasks Follow the steps listed in Table 15 to install your device. Details for each of these steps are provided on the pages indicated. TABLE 15 Installation tasks Task Number Task Where to Find More Information 1 Ensure that the physical environment that will host the device has the proper cabling and ventilation. “Preparing the installation site” on page 18 2 Install any required optional modules into the switch.
2 Installation precautions General precautions CAUTION All fiber-optic interfaces use Class 1 lasers. CAUTION Do not install the device in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might exceed 40 C (104 F). CAUTION Make sure the air flow around the front and sides of the device is not restricted. CAUTION Never leave tools inside the device.
2 Preparing the installation site CAUTION Ensure that the device does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection. To determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add the ampere (amp) ratings of all devices installed on the same circuit as the device. Compare this total with the rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the devices near the input power connectors.
Preparing the installation site 2 • Allow for the unit to be connected to a separate grounded power outlet that provides 110 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz, is within 2 m (6.6 feet) of each device and is powered from an independent circuit breaker. As with any equipment, a filter or surge suppressor is recommended. Installing the device You can install Dell devices on a desktop or in an equipment rack, use appropriate retainer nuts and screws provided.
2 Preparing the installation site Rack mount installation NOTE You need a #2 Phillips screwdriver for installation. NOTE For additional support for the stack of switches, refer to the Dell 1U shelf, Dell part number-G118R, which is ordered separately.
2 Preparing the installation site FIGURE 20 Attaching the brackets for PowerConnect B-FCX624 and PowerConnect B-FCX648 3. Install retainer nuts into the non-threaded holes. And use 10-32 screws to fasten brackets into the rack. Attach the device in the rack as illustrated in Figure 21. FIGURE 21 Installing the device in a rack 4. If installing a single switch only, proceed to “Powering on the system” on page 24. 5.
2 Preparing the installation site In a linear stack topology there is a single stack cable connection between each switch that carries two-way communications across the stack. In ring stack topology, an extra cable is connected between the top and bottom switches forming a “ring” or “closed-loop.” The closed-loop cable provides a redundant path for the stack link, so if one link fails, stack communications can be maintained. Figure 5 illustrates a ring-topology stacking configuration.
2 Preparing the installation site 5. One device in the stack will operate as the Active Controller, one will operate as Standby Controller, with the rest of the units operating as stack members. For information about how to configure your stack, see the PowerConnect B-FCX Series Configuration Guide. PowerConnect B-FCX624 and PowerConnect B-FCX648 devices Figure 23 and Figure 24 show how stacking cables are connected between PowerConnect B-FCX624 and PowerConnect B-FCX648 devices in a stack.

Chapter Checking Network Devices and Testing Connectivity 3 CAUTION The procedures in this manual are for qualified service personnel. Assigning permanent passwords By default, the CLI is not protected by passwords. To secure CLI access, Dell strongly recommends assigning passwords. See the PowerConnect B-FCX Series Configuration Guide. NOTE You cannot assign a password using the Web Management Interface.
3 Assigning permanent passwords Setting passwords 1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter the following command to change to the Privileged level of the EXEC mode: PowerConnect> enable 2. Access the CONFIG level of the CLI by entering the following command: PowerConnect# configure terminal PowerConnect(config)# 3.
3 Configuring IP addresses Configuring IP addresses You must configure at least one IP address using the serial connection to the CLI before you can manage the system using the other management interfaces. Dell devices support both classical IP network masks (Class A, B, and C subnet masks, and so on) and Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR) network prefix masks. • To enter a classical network mask, enter the mask in IP address format. For example, enter “209.157.22.99 255.255.255.
3 Configuring IP addresses Syntax: [no] ip address or Syntax: [no] ip address / Syntax: ip default-gateway Devices running Layer 3 software Before attaching equipment to a Layer 3 Switch, you must assign an interface IP address to the subnet on which the router will be located. You must use the serial connection to assign the first IP address. For subsequent addresses, you also can use the CLI through Telnet or the Web management interface.
Configuring IP addresses 3 Use the secondary parameter if you have already configured an IP address within the same subnet on the interface. Configuring IP parameters for devices running Layer 3 software This section describes how to configure IP parameters for devices running Layer 3 software.
3 Configuring IP addresses You can add up to 24 IP addresses to each loopback interface. NOTE If you configure the Dellswitch to use a loopback interface to communicate with a BGP4 neighbor, you must also configure a loopback interface on the neighbor and configure the neighbor to use that loopback interface to communicate with theDell switch.
Configuring IP addresses 3 To delete all IP addresses from an interface, enter the following command: PowerConnect(config-if-1/1/1)# no ip address * Syntax: no ip address | * Connecting network devices Dell devices support connections to other vendors’ routers, switches, and hubs, as well other Dell devices.
