Installing the Switch
To install S50V or S50N systems, Dell Force10 recommends that you complete the installation
procedures in the order presented in this chapter:
Inserting Optional Modules (10-Gigabit or Stacking)
Installing the System on a Tabletop on page 18
Installing the System in a Rack or Cabinet on page

Stacking on page

Supplying Power on page 27
WARNING: As with all electrical devices of this type, take all the necessary safety precautions to prevent injury when
installing this system. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur if components are mishandled. Always wear an
ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the switch and its components. See other relevant cautions in
the Preface.
Inserting Optional Modules (10-Gigabit or Stacking)
The S50V (catalog number S50-01-GE-48T-V) and S50N (catalog number S50-01-GE-48T-AC for AC-
powered version of S50N; S50-01-GE-48T-DC for S50N-DC) have two expansion slots in the back of
the chassis, for which there are four modules available:
The system supports any of the modules inserted in any combination of slots (although connecting all
four ports of two 12G stacking modules is not supported, nor is connecting a 12G stack port in one switch
to a 24G stack port in another switch). The ports are numbered 49 through 52, from left to right as you
face the front of the chassis. So, for clarity in the use of the CLI in port assignment, if you are only using
one XFP or CX4 module, insert it in the left-most expansion slot.
NOTE: The 10G modules cannot be used for stacking. See
Connecting Stack Ports (optional) on
page 25
.
