Introduction
This document provides basic information about the S6000 switch, including
how to install the switch and perform the initial configuration. For information
about how to configure and monitor switch features, refer to the FTOS
Configuration Guide for the S6000 System, which is available on the Dell
Support website at support.dell.com/support.
This document contains the following sections:
•Hardware Overview
•Installation
•Technical Specifications
•Installing the Software
Product Description
The S6000 is a fully featured switch/router one rack unit (RU) system that you
can deploy as a spine, leaf, or top of rack (ToR) device where you require 10Gb
and/or 40Gb connections. It contains 32 ports of 40G that you can use to create a
configuration of 96 ports of 10G small form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+) (using
breakout cables) and eight ports of 40G quad small form-factor pluggable
(QSFP).
The S6000 switch runs the Dell Networking operating system (FTOS),
providing switching, bridging, and routing functionality for transmitting data,
storage, and server traffic.
In a data center network, the S6000 switch provides converged network support
and interoperates with Dell Networking and third-party network devices. The
switch supports data center bridging (DCB) features and optimizes connectivity
between servers and storage devices using Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)
and internet small computer system interface (iSCSI) links.

4Introduction
By providing increased 40GbE bandwidth for device interconnection in a shared
network storage environment, with the possibility of splitting 40GbE quad small
form-factor pluggable plus (QSFP+) uplinks into 10GbE SFP+ connections, the
S6000 switch is perfectly positioned to help transition a data center with
multiple speed requirements.
