This guide provides site preparation recommendations, step-by-step procedures for rack mounting and
desk mounting, inserting optional modules, and connecting to a power source.
After you have completed the hardware installation and power-up of the S60 system, for software
configuration information, refer to the FTOS Configuration Guide for the S60 System and for Command
Line Interface (CLI) information, refer to the FTOS Command Line Reference Guide for the S60 System.
NOTE: For information about upgrading your system, refer to the S60 Release Notes. For questions regarding
FTOS versions and upgrades, contact Dell Networking Technical Support.
CAUTION: To avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, wear grounding wrist straps when handling the
S60 system.
WARNING: Only trained and qualified personnel can install the S60 system. Read this guide before installing
and powering up this equipment. The S60 system contains two power cords. Disconnect both power cords
before servicing.
WARNING: This equipment contains optical transceivers, which comply with the limits of Class 1 laser
radiation.
WARNING: When no cable is connected, visible and invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the
aperture of the optical transceiver ports. Avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare into open
apertures.

The S60 System
Introduction
The Dell Networking S60 system is a high-performance, high-capacity, low-cost, stackable, Layer 2
switch/Layer 3 router that supports 44 built-in 10/100/1000 Base-T ports, four Small Form-Factor
Pluggable (SFP) ports, an optional Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) module, and optional 12G
or 24G stacking modules.
The front of the S60 (
Figure 2-1 ) contains the Power Supply Units (PSUs), optional module slots, and the
grounding connectors. The rear of the S60 (
Figure 2-2 ) contains the 44 ethernet ports, optional module
ports, management ports, and displays for alarms and stacking identification.

NOTE: The ethernet ports are labeled 0-43. When cabling these ports, be sure not to interfere with the airflow
from the small vent holes above and below the ports.

LED Displays
As shown in Figure 2-3 , the S60 rear panel contains several sets of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). The
Stacking ID is at the top right corner on the rear of the system and is shown in hexidecimal form. A small
decimal at the bottom right of the LED indicates the stack master.
NOTE: The stacking LED display is not applicable to the first release of the S60 system.
