Requirements
The following requirements apply to the S6100–ON system.
Hardware Requirements
The following lists the Dell S6100–ON system hardware requirements:
• Up to four I/O modules of 8 x 10/25/40/50/100 GbE QSFP28 port
• Up to four I/O modules of 16 x 10/40 GbE QSFP+ ports
• Up to four I/O modules of 4 x 10/25/40/50/100 GbE QSFP28 ports and 4 x 100 GbE CXP ports
• Up to one hundred twenty-eight 10G ports
• Up to one hundred twenty-eight 25G ports
• Up to sixty-four 40G ports
• Up to sixty-four 50G ports
• Up to thirty-two 100G ports
• One each RJ–45 management and console ports, micro universal serial bus (MicroUSB-B) 2.0 port,
and USB type A port
Rev. A00
May 2016

• Two small form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+) 10G ports
• Two AC or DC power supply units (PSUs)
• Four fans with airflow from the I/O side to the power supply unit (PSU) side or from the PSU side to
the I/O side (optional fan subsystem available)
The following lists the individual Dell S6100–ON system hardware components that are available to
order:
• Fan with airflow from I/O side to PSU side (red — normal air flow direction)
• Fan with airflow from PSU side to I/O side (blue — reversed air flow direction)
• AC or DC power supply with airflow from I/O side to PSU side
• AC or DC power supply with airflow from PSU side to I/O side
NOTE: Fan modules and power supplies are field replaceable units.
NOTE: All fans and PSUs must have the same airflow direction. If you mix the airflow direction, the
switch detects the discrepancy, issues an alarm, and may auto-shutdown to avoid heat damage to
components. You must correct the mixed airflow direction.

2Dell Release Notes for the S6100–ON System

Direct Attach Cables (DACs)
CAUTION: When removing optics with direct attach cables (DACs) from the port, pull the release
tab firmly and steadily. If you have difficulties pulling out the cable, gently push the optic into the
port with one hand to ensure that is seated properly while at the same time pulling the release
tab slightly upwards (towards the cable/module center) with the other hand. Do not jerk or tug
repeatedly on the tab.
Fixed Issues
Fixed issues are reported using the following definitions.
Category Description
PR# Problem Report number that identifies the issue.
Synopsis Synopsis is the title or short description of the issue.
Release Notes Release Notes description contains more detailed information about the issue.
Work around Work around describes a mechanism for circumventing, avoiding, or recovering
from the issue. It might not be a permanent solution.
Issues listed in the “Closed Caveats” section should not be present, and the work-
around is unnecessary, as the version of code for which this release note is
documented has resolved the caveat.
Severity S1 — Crash: A software crash occurs in the kernel or a running process that
requires a restart of AFM, the router, switch, or process.
S2 — Critical: An issue that renders the system or a major feature unusable, which
can have a pervasive impact on the system or network, and for which there is no
work-around acceptable to the customer.
S3 — Major: An issue that affects the functionality of a major feature or negatively
effects the network for which there exists a work-around that is acceptable to the
customer.
S4 — Minor: A cosmetic issue or an issue in a minor feature with little or no
network impact for which there might be a work-around.

Installation Instructions
For installation instructions, see the Dell Installation Guide for the S6100–ON System.
Update Instructions
To upgrade the ONIE/DIAG/BIOS package, use the following instructions.
4Dell Release Notes for the S6100–ON System

Upgrading the ONIE/DIAG/BIOS/CPLD Package for the S6100–ON
To upgrade the ONIE package you have installed, use one of the following two processes: zero touch
(dynamic) update and manual update.
1. Zero Touch (Dynamic) Update Process
2. Copy the upgrade ONIE installer and the DIAG installer for your system to the TFTP/HTTP server.
3. Configure a DHCP server and set option 2, Updater URL.
4. Select ONIE: Update ONIE from the ONIE boot menu. ONIE Update uses ONIE Service Discovery
to obtain the onie-updater image. The Discovery methods are used in this order:
a. passed from boot loader
b. local file system (for example, USB storage)
c. specific URL from DHCPv4
d. other URLs from DHCPv4
e. IPv6 neighbors
f. TFTP waterfall
5. Manual Update Process
The following is an example of manually updating ONIE.
Make sure onie-boot-mode is set to Update mode before proceeding to self-update.onie Boot
mode.
You can set Update mode in two ways:
• Use the onie-boot-mode —o update command.
• Select ONIE: update ONIE from the ONIE menu.
To update your existing ONIE image, boot into ONIE Update mode and run the following command.
The example uses TFTP to upgrade ONIE.
Manually upgrade ONIE using the onie-self-update command.
ONIE:/ # onie-self-update tftp://<tftp-server-ip>/<onie-updater-image-path>/

Installing the DIAG Tools
The DIAG tools are not part of the Diag-OS install. You must install them separately. Boot into the
DIAG-OS and, at the CLI, download the tools package (scp
<login>@<serveraddress>:<location>/dn_diags-<s6100>–DiagOS-1.10.deb).
root@dell-diag-os:~# scp <name>@x.x.x.x://tftpboot/sm/S6100/dn-diags-S6100-
DiagOS-1.10-2015-11-23.deb .
The authenticity of host 'x.x.x.x (x.x.x.x)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 6f:d7:dc:89:6d:c0:70:f1:32:6c:46:47:f9:65:13:94.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
