Frequently Asked Questions
What hardware requirements does the S5048F-ON system have?
It requires 1/10/25/40/50/100 GbE switch, forty-eight 1GbE/10GbE/25GbE SFP28 ports, and six 100 GbE QSFP28 ports.
What should I do if I mix the airflow direction of fan modules or power supplies?
The switch will detect the discrepancy, issue an alarm, and may auto-shutdown. You must correct the mixed airflow direction immediately.
How can I upgrade the Dell EMC Networking OS to version 9.14(2.12)?
You must first uninstall the older Open Automation (OA) package and then follow necessary steps for upgrading the Dell EMC Networking OS and OA packages.
Is there a limitation if I run an earlier BIOS version after an upgrade?
After upgrading to 9.14(2.12) and updating the BIOS via the booted option, you cannot downgrade the BIOS; use FTP/TFTP/SCP instead.
