Frequently Asked Questions

What are the minimum software requirements for the S5048F-ON?

The system requires Dell EMC Networking OS 9.14(2.9), ONIE 3.38.1.1-3, DIAG Installer 3.38.3.1-2, EDA Diags 3.38.4.1-2, and ONIE Firmware Updater 3.38.5.1-0.

What happens if I mix fan and power supply airflow directions?

The switch detects the discrepancy, issues an alarm, and may auto-shutdown to avoid heat damage; all fans and PSUs must have the same airflow direction.

What are the prerequisite steps to upgrade the Dell EMC Networking OS?

1. Uninstall the older Open Automation package. 2. Upgrade the OS to 9.14.2.0 or later. 3. Install SmartScripts, Puppet, OMI, and SNMP MIB packages.
