Frequently Asked Questions
What are the hardware requirements for the Z9100-ON system?
It requires a 10/25/40/50/100 GbE switch with 32 QSFP28 ports, management port, console ports, two SFP+ ports, and AC/DC power supplies with specific airflow directions.
What happens if I mix fan airflow directions?
The system detects the discrepancy, issues an alarm, and may auto-shutdown to prevent heat damage.
What are the software prerequisites for upgrading the Dell EMC Networking OS to 9.14(2.11)?
You must uninstall the older Open Automation (OA) package, upgrade the OS, and then install SmartScripts, Puppet, OMI, and SNMP MIB packages.
Can I downgrade the BIOS after upgrading the OS to 9.14(2.11)?
No, the system does not allow downgrading the BIOS. To use an earlier version, you must use FTP, TFTP, or SCP options from the current OS version.
