Frequently Asked Questions

What must all fans and PSUs have regarding airflow direction?

All fans and power supplies must maintain the same consistent airflow direction.

What happens if I mix fan or PSU airflow directions?

The switch detects the discrepancy, issues an alarm, and may auto-shutdown to prevent heat damage.

What are the prerequisite steps for upgrading to the Dell EMC Networking OS 9.14(2.12)?

You must first uninstall the Open Automation (OA) package, then upgrade the OS version, and finally install packages like SmartScripts, Puppet, OMI, and SNMP MIB.
