Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I use non-Dell qualified 40G transceivers?

The switch places the interface in an error-disabled state and reports a syslog message, indicating the transceiver is unrecognized.

How should I prepare before downgrading OS from version 9.14(1.12)?

Save your current configuration, then use `write memory` and delete the confd_cdb.tar.gz files in flash to avoid a boot error.

What is the minimum required OS version for this S4048-ON platform?

The supported software requires Dell Networking OS 9.14(1.12) and ONIE 3.21.1.0-5.
