Frequently Asked Questions

What warning should I watch out for when installing power supplies or fans?

All installed fans and power supplies must have the same defined airflow direction; mixing directions will trigger an alarm and may cause auto-shutdown.

How do I safely downgrade the Dell Networking OS version on this system?

Before downgrading from 9.14(1.12), save your current configuration and manually remove the CDB files using write memory followed by delete flash://confd_cdb.tar.gz.* commands.

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

The switch will place the affected interface in an error-disabled (operationally down) state and generate a syslog message, as performance is not guaranteed for these optics.
