Frequently Asked Questions

What are the required hardware limitations for the S6100-ON system?

It must support up to four I/O modules for QSFP28, QSFP+, or a mix of 10/25/40/50/100 GbE ports, along with necessary PSUs and fans.

What happens if the fan airflow direction is mixed?

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

Can I install a non-Dell OS on the S6100-ON?

Yes, you can install a supported third party operating system; consult the vendor's website for installation instructions.

What precautions are needed before downgrading the Dell EMC Networking OS?

Before downgrading from 9.14(1.10), save your current configuration and remove the CDB files (confd_cdb.tar.gz.version and confd_cdb.tar.gz).
