Frequently Asked Questions

What are the hardware compatibility requirements for the S6100-ON system?

The system requires up to four I/O modules supporting QSFP28, QSFP+, and CXP ports, and supports up to 128 10G/25G/40G/50G/100G ports depending on the module.

How do I install a third-party operating system?

You can install a supported third party OS on the S6100-ON system; refer to the third party OS vendor's website for specific installation instructions.

What happens if I mix the airflow direction of fans and power supplies?

The switch detects the discrepancy, issues an alarm, and may automatically shut down to avoid heat damage. You must correct the mixed airflow direction.
