Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I mix fan and PSU airflow directions?

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

Are non-Dell qualified 25G+ transceivers supported?

No. The switch places the interface in an error-disabled (down) state and generates a syslog message.

How do I upgrade the Dell Networking OS to 9.14.2.0?

Uninstall the older Open Automation (OA) package, upgrade the OS, then reinstall the OA package.

What are the hardware specs for the S4048T-ON?

48 fixed 10GBase-T ports, 6 fixed QSFP+ ports, dual-core 1.7GHz CPU, and dual hot-pluggable PSUs.
