Frequently Asked Questions

What are the hardware requirements for the S5048F-ON system?

It requires a 1U switch with 48 1/10/25/40/50/100 GbE ports, 6 100 GbE QSFP28 ports, 8GB RAM, 16GB SSD, and two hot-swappable redundant power supplies.

What happens if I mix fan airflow directions?

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

Can I use non-Dell qualified transceivers?

You can use them, but Dell does not guarantee performance. Non-Dell transceivers of 25G and above will put the interface in an error-disabled state.

What software versions are required?

Minimum requirements are Dell Networking OS 9.14(2.14), ONIE 3.38.1.1-3, DIAG Installer 3.38.3.1-2, and EDA Diags 3.38.4.1-2.
