Installing Power Modules  
CAUTION: Do not install the Power Supply 1200W-AC and Power Supply  
1600W-AC in the same chassis. The line cards will power down and data may  
be lost.  
If there is a failure in the power supply, it must be replaced. Power supplies are  
not field serviceable.  
The C150 has six power supply slots at the front-bottom of the chassis. The  
C300 has eight power supply slots at the front-bottom of the chassis. The slots  
accept either AC Power Supplies (PSUs).  
AC Power Supplies  
There are two types of power supplies: Power Supply 1200W-AC and Power  
Supply 1600W-AC. The minimum and the redundant power supplies  
required to operate is listed in the table below. Dell Networking recommends  
the redundancy configuration.

Installing the Hardware  
WARNING: Use only the AC power cord supplied with the AC power supply.  
Do not supply power to your system until the power supplies and fan tray are  
installed, and RPMs and line cards have been installed.  
WARNING: This product relies on the building's installation for short-circuit  
(overcurrent) protection. Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than  
120 VAC, 15A U.S. (240 VAC, 10A international) is used on the phase  
conductors (all current-carrying conductors).  
WARNING: The C300 does not have a main disconnect device installed. It is  
the responsibility of the installer to provide a suitable disconnecting device in  
the building installation and ensure that it is located/installed near the  
equipment and is easily accessible.  
WARNING: The C300 and C150 operates in either of two voltage ranges. The  
different power supply configuration supported is listed in the table below. As  
a safety precaution, do not install more than the recommended maximum  
number of PSUs (given by the table below), as this causes high leakage  
current. Install blank panels in all unused PSU slots.

Installing RPMs and Line Cards  
The C150 system accommodates four Line Cards and two Route Processor  
Modules (RPMs).  
The C300 System accommodates eight line cards and two Route Processor  
Modules (RPMs).  
RPMs  
The C-Series system requires at least one Route Processor Module (RPM); two  
are recommended.  
One RPM provides 48 Gigabits of bandwidth to each line card.  
Two RPMs provides 96 Gigabits of bandwidth to each line card.  
Blanks are required in empty slots to control airflow for adequate system  
cooling, personal safety, and EMI containment during operation. All chassis  
slots must be installed with operational modules or blanks. Always replace  
cards and blank panels immediately.  
The blank panels for RPMs and line cards are different sizes (RPM blanks  
are smaller); be sure that blank panels are installed in the correct slots.  
RPMs are hot-swappable. High Availability is supported.  
If your system contains two RPMs, both RPMs must have the same software  
image.  
RPMs are interchangable between the C300 and the C150 only if they are  
running FTOS version 7.6.1.0 or later.  
10  
Installing the Hardware  
CAUTION: RPMs are designed to be installed in either the R0 or R1 slot. Do  
not force RPMs into line cards slots. RPMs are keyed differently than line  
cards to prevent improper installation.  
Line Cards  
Line cards are hot-swappable. Any line card can be inserted into any line card  
slot. On the C150, line card slots are numbered 0 to 3. On the C300, Line card  
slots are labeled 0 to 7. The slot numbering labels can be seen when the fan tray  
is installed.  
The LC-CB-GE-48P and LC-CB-10GE-8P line cards are interchangeable  
between the C300 and C150 only if the chassis is running FTOS version  
7.6.1.0 or later.  
Blanks are required in empty slots to control airflow for adequate system  
cooling, personal safety, and EMI containment during operation. All chassis  
slots must be installed with operational modules or blanks. Always replace  
cards and blank panels immediately.  
Installing RPMs and Line Cards  
WARNING: Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or foot-heel ground strap  
when handling RPMs or line cards. Place RPMs and line cards on an antistatic  
surface when they are not installed. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can  
occur when components are mishandled.  
CAUTION: Unlock the levers before inserting the line card into the chassis.  
Fully engage the locking mechanism after the card has been inserted; not  
doing so might damage the card below it when that lower card is inserted.  
NOTE: The fan tray face panel has slot number markings for the RPMs and line  
cards. Insert the fan tray before the line cards to simplify RPM and line card  
installation.  
Step  
Task  
1
Extend the left and right card levers by first pressing gently down on the  
thumb tabs in the ejector levers and then pulling the ejector levers  
simultaneously until they are in the open position.

Continue sliding the card until you feel the connectors engage with the  
chassis backplane.  
Rotate the levers toward the card to seat the backplane connectors and  
line card in place. Push on the knurled section of the levers until the  
thumb tabs pop up and lock the unit in place.  
CAUTION: Installing a card without fully engaging the  
locking mechanism might damage the EMI seal on the card  
below it when that card is inserted.  
6
Install a blank panel in all slots that do not have a card, and secure it  
with the screws provided.  
Installing the Fan Tray  
The C-Series chassis contains one field-replaceable fan tray. There are two types  
of fan tray that may be installed: one contains six fans that run at varying speeds  
depending on system temperature; the other one contains six fans that run at a  
constant speed. For both types of trays, air flows through the system toward the  
fans (right to left) and is exhausted on fan-side of the chassis. The fan tray is  
accessible from the front of the chassis.  
WARNING: To ensure proper temperature and airflow control, the fan tray  
must always be installed and operating properly.  
NOTE: The system does not have an air filter so take special care in making sure  
that the installation site and the chassis itself are cleaned regularly.  
Step

The power supply LEDs should be green. If these LEDs are not lit  
green:  
• Check that the unit is properly installed.  
Verify the power source.  
• If the power supply cannot be verified, power off all modules and  
replace the unit.  
5
The fan tray LED should be green (online). You should be able to hear  
the air flowing through the chassis. If the fans are not operating properly  
or air is not flowing through the chassis:  
• Power off all power supplies.  
Verify that the fan tray is properly installed.  
• If the fan tray LED remains unlit, power down the unit, and replace the  
fan tray.  
After you supply power to the system, the following should occur:  
The fan tray should be operating.  
The green (online) fan tray, RPM, and line card LEDs should be lit and  
remain lit as long as the system is receiving power and is operational.  
14  
Installing the Hardware  
When you supply power to the chassis, the system performs a series of power-on  
self tests. RPM and line card LEDs blink as the diagnostic programs run. No  
user interaction is required at this point. Observe the process on your console  
monitor. When the boot process is complete, the card LEDs remain online  
(green) and the console monitor displays the Command Line Interface (CLI)  
prompt.

Configure the Enable Password  
The EXEC Privilege mode is accessed by the enable command. Configure a  
password as a basic security measure. When using a console connection, EXEC  
Privilege mode is unrestricted by default; it cannot be reached by a VTY  
connection if no password is configured. There are two types of enable  
passwords:  
enable password stores the password in the running/startup configuration  
using a DES encryption method.  
enable secret is stored in the running/startup configuration by using a  
stronger, MD5 encryption method.  
Dell Networking recommends using the enable secret password.

Create a VLAN  
The Default VLAN is part of the system startup configuration, and is by default,  
VLAN 1. You may make another VLAN the Default VLAN. The Default  
VLAN cannot be deleted, disabled, or configured (you cannot assign it an IP  
address), and only untagged interfaces can belong to it.  
When an interface is configured, a switchport automatically places it in the  
default VLAN as an untagged interface. All switchports must belong to at least  
one VLAN, so to remove a switchport from the Default VLAN, you must place  
it as tagged or untagged in some other VLAN, or remove the switchport  
configuration.

Assign Interfaces to a VLAN  
A port may either be an untagged member of a single VLAN, or a tagged  
member of perhaps multiple VLANs.  
Untagged Ports — ports that do not append an 802.1Q VLAN tag to frames  
on egress, and do not accept tagged frames on ingress (tagged frames are  
dropped). Untagged ports must be connected to VLAN-unaware devices.  
Tagged Ports — ports that append an 802.1Q tag to frames on egress, and  
accept only tagged frames on ingress (untagged frames are dropped). Tagged  
ports must be connected to VLAN-aware devices.  
When you configure an enabled port as a switchport, the port is placed in the  
default VLAN. To remove a switchport from the default VLAN, remove the  
switchport configuration. To move the port to another VLAN, add it to the  
desired VLAN as either a tagged or untagged member.  
To view just the interfaces that are in Layer 2 mode, enter the show interfaces  
switchport command in the EXEC mode.
