Introduction

This document provides basic information about the Dell

®

Networking

N4000 Series switches: N4032, N4032F, N4064, N4064F, including how to

install a switch and perform the initial configuration. For information about

how to configure and monitor switch features, see the User’s Configuration

Guide, which is available on the Dell Support website at

dell.com/support for

the latest updates on documentation and firmware.

This document contains the following sections:

• Hardware Overview

• Installation

• Starting and Configuring the Switch

Features

The Dell Networking N4000 Series are highly scalable, non-stop networking

switches for campus aggregation and core switching 10 GbE deployments.

The family of Layer 3 switches delivers 10/40 GbE wire-speed performance

required to power demanding Enterprise and business infrastructures, while

enabling scalability and high density 10 GbE operation with simplified

management.

The N4000 Series delivers high availability and redundancy for small core and

aggregation deployments that helps grow your network to high density 10

GbE operation and to 40 GbE for the Enterprise core. The family delivers

high density stacking with either 10GbE or 40GbE ports, manageable as a

single logical unit, as well as redundancy with power supplies, fans and

firmware images. Simplified management also includes a USB Rapid

Deployment feature to expedite network addressing at bootup, as well as

streamline firmware image installs across the entire stack. Flexible

management options include an industry-standard CLI, remote management

using the embedded web server, and support for SNMP-based management

applications including Dell OpenManage™ Network Manager.

6

Hardware Overview

The N4000 Series includes storage networking support and iSCSI

optimization. To simplify connectivity with Dell EqualLogic arrays, the iSCSI

Auto-Configuration feature in all N4000 Series switches automatically

detects the arrays and configures the switch for optimal throughput. This

feature is enabled by default, streamlining the process to just connecting a

cable. Connectivity with Dell Compellent arrays is also simplified with a

single command configuration.

Dell designed the N4000 Series for energy savings from the power cord to the

ports, starting with EEE-capable ports to reduce active and passive port

power consumption for all ports. In addition to redundant power supplies

that can operate efficiently in all modes, variable speed fans reduce

consumption by adjusting their speed for their environment through multiple

temperature monitors. Lastly, the N4000 Series includes Dell’s Lifetime

Limited Warranty with Basic Hardware Service (repair or replacement) for

life.

UART Interface

The UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) port is modeled

after the industry standard 16550 UART devices. The UART port provides

serial communication capabilities, which allows communication with the

model or other external devices using RS-232 protocol. A serial port provides

a direct connection to the switch and allows you to access the CLI from a

console terminal connected to the port through the provided serial cable

(with RJ45 YOST to female DB-9 connectors).

The UART port is separately configurable and can be run as an asynchronous

link from 1200 baud to 4M baud.

The UART interface can be programmed with the following options:

• 5, 6, 7, or 8 character bits

• 1, 1.5, or 2 stop bits

• Parity option

• Even/odd parity (if parity option is enabled)

• Sticky parity (if parity option is enabled)

The defaults are 9600 baud rate, 8 data bits, No Parity, 1 Stop Bit, No Flow

Control.

Installation

Rack Mounting Safety Considerations

• Rack loading—Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in shelf

or rack failure, causing damage to equipment and possible personal injury.

Stabilize racks in a permanent location before loading begins. Mount

components beginning at the bottom of the rack, then work to the top. Do

not exceed your rack load rating.

• Power considerations—Connect only to the power source specified on the

unit. When multiple electrical components are installed in a rack, ensure

that the total component power ratings do not exceed circuit capabilities.

Overloaded power sources and extension cords present fire and shock

hazards.

• Elevated ambient temperature—If installed in a closed rack assembly, the

operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room

ambient. Use care not to exceed the 50 degrees C maximum ambient

temperature of the switch.

• Reduced air flow—Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount of

airflow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

• Reliable earthing—Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted

equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than

direct connections to the branch circuit, for example: use of power strips.

• Product should not be mounted with the rear panel facing in the

downward position.
