Frequently Asked Questions
What are the primary port configurations available on the Dell S5248F-ON? +
The Dell S5248F-ON is a high-density, 1U rackmount switch featuring 48 ports of 25GbE SFP28 for server connectivity. Additionally, it offers four 100GbE QSFP28 ports and two 100GbE QSFP-DD ports to provide flexible high-speed uplinks, making it an ideal choice for modern data center leaf-spine architectures requiring significant throughput.
Does the S5248F-ON support different airflow configurations? +
Yes, this specific unit is configured with an IO to PSU airflow pattern. This is critical for deployment in hot/cold aisle data center environments where the direction of exhaust must align with existing rack cooling systems. Always verify your current rack layout to ensure the IO to PSU airflow matches your existing infrastructure requirements.
Which operating system does the Dell S5248F-ON run by default? +
This switch ships with Dell EMC Networking OS10. OS10 is a programmable, disaggregated network operating system based on Linux, which provides deep visibility and automation capabilities. It simplifies deployment cycles by supporting standard protocols and seamless integration with various third-party orchestration tools commonly used in enterprise and cloud environments.
Is the S5248F-ON suitable for leaf-spine network architectures? +
Absolutely. The S5248F-ON is specifically designed as a leaf switch for high-performance data centers. Its combination of 25GbE downlink ports and 100GbE uplink capacity allows for non-blocking, low-latency traffic flow. It is optimized to handle the intensive east-west traffic patterns characteristic of modern virtualized and containerized environments.
What is the power redundancy configuration for this switch? +
This unit comes equipped with dual (2x) power supply units. Utilizing redundant PSUs is a standard enterprise networking requirement to prevent downtime during power supply failures or maintenance. These units are hot-swappable, ensuring that the switch maintains continuous operation and high availability for your critical server workloads.
Can I use breakout cables with the 100GbE ports on the S5248F-ON? +
Yes, the 100GbE QSFP28 and QSFP-DD ports are designed for flexibility. Depending on your specific cable and transceiver selection, these ports can often be broken out into multiple 25GbE or 10GbE connections. This capability allows network administrators to adapt the port density to meet changing link requirements without requiring additional hardware or costly infrastructure upgrades.
How does the S5248F-ON handle low-latency requirements? +
The S5248F-ON architecture is built to minimize latency, which is essential for High-Performance Computing (HPC) and large-scale virtualization. By leveraging high-speed SFP28 and QSFP28 interfaces, the switch reduces packet processing delays, ensuring that bandwidth-intensive applications run efficiently across the fabric without creating throughput bottlenecks.
What is the physical mounting size of the Dell S5248F-ON? +
This model is a compact 1U form factor rackmount switch. It is engineered to occupy minimal rack space while delivering high port density. The 1U design is standard for enterprise-grade top-of-rack deployments, allowing for organized cable management and efficient use of rack units in high-density server cabinets.
How do I request a bulk quote for multiple Dell S5248F-ON units? +
