What ports does the Dell Force10 S55 have?

It features 44 x 10/100/1000Base-T RJ45 Ethernet ports, 4 x GbE SFP uplink ports configurable for copper or fiber, and 1 x RJ45 console management port with RS232 signaling. Two rear modular bays support 2-port 10GbE SFP+ or 12Gbps stacking modules for flexible expansion.

What is the switching performance of the S55?

The non-blocking architecture provides 176Gbps switching capacity, 131Mpps forwarding rate, and less than 5 microseconds latency for 64-byte frames. It supports up to 32,000 MAC addresses, 4096 VLANs, 8K link aggregation groups, and jumbo frames up to 9,252 bytes.

What are the power requirements?

Maximum power consumption is 130W, with max current draw of 2A at 100/120V AC, 1A at 200/240V AC, or 3.6A at -48V DC. It supports redundant, hot-swappable AC or DC power supplies, optimizing for data center efficiency.

What is the form factor and environmental specs?

1U rack-mount design (1.75 x 17.42 x 18.75 inches) weighs 14.41 lbs. Operating temperature is 32°F to 122°F (0°C to 50°C) at 10-85% RH non-condensing, with normal (I/O to PSU) or reverse airflow options and hot-swappable fans.

Does it support stacking?

Yes, up to 12 switches can stack via 2-port 12Gbps high-speed modules, providing 96Gbps stacking capacity per member. Stacked units manage as a single entity with 128 link aggregation groups, ideal for scalable deployments.

What management options are available?

Layer 2/3 managed with CLI, Web GUI, and FTOS software. Includes 1 x RJ45 Ethernet management port, USB ports, and supports standards-based features for automation and virtualization in enterprise networks.
