Hello everyone I state that I am new to these things. I have a problem with a force of s50 because I can not start it with the lan ports, the status panel shows me the green lights on "OK" and "PWR". I followed the procedures as described on the DELL website with the PUTTY program but without success. Can someone help me? Thank you in advance
Hello Josh I used a cable DB9-RJ45 the blue one of the Cisco, set the com1 port as described by manual and connected to the console port of the force s50 but nothing happens
Was it working previously? It sounds like it might not be booting at all. When you connected the console cable did you reboot the switch to see if any of the boot process comes up?
Hello Josh previously worked then was inactive for a year without power and still connecting the appropriate cable and restarting the switch seems to do nothing. if I connect a terminal to any port, the green LED will not light up. Thanks
Hi Josh
Now I'll explain, I bought this switch with freshman 6J8R9T1 from a seller on AMAZON about a year and a half ago, it worked for about a month then I put it away for a year and now I need it but it does not work. The STACK ID signals green LED on OK and green LED on AC. The lan ports from 1 to 48 seem to connect but after a while they turn off and nothing happens, the console lan any cable I insert with or without DB9 does not seem to work.
I hope I was clear
Thank you
It seems like it may be a hardware issue, but it is out of warranty. You may need to call in and see what support options you have there for out of warranty units.

Hi,
Have you tried connecting with a console cable? Page 9 http://www.force10networks.com/CSPortal20/KnowledgeBase/DOCUMENTATION/InstallGuidesQuickrefs/S-Series/S50_Quick_Reference2.2.0.pdf
