Additional stack-unit lines like the one below may be found in an unstacked MXL if one or more

expansion modules are present. In order to use these ports for stacking the quad mode will need to be

removed.

Bare Metal Provisioning

The system is configured for Bare Metal Provisioning (BMP) mode when it leaves the factory. Bare Metal

Provisioning can be used to help configure a stack or a stand-alone system. With minimum effort, BMP

can obtain IP address, running configuration and boot image information from a DHCP server. For more

information regarding how to setup BMP, consult the Dell Force10 MXL User Guide.

Identifying physical units and ports in a stack

The Master will always have a blue LED illuminating steadily (not flashing). A stand-alone will also

have the blue light illuminated since it is it’s own Master. Standby and Member units in the stack do

not illuminate this light.

Note: The CMC shows each Master in the chassis and the fabric (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, or C2) where it is

located. See 0.
