Dell 0WTRD1 transceiver with S522F-ON switch
Hi everyone
In our data center we have some new Dell EMC S5224F-ON switches. Our older (PowerConnect 8024F) switches use Dell 0WTRD1 transceivers (10 Gb/E SR).
Can we use the 0WTRD1 transceivers with the S5224F-ON switches?
Thank you,
Peter

PeterVH,
I am indeed seeing the WTRD1 transceivers listed as supported on the S5224F-ON switch.
Let me know if this helps, or if you needed anything else.

Thank you! Plugging in the transceiver and a fibre doesn't, however, yield an active link.
Do you have any suggestions for commands I can run on the CLI (the S5224F-ON doesn't seem to have a web interface) to further debug the hardware (switch and transceiver)?
Thanks,
Peter

Hi, I think it could be related to the ports being 25g on the switches. I'm just brainstorming, separate ports on the switch won't negotiate a 10Gb link. But you can try to use port groups please check that below. Reference link (https://dell.to/3HNmhxE)
Port-groups on S5200F-ON switches
On the S5200F-ON series switches, port-groups determine the available front-panel Ethernet ports and supported breakout interfaces.
When you convert a port to a particular mode, all ports that belong to the port group also operate at the same mode. For example, if you convert the Ethernet 1/1/1 interface to 10g-4x, all other interfaces that belong to port-group 1/1/1 namely, 1/1/2, 1/1/3, and 1/1/4 also operate at 10g-4x mode.
The following shows the supported port groups and breakout modes on the S5212F-ON switch:
