Install Guide

• Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise, such as radios, power lines, and uorescent lighting. Make sure that the cabling

is safely away from other devices that might damage the cables. If needed, allow one rack unit (RU) space between devices to

provide room for cabling.

• Airow around the switch and through the vents is unrestricted.

• Temperature around the unit does not exceed 104°F (40°C). If the switch is in a closed or multirack assembly, the temperature

might be higher than normal room temperature.

• Humidity around the switch does not exceed 85 percent.

• Altitude at the installation site is below 6600 feet.

• Switch is installed in an environment as free as possible from dust and foreign conductive material (such as metal akes from

construction activities). Cooling mechanisms, such as fans and blowers in the switch, can draw dust and other particles causing

contaminant buildup inside the chassis, which can result in system malfunction.

Installing the Rack or Cabinet

To install the S5000 system, Dell Networking recommends completing the installation

procedures in the order presented here.

NOTE: Always handle the system and its components with care. Avoid dropping the S5000 chassis or its eld replaceable

units.

NOTE: For proper ventilation, position the S5000 chassis in an equipment rack (or cabinet) with a minimum of 5 inches

(12.7 cm) of clearance around exhaust vents. The acceptable ambient temperature ranges are listed in the

Environmental

Parameters

section.

CAUTION: Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the S5000 and its components. As

with all electrical devices of this type, take all necessary safety precautions to prevent injury when installing this system.

ESD damage can occur if components are mishandled.

Attaching the Mounting Brackets

The S5000 is shipped with mounting brackets (rack ears) and the required screws (eight screws) for rack or cabinet installation. The
