Rack Mounting Safety Considerations

You may either place the switch on the rack shelf or mount the switch directly into a 19" wide, EIA-310-E- compliant rack.

• Rack loading — Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in shelf or rack failure, which may damage equipment and

cause possible personal injury. Stabilize racks in a permanent location before loading begins. Mount the components beginning at

the bottom of the rack, then work to the top. Do not exceed your rack load rating.

• Power considerations — Connect only to the power source specied on the unit. When multiple electrical components are

installed in a rack, ensure that the total component power ratings do not exceed the circuit capabilities. Overloaded power

sources and extension cords present re and shock hazards.

• Elevated ambient temperature — If installed in a closed rack assembly, the operating temperature of the rack environment may

be greater than the room ambient temperature. Use care not to exceed the 40°C maximum ambient temperature of the switch.

• Reduced air ow — Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount of airow required for safe operation of the equipment

is not compromised.

• Reverse air ow — Necessary clearance is required to ensure cool air intake and to avoid hot air blow out from I/O panel.

• Reliable earthing — Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to the supply connections

other than the direct connections to the branch circuit; for example, use of power strips.

• Do not mount the equipment with the Utility panel facing in the downward position.

WARNING: These instructions are a condensed reference. Read the safety instructions in your Safety, Environmental,

and Regulatory information booklet before you begin.

Installing the S5000 Chassis into a 4-Post Rack or Cabinet

NOTE: Dell Networking recommends that one person hold the S5000 chassis in place while a second person attaches

the brackets to the posts.

Attach the bracket "ears" to the rack or cabinet posts, using two screws for each bracket. Ensure the screws are tightened

rmly.
