Installation
Before installing the switch, verify that you meet these guidelines:
• Enough clearance to the front of the switch so you can read the LEDs.
• AC/DC power cord reaches from the power outlet to the Utility-panel connector.
• Switch is rack-mounted before you install the power supply modules.
• Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise, such as radios, power lines, and fluorescent lighting.
Make sure that the cabling is safely away from other devices that might damage the cables. If needed,
allow one RU space between devices to provide room for cabling.
• Airflow 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 flakes 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 field 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.
