• Reverse air flow — 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 firmly.
