Important Points to Remember for Installing an AC Power
Supply
• The PSU slides into the slot smoothly. Do not force a PSU into a slot as this action may damage the
PSU or the S5000 chassis.
• The S5000 supports AC and DC power supplies with two air-flow directions (I/O to Utility and Utility
to I/O). The S5000 does not support mixing PSU types, that is, you cannot replace an AC PSU with a
DC PSU and an AC-R PSU with a DC-R PSU. The fan airflow direction for both the PSUs must be the
same.
• For AC PSUs, an illuminated translucent handle indicates the power status.
• To view the log messages, use the show logging command. For more information, refer to the
System Logs chapters of the Dell Networking OS Command Line Reference Guide for the S5000
Switch and Dell Networking OS Configuration Guide for the S5000 Switch.
WARNING: Although the switch can run on one PSU, Dell Networking OS highly recommends
using two PSUs for full redundancy and proper cooling. If the switch needs to run with only one
PSU for a time, be sure to cover the second PSU slot opening with a blank plate to avoid
overheating.
WARNING: The Utility panel consists of four slots numbered from 0 to 3. Insert PSUs in slots 0
and 3.
WARNING: The PCB edge connector is at the bottom. Avoid installing the switch upside down.
WARNING: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur if components are mishandled.
Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the S5000 and its
components.
