WARNING: Although the switch can run on one PSU, Dell Networking 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 of the switch. 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.
CAUTION: DO NOT mix airflow directions. The airflow directions are color coded. A red label
indicates that hot air is expelled from the PSU and a blue label indicates that hot air is expelled
from the I/O. Both fans must use the same airflow direction (I/O to Utility or Utility to I/O). The
power supplies and fans must have the same color strap. If you mismatch the airflows, the
following error message appears and the system shuts down:
00:02:19: %S5000:0 %CHMGR-2-PSU_TYPE_AIRFLOW_MISMATCH: Mismatching PSU
airflow detected. Unit 0 shall get shutdown in next 60 seconds if mismatch
not rectified. 00:02:19: %STKUNIT0-M:CP %CHMGR-1-
PSU_AIRFLOW_COMBO_MISMATCH: Major alarm: Mismatching PSU airflow detected
in unit 0
Installing a DC Power Supply
1. Remove the PSU from the electro-static bag.
2. Use the grab handle to slide the PSU into the switch PSU slot (install the PSU-exposed PCB edge
connector first). The PSU slot is keyed so that the PSU can be fully inserted in only one way. When
you correctly install the PSU, it snaps into place and is flush with the back of the switch.
