3 Site preparations The S5048F-ON switch is suitable for installation as part of a common bond network (CBN). You can install the switch in: ● Network telecommunication facilities ● Data centers ● Other locations where the National Electric Code (NEC) applies For more information about switch specifications, see Specifications. NOTE: Install the S5048F-ON switch in a rack or cabinet before installing the components.
Rack mounting When you prepare your equipment rack, ensure that the rack is grounded. Ground the equipment rack to the same ground point the power service in your area uses. The ground path must be permanent. Switch ground Dell EMC recommends you ground your switch. Use the S5048F-ON switch in a common bond network (CBN). Connect the grounding cables as described in S5048F-ON switch installation.
Storing components If you do not install your S5048F-ON switch and components immediately, properly store the switch and all optional components using these guidelines: ● Storage location temperature must remain constant. The storage range is from -40°C to 70°C (-40°F to 158°F). ● Store on a dry surface or floor, away from direct sunlight, heat, and air conditioning ducts. ● Store in a dust-free environment. NOTE: ESD damage can occur when components are mishandled.
4 S5048F-ON switch installation To install the S5048F-ON switch, complete the installation procedures in the order presented in this chapter. Always handle the switch and components with care. Avoid dropping the switch or its field replaceable units (FRUs). NOTE: ESD damage can occur if components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the S5048F-ON switch and components.
Ground cable NOTE: For AC-powered switches, although the third conductor of the AC power cord provides a ground path, Dell EMC recommends grounding your switch with a dedicated ground wire. NOTE: For DC-powered switches, the only way to safely ground your switch is to attach a dedicated ground wire. Depending on the type of switch, to attach a ground cable to the switch, you need one of the included M3 or M4 screws.
● 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 45°C maximum ambient temperature of the switch. ● Reduced air flow—Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. ● Reliable earthing—Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment.

Switch installation You can mount the switch in the 1U front-rack or 1U two-post, flush or center configuration. The following is an example of a front-rack configuration: For the 1U two-post configurations, slide the switch into the rails in the same manner as the four-post configurations.
Figure 11. Attach switch rail 2. After installing both switch rails, line them up on the previously mounted ReadyRails and slide the switch in until it is flush with front of rack. To keep the switch from inadvertently sliding out of the rack and falling, about 3 inches before you fully insert your switch, the rail locking feature engages. Figure 12.
NOTE: Do not the use the mounted ReadyRails as a shelf or a workplace. 3. Tighten the two thumb screws and rack screws. To remove the switch from the rack or cabinet, press in the two side-release bars on the switch at the same time and slide the switch forward. Optics installation The S5048F-ON switch has SFP28 and QSFP28 optical ports. For a list of supported optics, see the specification sheets at www.dell.com/support or contact your Dell EMC Sales representative.
Power up sequence When the switch powers up, the fans immediately come on at high speed. The fan speed slows as the switch continues to boot up. After switch placement After you have securely installed and powered on the S5048F-ON switch: ● For switch documentation and resources, see www.dell.com/support. ● For OS10 Networking operating system documentation and resources, see the Dell EMC Networking OS10 Info Hub. ● For ONIE documentation and resources, see www.onie.org.
5 Power supplies The S5048F-ON switch ships with two AC or DC power supplies. The two power supplies have two air-flow directions—from the I/O to the PSU and from the PSU to the I/O. Two PSUs are required for full redundancy, but the switch can operate with a single PSU. The PSUs are field replaceable. When running with full redundancy—two power supplies installed and running—you can remove and replace one PSU without disrupting traffic.
CAUTION: Remove the power cable from the PSU before removing the PSU. Also, do not connect the power cable before you insert the PSU in the switch. NOTE: To comply with the GR-1089 Lightning Criteria for Equipment Interfacing with AC or DC Power Ports, use an external surge protection device (SDP) at the AC or DC input of the router. PSU LEDs ● ● ● ● Solid green—Input is OK. Flashing yellow (amber)—There is a fault with the PSU. Flashing green blink at 1 Hz—Switch is in a standby or CR state.
AC or DC power supply replacement CAUTION: Disconnect the power cord before removing the power supplies. Also, disconnect all power cords before servicing. NOTE: The PSU slides into the slot smoothly. Do not force a PSU into a slot as this action may damage the PSU or the S5048F-ON switch. NOTE: If a PSU fails, you must replace the entire unit. There are no field serviceable components in the PSU. To request a hardware replacement, see www.dell.com/support.
WARNING: Do not cross the wires. In the wiring block, RTN aligns with RTN and –48V aligns with –48V. 5. Insert the DC power connector into the power socket of the DC PSU. Ensure that the connector pins firmly seat and you hear the click of the power connector’s left and right levered clamps lock into place. WARNING: Never try to force the power connector into or out of the DC PSU power socket. NOTE: To remove the power connector from a DC PSU, use the orange tab on the side of the connector.
6 Fans The S5048F-ON switch comes from the factory with two PSUs and four fan modules that are installed in the switch. The fan modules and the power supplies, which have integrated fans, are hot-swappable. You can order and install fan modules separately. The S5048F-ON switch supports two airflow direction options. Do not mix airflow types in a switch; you can use only a single airflow direction in a switch. If the airflow directions are mismatched, you must correct the mismatched airflow direction.
Fan module installation The fan modules in the S5048F-ON switch are field replaceable. Module slot 1 is on the left side of the switch; module slot 4 is on the right side of the switch. CAUTION: DO NOT mix airflow directions. All fans must use the same airflow direction—reverse or normal. If you mix the airflow direction, to avoid damage to the switch, you must correct the mixed airflow . 1. Take the fan module out of the shipping box. 2. Slide the module into the bay. Figure 17.
7 Management ports Besides the 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 ports, the S5048F-ON switch provides several ports for management and storage. NOTE: The output examples in this section are for reference only.
