12 S5200F-ON Series switch Installation

Ground cable
To attach a ground cable to the switch, use the included M4 screws.
NOTE: For an AC-powered switch, 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 a DC-powered switch, the only way to safely ground your switch is to
attach a dedicated ground wire. The ground lug kit ships in a plastic bag placed with
the other accessories inside the shipping box. The ground lug bracket screws ship
attached to the switch. Before you install the DC switch in the dual-tray, attach the
ground lug and bracket to the switch using the included screws and then attach the
DC ground wire to the ground lug.
The ground cable is not included. The grounding lugs must be a UL-recognized, crimp-type
lug.
CAUTION: Grounding conductors must be made of copper. Do not use aluminum
conductors.
NOTE: Coat the one-hole lug with an anti-oxidant compound before crimping. Also,
bring any unplated mating surfaces to a shiny nish and coat with an anti-oxidant
before mating. Plated mating surfaces must be clean and free from contamination.
NOTE: The rack installation ears are not suitable for grounding.
To connect the ground cable to the switch:
1 Cut the user-supplied ground cable to the desired length.
The cable length must facilitate proper operation of the fault interrupt circuits. Use the
shortest cable route allowable.
2 Crimp the ground cable inside the pre-installed ground lug.
3 Attach the other end of the ground cable to a suitable ground point such as the rack or
cabinet.
The rack installation ears are not a suitable grounding point.
Rack or cabinet installation
You may either place the switch on a rack shelf or mount the switch directly into a 19" wide,
EIA-310- E-compliant rack. Rack mounting for the S5232F-ON, S5248F-ON, and S5224F-
S5200F-ON Series switch Installation 13

ON switches includes four-post, two-post, round threaded holes, or square holes. The
ReadyRails system is provided for 1U front-rack and two-post installations.
Do not use the ReadyRails system for the S5296F-ON or S5212F-ON switches. For the
S5296F-ON switch, see Two U four-post rack assembly. For the S5212F-ON switch, see
One-half U front-rack installation.
The ReadyRails system includes two separately packaged rail assemblies. To begin
installation, separate each rail assembly by sliding the inside rail out of the outside rail.
WARNING: This guide is a condensed reference. Read the safety instructions in
your Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory information booklet before you begin.
NOTE: The illustrations in this section are not intended to represent a specic
switch.
NOTE: Do not the use the mounted ReadyRails as a shelf or a workplace.
Rack mount safety considerations
• Rack loading—Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in shelf or rack failure,
possibly damaging the equipment and causing personal injury. Stabilize racks in a
permanent location before loading begins. Mount the components starting at the
bottom of the rack, then work to the top. Do not exceed your rack’s load rating.
• Power considerations—Connect only to the power source specied on the unit. When
you install multiple electrical components in a rack, ensure that the total component
power ratings do not exceed the circuit capabilities. Overloaded power sources and
extension cables are re and shock hazards.
• Elevated ambient temperature—If you install the switch 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 (113°F) maximum ambient temperature
of the switch.
• Reduced airow—Do not compromise the amount of airow needed for safe operation
of the equipment. Install the equipment in the rack so that the equipment constantly
has the correct amount of airow surrounding it.
• 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 fan panel facing in the downward position.
