Installation
Before installing the switch, verify that you meet these guidelines:
13

• Enough clearance to the front of the switch so you can read the LEDs.
• AC/DC power cord reaches from the power outlet to the Utility-panel connector.
• Switch is rack-mounted before you install the power supply modules.
• Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise, such as radios, power lines,
and fluorescent lighting. Make sure that the cabling is safely away from other
devices that might damage the cables. If needed, allow one RU space between
devices to provide room for cabling.
• Airflow around the switch and through the vents is unrestricted.
• Temperature around the unit does not exceed 104°F (40°C). If the switch is in a
closed or multirack assembly, the temperature might be higher than normal room
temperature.
• Humidity around the switch does not exceed 85 percent.
• Altitude at the installation site is below 6600 feet.
• Switch is installed in an environment as free as possible from dust and foreign
conductive material (such as metal flakes from construction activities). Cooling
mechanisms, such as fans and blowers in the switch, can draw dust and other
particles causing contaminant buildup inside the chassis, which can result in
system malfunction.
Install the S5000 Chassis in a Rack or Cabinet
To install the S5000 system, Dell Networking recommends completing the
installation procedures in the order presented here.
NOTE: Always handle the system and its components with care. Avoid dropping the
S5000 chassis or its field replaceable units.
NOTE: For proper ventilation, position the S5000 chassis in an equipment rack (or
cabinet) with a minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) of clearance around exhaust vents.
The acceptable ambient temperature ranges are listed in the Environmental
Parameters section.
CAUTION: Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when
handling the S5000 and its components. As with all electrical devices of this type,
take all necessary safety precautions to prevent injury when installing this system.
ESD damage can occur if components are mishandled.
14

Attaching the Mounting Brackets
The S5000 is shipped with mounting brackets (rack ears) and the required screws (eight
screws) for rack or cabinet installation. The brackets are enclosed in a package with the
chassis.
1. Take the brackets and screws out of their packaging.
2. Slide the mounting brackets, as shown in the following figure.
Figure 9. Slide the mounting brackets

2. Mounting Bracket
3. Holding Bracket (factory installed)
Rack Mounting Safety Considerations
You may either place the switch on the rack shelf or mount the switch directly into a 19"
wide, EIA-310-E- compliant rack.
• Rack loading — Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in shelf or
rack failure, which may damage equipment and cause possible personal injury.
Stabilize racks in a permanent location before loading begins. Mount the
components beginning at the bottom of the rack, then work to the top. Do not
exceed your rack load rating.
15

• Power considerations — Connect only to the power source specified on the unit.
When multiple electrical components are installed in a rack, ensure that the total
component power ratings do not exceed the circuit capabilities. Overloaded
power sources and extension cords present fire and shock hazards.
• 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 40°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.
• 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.
NOTE: The illustrations in this document are not intended to represent a specific
switch.
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.
16

Rack Grounding
When you prepare your equipment rack, ensure that the rack is earth ground. You must
ground the equipment rack to the same ground point the power service uses in your
area. The ground path must be permanent.
Important Points to Remember for Installing an Ethernet Module
• Installing and swapping of Ethernet modules must be done BEFORE power up. If
you need to install or replace a module, power down the system before you
install or replace it. If you install or replace a module when the system is
powered up, the system does not recognize the module. Online insertion of
modules can result in a catastrophic failure.
17

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.
NOTE: For the Ethernet module, the part name and port number are inscribed on the
handle, as shown in the following figure:
