Installing the Hardware
This guide assumes all site preparation has been performed before installing the
chassis.
Installing the Chassis in a Rack or Cabinet
To install the S55 or S60 systems, Dell Force10 recommends that you complete
the installation procedures in the order presented below.
NOTE: Unless stated otherwise, the installation instructions below apply to both
the S55 and S60 chassis.
Always handle the system and its components with care. Avoid dropping the
switch or its field replaceable units.
CAUTION: Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when
handling the chassis and its components. As with all electrical devices of this
type, take all necessary safety precautions to prevent injury when installing
this system. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur if components
are mishandled.
Attaching Mounting Brackets
The chassis is shipped with mounting brackets (rack ears) and required screws
for rack or cabinet installation. The brackets are enclosed in a package with the
chassis.
NOTE: Dell Force10 recommends attaching the brackets at the PSU side. This
provides the greatest weight support for the chassis in the rack or cabinet.
.
Step Task
1Take the brackets and screws out of their packaging.

6Installing the Hardware
2Attach the brackets to the sides of the chassis at the PSU end, using four
screws for each bracket. Attach the bracket so that the “ear” faces the
PSU and the outside of the chassis.

Installing the Hardware 7
Install Chassis into Rack or Cabinet
Ensure that there is adequate clearance surrounding the rack or within the
cabinet to permit access and airflow.
Attach a Ground Cable to the System
The system is shipped with necessary 10-32 screw(s) for attaching a ground
cable to the chassis. The cable itself is not included. Dell Force10 recommends a
6AWG one-hole (for the S55) or two-hole (for the S60) lug, #10 hole size, 63"
spacing (not included in shipping) to properly ground the chassis. The lug must
be a UL recognized, crimp-type lug.
NOTE: The rack installation ears are not suitable for grounding.
CAUTION: Grounding conductors must be made of copper. Do not use
aluminum conductors.
Step Task
1Dell Force10 recommends that one person hold the chassis in place
while a second person attaches the brackets to the posts.
2Attach the bracket "ears" to the rack or cabinet posts, using two screws
for each bracket. Ensure the screws are tightened firmly.

8Installing the Hardware
NOTE: Coat the one-hole lug with an anti-oxidant compound prior to crimping.
Bring any un-plated mating surfaces to a shiny finish, and coat with an anti-oxidant
prior to mating. Plated mating surfaces must be clean and free from contamination.
The S60 is shipped with 2 10-32 screws for attaching a ground cable to the
chassis. The cable itself is not included. Dell Force10 recommends a 6AWG
two-hole lug, #10 hole size, 63" spacing (not included in shipping) to properly
ground the chassis. The two-hole lug must be a UL recognized, crimp-type lug.
Step Task
1Take the 10-32 screw(s) from the package.
2Cut cable to desired length. Cable length must facilitate the proper
operation of fault interrupt circuits. Dell Force10 recommends using of
the shortest cable route allowable.
3Attach the lug to the chassis as shown, using the supplied 10-32
screw(s) with captive internal tooth lock washer. Each screw should be
torqued to 20 in-lbs.

4Attach the other end of the ground cable to a suitable ground point. The
rack installation ears are not a suitable grounding point.
