Install the Hardware
Before installing the switch, verify that you meet these guidelines:
• You have enough clearance to the front of the switch so you can read the light emitting diodes
(LEDs).
• The AC power cord reaches from the power outlet to the Utility-panel connector.
• The switch is rack-mounted before you power it up.
• Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise, such as radios, power lines, and fluorescent lighting.
Ensure the cabling is safely away from other devices that might damage the cables. If needed, allow
one rack unit (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.
• The 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 Chassis
To install the S4810–Open Networking (ON) 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 S4810–ON
chassis or its field replaceable units.
NOTE: For proper ventilation, position the S4810–ON 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 Technical Specifications section under Environmental
Parameters.
CAUTION: Always wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD)-preventive wrist or heel ground strap
when handling the S4810–ON 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.

Attaching the Mounting Brackets
The S4810–ON is shipped with mounting brackets (rack ears) and the required 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. Attach the brackets to the sides of the chassis at the power supply unit (PSU) end, using four screws
for each bracket.
Attach the bracket so that the “ear” faces to the PSU and the outside of the chassis.

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 the equipment and cause personal injury. Stabilize the 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.
• Power considerations — Connect only to the power source specified 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 cords present fire and shock
hazards.
• Elevated ambient temperature — If you install the equipment 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 you do not compromise the amount of
airflow required for safe operation of the equipment.
8Install the Hardware

• Reverse air flow — To ensure cool air intake and to avoid hot air blow out from the I/O panel, ensure
you have the necessary clearance.
• 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, the use
of the power strips.
• Do not mount the equipment with the Utility panel facing in the downward position.
NOTE: 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.
Mounting the Chassis in a Rack or Cabinet
1. Dell Networking recommends that one person hold the S4810–ON chassis in place while a second
person attaches the brackets to the posts.
2. Attach the bracket "ears" to the rack or cabinet posts, using two screws for each bracket. Ensure the
screws are tightened firmly.

Attaching the Ground Cable (Optional)
The S4810–ON requires one M4x0.7 screw for attaching a ground cable to the chassis.
To properly ground the chassis, Dell Networking recommends a 6 AWG one-hole lug, #10 hole size, 63"
spacing. The one-hole lug must be a UL-recognized, crimp-type lug.
NOTE: The rack installation ears are not a suitable grounding point.
Install the Hardware 9

CAUTION: Grounding conductors must be made of copper. Do not use aluminum conductors.
NOTE: Coat the one-hole lug with an anti-oxidant compound prior to crimping. Bring any unplated
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.
1. Cut the ground cable to the desired length. The cable length must facilitate the proper operation of
fault interrupt circuits. Dell Networking recommends using the shortest cable route allowable.
2. Attach the one-hole lug to the chassis using an M4x0.7 screw with a captive internal tooth lock
washer, as shown. Torque the screw to 20 in-lbs.

3. Attach the other end of the ground cable to a suitable ground point.
Important Points to Remember
The S4810–ON is designed to support two hot-swappable power supplies with integrated fans that
provide cooling for the chassis.
• The PSU slides into the slot smoothly. Do not force the PSU into a slot as this action may damage the
PSU or the S4810–ON chassis.
• The S4810–ON supports AC power supplies with two air-flow directions (I/O to Utility and Utility to
I/O). The S4810–ON does not support mixing PSU types. The fan airflow direction for both the PSUs
must be the same.
WARNING: Although the switch can run on one PSU, Dell Networking highly recommends using
two PSUs for full redundancy and proper cooling. To avoid overheating if the switch needs to run
with only one PSU for a time, Dell Networking recommends using PSU1 (on the left) and covering
the second PSU slot opening with a blank plate.
WARNING: The Utility panel consists of four slots numbered from 1 to 4. Insert PSUs in slots 1 and
4.
WARNING: ESD damage can occur if components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-
preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the S4810–ON and its components.
WARNING: DO NOT mix airflow directions. Both power supplies must use the same airflow
direction (I/O to Utility or Utility to I/O).
WARNING: To prevent electrical shock, ensure the S4810–ON is grounded properly. If you
ground your equipment incorrectly, excessive emissions may result. To ensure the power cables
meet your local electrical requirements, use a qualified electrician.
