Install the Hardware
This information describes installation of the S6010-Open Networking (ON)
system. Dell Networking recommends completing the installation procedures
in the order presented here.
Operation and Safety Considerations
Before installing the switch, review these operation and safety guidelines.
Review these guidelines for switch installation:
• 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 power supply
unit (PSU) side 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 that 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 113°F (45°C). If the switch is
in a closed or multi-rack assembly, the temperature might be higher than
normal room temperature.
• Humidity around the switch does not exceed 95 percent.
• Altitude at the installation site is below 10,000 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.
Review these guidelines for rack mounting:
• Rack mounting — 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 loading — Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in shelf
or rack failure, causing damage to the equipment and possible 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 load rating.
5

• 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. The acceptable ambient
temperature ranges are listed in Technical Specifications under
Environmental Parameters.
• 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
switch. For proper ventilation, position the chassis in an equipment rack
(or cabinet) with a minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) of clearance around
exhaust vents.
• Reverse air flow — To ensure cool air intake and to avoid hot air blow out
from the I/O side, ensure that 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, use of power
strips.
• Do not mount the equipment with the PSU side facing in a downward
position.
NOTE: Always handle the system and its components with care. Avoid
dropping the chassis or their field replaceable units.
CAUTION: Always wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD)-preventive
wrist or heel ground strap when handling a system 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.
CAUTION: Only trained and qualified personnel should install this
equipment. Read this guide before installing and powering up the
system.
WARNING: This is a condensed reference. Read the safety instructions
in your Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory information booklet
before you begin.
