Installing the S2410 System 11
This chapter describes requirements and site setup procedures for your S2410 system.
This chapter covers the following topics:
•Site Selection
•Cabinet Placement on page 12
•Rack Mounting on page 12
•Fans and Airflow on page 12
•Power on page 13
•Storing Components on page 13
•Tools Required on page 13
For detailed S2410 specifications, refer to Chapter 5, S2410 Specifications, on page 27.
Site Selection
Make sure that the area where you install your S2410 chassis meets the following safety requirements:
• Near an adequate power source. Connect the system to the appropriate branch circuit protection as
defined by your local electrical codes. Ideally, you connect each power supply to a separate circuit.
• Environmental temperature between 32° – 122°F (0° – 40°C).
• Relative humidity that does not exceed 90% non-condensing.
• In a dry, clean, well-ventilated and temperature-controlled room, away from heat sources such as hot
air vents or direct sunlight.
• Away from sources of severe electromagnetic noise.
• Positioned in a rack, cabinet, or on a desktop with adequate space in the front, rear, and sides of the
unit for proper ventilation, and access (see below).
Chapter 2 Site Preparation
Note: Install the S2410 into a rack or cabinet before installing any optional components.

12 Site Preparation
Cabinet Placement
The cabinet must meet the following criteria:
• Minimum cabinet size and airflow are according to the EIA standard.
• Minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) between the side intake and exhaust vents and the cabinet wall.
Rack Mounting
Ensure that your equipment rack is earth ground. The equipment rack must be grounded to the same
ground point used by the power service in your area. The ground path must be permanent.
Fans and Airflow
Ventilation is primarily side-to-side (some vents in back), with seven fans on the left side of the switch that
operate at a constant speed. For proper ventilation, position the chassis in an equipment rack (or cabinet)
with a minimum of five inches (12.7 cm) of clearance around the side intake and exhaust vents. When two
S-Series systems are installed side by side, position the two chassis at least 5 inches (12.7 cm) apart to
permit proper airflow. The acceptable ambient temperature ranges are listed in Environmental Parameters
on page 27.
As listed in Table 2, “Status Panel LED Display,” on page 9, the front panel of the S2410 has an Alarm
LED that includes alarms for fan problems and out-of-range temperatures. The LED is amber when the
temperature or components are outside expected parameters, red in a major alarm.
SFTOS logs a temperature warning message when a temperature of 77 degrees C is reached, and logs
another message when the temperature returns to normal. The Command Line Interface (CLI) also reports
an alarm.
Use the show logging buffered command to display the system log messages, and the show logging
command for event log messages,. For details, see the Syslog chapters of the SFTOS Command Reference
or SFTOS Configuration Guide.
Fan replacement is not offered as an option in the field.

Installing the S2410 System 13
Power
Both S2410 models (S2410CP and S2410P) provide built-in dual AC power supplies. Ideally, the power
sources would be on separate circuits. While only one power supply is needed for the unit to operate, if
both power supplies are connected, the power supplies act as redundant backups and do some load sharing,
although the sharing is not necessarily equal.
There are no DC power or backup power options.
Storing Components
If you do not install your system and components immediately, Force10 Networks recommends that you
properly store the S2410 and all optional components until you are ready to install them.
Follow these storage guidelines:
• Storage temperature should remain constant ranging from -4° to 158° F (-20°C to 70° C).
• Storage humidity range should be between 10 to 95% relative humidity, non-condensing
• Store on a dry surface or floor, away from direct sunlight, heat, and air conditioning ducts.
• Store in a dust-free environment.
Tools Required
S-Series switches are shipped fully assembled, encased in foam. A utility knife is useful for cutting the
packing tape, and a Philips #2 screwdriver is required for attaching rack screws, and is also used for making
some attachments, including DC cables and rear cover plates. Wear an anti-static guard, as noted above.
Caution: The power supply cord is used as the main disconnect device; ensure that the
socket-outlet is located/installed near the equipment and is easily accessible.
Warning: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur when components are mishandled.
Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the S2410 and its
accessories. After you remove the original packaging, place the S2410 and its components on an
antistatic surface.

14 Site Preparation

Installing the S2410 System 15
S2410 systems have no stacking or other optional modules, so, to install the S2410 system, you can simply
install the system on a tabletop, in a rack, or in a cabinet, turn it on, and then connect ports. The following
options are discussed in this chapter:
•Tabletop Installation
•Rack or Cabinet Installation
•Supplying Power on page 22
Then see Where Do I Go from Here?
Tabletop Installation
The S2410 can be positioned on a tabletop. Keep the following in mind when using a tabletop:
• Ensure that your tabletop is stable and can handle the weight of the S2410 (see Chassis Physical
Design on page 27).
• Position the S2410 so that there is proper side ventilation (see Fans and Airflow on page 12).
• Position the S2410 so that there is easy access to the rear power inlets, and an unobstructed path
between power inlets and outlets.
Rack or Cabinet Installation
The S2410 provides three rack-mounting methods:
•Two-Post Rack Mounting on page 17
•Four-Post Rack-mounting with Threaded Rails on page 18

Attaching the Rack Ears
The S2410 is shipped with two universal front-mounting brackets (rack ears), which are contained in a bag
with 3 philips screws for each rack ear. The rack ears must first be attached to the front corners of the
switch before performing any of the rack-mounting procedures presented here. .
The lower right corner of Figure 3 shows the positioning of the rack ears and screws. Note that the rack
ears supplied with the S2410 have a hole in the middle to accommodate the vent in the S2410.
