Site selection
Install Dell equipment in restricted access areas.
A restricted access area is one in which service personnel can only gain access using a special tool, lock, key or other means of security.
The authority responsible for the location, controls access.
CAUTION: Only trained and qualified personnel should install this equipment. Read this guide before installing and powering up
the system.
WARNING: The following information is a condensed reference. Read the safety instructions in your Safety, Environmental, and
Regulatory information booklet before you begin.
Verify that the area where you install your system, meets the following safety requirements:
• Near an adequate power source, with a power cord of appropriate length.
• Using your local electrical codes, connect the system to the appropriate branch circuit protection.
• Environmental temperature between 32° to 113°F (from 0° to 45°C). If the switch is in a closed or multiple rack assembly, the
temperature might be higher than normal room temperature.
• The switch operating ambient temperature range is from 0° to 45°C (from 32° to 113°F).
• Relative humidity is from 5 to 90 percent noncondensing.
• Altitude at the installation site is below 10,000 feet.
• In a dry, clean, well-ventilated and temperature-controlled room, away from heat sources such as hot air ventilation outlets or direct
sunlight.
• 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.
