Site preparations The S5200F-ON Series (S5232F-ON, S5248F-ON, and S5296F-ON) switch is suitable for installation as part of a common bond network (CBN). You can install the switch in: • Network telecommunication facilities • Data centers • Other locations where the National Electric Code (NEC) applies NOTE: Install the switch into a rack or cabinet before installing any additional components such as cables or optics.
S5200F-ON Series switch installation. NOTE: For an AC-powered switch, although the third conductor of the AC power cord provides a ground path, Dell EMC recommends grounding your switch with a dedicated ground wire. NOTE: For a DC-powered switch, the only way to safely ground your switch is to attach a dedicated ground wire. The ground lug kit ships in a plastic bag placed with the other accessories inside the shipping box.
CAUTION: Always disconnect the power cable before you service the power supply slots. The switch has multiple power cords. Before servicing, ensure all power cords are disconnected. CAUTION: On an AC switch, use the power supply cord as the main disconnect device. Ensure that the socket-outlet is located and installed near the equipment and is easily accessible.
Always handle the switch and components with care. Avoid dropping the switch or its field replaceable units (FRUs). For the S5248F-ON and S5232F-ON switches, you can install the ReadyRails system. Due to the chassis weight, the S5296F-ON switch does not support a two-post rack installation; you must install the S5296F-ON in a four-post rack. For the S5296F-ON switch installation...
ReadyRails installation For the S5248F-ON and S5232F-ON switches, you can install the ReadyRails system using the 1U tool-less square-hole method or one of three possible 1U threaded round-hole methods. The tooled installation methods include two-post flush mount, two-post center mount, or four-post threaded mount.
NOTE: For more installation instructions, see the installation labels attached to the rail assembly. Figure 12. Separate rails Tool-less square-hole installation NOTE: For more installation instructions, see the installation labels attached to the rail assembly. NOTE: For S5296F-ON installation instructions, see S5296F-ON four-post rack assembly.
Figure 13. 1U tool-less nonthreaded square hole installation Align and seat the front flange pegs in the holes on the front side of the vertical post. NOTE: Be sure that the rails click into place and are secure. Repeat this procedure for the second rail. To remove each rail, pull on the latch release on each flange ear and unseat each rail.
Figure 14. Two-post flush-mount configuration Attach one rail to the front post flange with two user-supplied screws. See item 2. Slide the plunger bracket forward against the vertical post and secure the plunger bracket to the post flange with two user-supplied screws.
Figure 15. Two-post center-mount threaded round-hole installation Slide the back bracket towards the post. Secure it to the post flange with two user-supplied screws. See item 2 and 3. Repeat this procedure for the second rail. Four-post threaded installation NOTE: For more installation instructions, see the installation labels attached to the rail assembly.
Attach the front and back flanges for each rail, to the post flanges with two user-supplied screws at each end. Switch installation For the 1U two-post configurations for the S5248F-ON and S5232F-ON switches, slide the switch into the rails in the same manner as the four-post configurations.

Figure 17. Attach switch rail Line up both switch rails with the previously mounted rack ReadyRails and slide the switch in until it is flush with front of rack. To keep the switch from inadvertently sliding out of the rack and falling, about 3 inches before you fully insert your switch, the rail locking feature engages.
Figure 18. Front rack installation NOTE: Do not the use the mounted ReadyRails as a shelf or a workplace. Tighten the two thumbscrews and rack screws. To remove the switch from the rack or cabinet, press in the two side-release bars on the switch simultaneously and slide the switch forward.

WARNING: To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety: • If your chassis is the only unit in the rack, mount it at the bottom of the rack. •...
To attach a ground cable to the switch, use one of the two pre-installed screws. The ground cable is not included. To properly ground the switch, Dell EMC recommends a one- or two-hole lug, M3 hole size. The ground lugs must be a UL-recognized, crimp-type lug.
Attach the other end of the ground cable to a suitable ground point such as the rack or cabinet. The rack installation ears are not a suitable grounding point. Optics installation The S5200F-ON Series (S5232F-ON, S5248F-ON, and S5296F-ON) has SFP+, SFP28, QSFP-DD, and QSFP28 optical ports. For a list of supported optics, see the specification sheets at www.dell.com/support or contact your Dell EMC Sales representative.
Dell EMC support representative. NOTE: Some steps do not apply if you are replacing a different switch or non-Dell EMC switch. NOTE: ESD damage can occur when components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the switch and accessories.
AC or DC power supply with integrated reverse flow fan For the S5232F-ON and S5248F-ON switches, power supply 1 (PSU1) is on the left side of the switch; power supply 2 (PSU2) is on the right side of the switch. For the S5296F-ON switch, both power supply 1 (PSU1) and power supply 2 (PSU2) are on the right side of the switch.
Figure 20. S5232F-ON or S5248F-ON PSUs PSUs Figure 21. S5296F-ON PSUs The PSUs have an integrated fan, which you cannot replace individually; if the fan integrated in a PSU fails, you must replace the entire PSU. You can replace the fan trays individually. For fan tray replacement procedures, see Fans.

Repeat steps 1 through 4 if you have a redundant PSU using the second PSU slot on the S5200F-ON Series switch. Figure 22. S5232F-ON or S5248F-ON switch PSUs PSU1 is on the right side of the switch. PSU2 is on the left side of the switch.
NOTE: If a PSU fails, you must replace the entire unit. There are no field serviceable components in the PSU. To request a hardware replacement, see Dell EMC support. NOTE: If you use a single PSU, install a blank plate in the other PSU slot. If you are only using one power supply, install the power supply in the first slot, PSU1.

Fans The S5200F-ON Series (S5232F-ON, S5248F-ON, and S5296F-ON) switch comes from the factory with two PSUs and four fan modules installed in the switch. The fan modules and the power supplies, which have integrated fans, are hot-swappable. In addition to the power supply modules, you can order and install fan modules separately.
Fan module installation The fan modules in the S5200F-ON Series switch are field replaceable. For the S5232F-ON and S5248F-ON switches, fan module slots 1 and 2 are on the left side of the switch and fan module slots 3 and 4 are on the right side of the switch. For the S5296F-ON switch, fan module slots 1 through 4 are on the left side of the switch.
