Unpacking Steps

Unpack the system carefully.
1 Place the container on a clean, flat surface and cut all straps securing the container.
2 Open the container or remove the container top.
3 Carefully remove the switch from the container and place it on a secure and clean surface.
4 Remove all packing material.
5 Inspect the product and accessories for damage.

Ground cable

To attach a ground cable to the switch, use the included M4 screws.
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. The ground lug bracket screws ship attached
to the switch. Before you install the DC switch in the dual-tray, attach the ground lug and bracket to the switch using the
included screws and then attach the DC ground wire to the ground lug.
The ground cable is not included. The grounding lugs must be a UL-recognized, crimp-type lug.
CAUTION: Grounding conductors
NOTE: Coat the one-hole lug with an anti-oxidant compound before crimping. Also, bring any unplated mating surfaces to a shiny
finish and coat with an anti-oxidant before mating. Plated mating surfaces must be clean and free from contamination.
NOTE: The rack installation ears are not suitable for grounding.
To connect the ground cable to the switch:
1 Cut your user-supplied ground cable to the desired length.
The cable length must facilitate proper operation of the fault interrupt circuits. Use the shortest cable route allowable.
2 Crimp the ground cable inside the pre-installed ground lug.
3 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.

Rack or cabinet hardware installation

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 mounting for
the S5232F-ON, S5248F-ON, and S5224F-ON switches includes four-post, two-post, round threaded holes, or square holes. The
ReadyRails system is provided for 1U front-rack and two-post installations.
Do not use the ReadyRails system for the S5296F-ON or S5212F-ON switches. For the S5212F-ON switch, see
installation. For the S5296F-ON switch, see
The ReadyRails system includes separately packaged rail assemblies.
