  • Page 3: About This Guide

    The Dell Networking Configuration Guide for the S4048T-ON System describes software configuration. • The Dell Networking Command Line Reference Guide for the S4048T-ON System provides command line interface (CLI) information. • The Dell Networking Release Notes for the S4048T-ON System provide information about upgrading the S4048T-ON system.

  • Page 4: Nebs Compliance

    NEBS compliance For your system to be network equipment building system (NEBS) compliant, you must follow the instructions detailed in this chapter. To be NEBs compliant, orient your system in the rack so that the air inlet is from the front aisle and the air exhaust is from the rear aisle.
  • Page 5 • Ground your system using a copper ground conductor. • Clean and coat all bare grounding connection points on your system with an anti-oxidant solution before making connections. • Bring all unplated surfaces on your system to a bright finish and treat them with an anti- oxidant solution before making connections.

  • Page 6: Hardware Installation

    Hardware installation This information describes installation of the S4048T-ON system. Dell recommends completing the installation procedures in the order presented here. Topics: • Operation and safety considerations • Ground and bracket installation • ReadyRails installation • System installation • Ground wire installation •...
  • Page 7 • 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. •...
  • Page 8 • A crimping tool. • A thread-locker compound—Dell recommends Threadlocker Blue 242 or equivalent. Attach the end of the ground wire to the GND lug: Coat the bare end of the wire with an anti-oxidant compound. b Insert the end of the wire into the lug.

Screws, GND lug, and L-bracket Attach the assembly to the S4048T-ON chassis: Apply the thread-locker compound to the two pan head screws. b Attach the GND lug and bracket assembly to the two-hole chassis ground connector nuts on the S4048T-ON PSU side, tightening the screws to ensure torque from 3–5 inch/lbs.
  • Page 11 The ReadyRails rack mounting system is provided to easily configure your rack so that you can install your switch. Use the Dell ReadyRails™ system in 1U front-rack and two-post installations. The ReadyRails system includes two separately packaged rail assemblies and two rails that are shipped attached to the sides of the switch.
  • Page 12 1U tool-less configuration NOTE: Your system is not NEBS Earthquake Z4-compliant if you use the 1U tool-less square-hole or two-post installation methods. Face the ReadyRails flange ears outward then place the rail between the left and right vertical posts. Align and seat the back flange rail pegs in the back vertical post flange. To see how the pegs appear in both the square and unthreaded round holes, see item 1.
  • Page 13 Two-post flush-mount configuration NOTE: Your system is not NEBS Earthquake Z4-compliant if you use this installation method. For this configuration, remove the latch castings from the front side of each ReadyRails assembly, item 1. To remove the two screws and latch casting from each front flange ear, on the switch side of the rail, use a Torx driver.
  • Page 14 Figure 5. Two-post flush-mount configuration Two-post center-mount configuration NOTE: Your system is not NEBS Earthquake Z4-compliant if you use this installation method. Slide the plunger bracket rearward until it clicks into place and secure the bracket to the front post flange with two user-supplied screws, item 1. Slide the back bracket towards the post and secure it to the post flange with two user- supplied screws, item 2.
  • Page 15 Repeat this procedure for the second rail. Figure 6. Two-post center-mount configuration Four-post threaded configuration NOTE: To be NEBS Earthquake Z4-compliant, you must remove the tool-less latch castings described in Step 1. Remove the latch castings from each end of the ReadyRails assemblies. To remove the two screws from each flange ear and remove the latch castings, use a Torx driver, item 1.

    Figure 7. Four-post threaded configuration System installation You can mount the system in the 1U front-rack or 1U two-post flush or center configurations. For the 1U two-post flush or center configurations, slide the system into the rails in the same manner as the four-post configurations. The following is an example of a 1U front-rack configuration: Hardware installation...

S4048T–ON front-rack configuration installation Chassis Rail end Rail locking feature Ground wire installation After you have installed the S4048T-ON switch in a rack, complete the installation of the ground wire. You previously installed the GND lug and bracket assembly, with ground wire attached, to the S4048T-ON chassis, see Ground lug and bracket installation.
  • Page 19 You must supply: • One two-hole UL-certified GND lug to attach the ground wire to the rack • Two National Electric Code (NEC)-compliant screws to attach the GND lug to the rack • Anti-oxidant compound • Crimping tool Measure and cut a length of wire sufficient to reach between the system-installed GND lug and the rack-end GND lug.
  • Page 20 The PSU side includes two slots, PSU1 and PSU2. Although the switch can run on one PSU, Dell highly recommends using two PSUs for full redundancy and more cooling. To avoid overheating when the switch is running with only a single PSU, use PSU1, on the left when facing the PSU side.
  • Page 21 WARNING: ESD damage can occur if components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the system and its components. WARNING: To prevent electrical shock, ensure that the system is grounded properly. If you ground your equipment incorrectly, excessive emissions may result. To ensure that the power cables meet your local electrical requirements, use a qualified electrician.
