The fan speed increases when the internal temperature reaches 72 degrees C, and decreases to normal speed when the temperature falls to 58 degrees C. The switch never intentionally turns off the fans. show logging Use the command to see the log messages. For details, see the System Logs chapters of the FTOS Command Reference and FTOS Configuration Guide.

Chapter 3 Install the S4810 To install the S4810 system, Force10 Networks recommends that you complete the installation procedures in the order presented below. Always handle the system and its components with care. Avoid dropping the S4810 switch or its field replaceable units.
Page 20: Install Chassis Into Rack Or Cabinet
Step Task (Continued) Attach the brackets to the sides of the chassis at the PSU end, using four screws for each bracket. Attach the bracket so that the “ear” faces to the PSU and the outside of the chassis. Connect to Rack/Cabinet View from chassis I/O side (ears)
Page 21: Attach Ground Cable
Step Task (Continued) Attach the bracket “ears” to the rack or cabinet posts, using two screws for each bracket. Ensure the screws are tightened firmly. Rack/Cabine Post PSU0 PSU1 Rack Mounting Ears Attach ground cable The S4810 is shipped with 1 M4x0.7 screw for attaching a ground cable to the chassis. The cable itself is not included.
Page 22: Install The Sfp+ And Qsfp+ Optics
Step Task (Continued) Attach the one-hole lug to the chassis as shown, using the supplied 10-32 screw with captive internal tooth lock washer. The screw should be torqued to 20 in-lbs. Lug Hole Ground Screw Attach the other end of the ground cable to a suitable ground point. The rack installation ears are not a suitable grounding point.
Page 23: Remove The Sfp+ And Qsfp+ Optics
Step Task (Continued) Insert the optic into the port until it gently snaps into place. Note: Both rows of QSFP+ ports require that the 40G optics be instered with the tabs facing up. Remove the SFP+ and QSFP+ optics Remove an optic by pushing the tab on the optic and sliding the optic from the port. When removing optics with Direct Attach Cables (DACs), pull the release tab firmly and steadily to remove the optic from the port.

Page 27: Power Up Sequence
Power up sequence When the chassis powers up, the fans immediately come on at high speed. The fan speed slows as the system boots up. The PWR LED blinks until the boot-up sequence is complete. When the boot up is complete the PWD LED is steadily lit.

Page 29: Power Supplies
The S4810 is orderable as an empty chassis (S4810P) or with an AC power supply. The S4810P-AC/ S4810P-AC-R system comes from the factory with 1 AC power supply and 2 fan modules installed in the chassis. Power supplies are field replaceable. When running with full redundancy (2 power supplies installed and running) a power supply unit can be removed an replaced while the other is running without disrupting traffic.
Page 30: Install An Ac Power Supply
PSU1 To install a new power supply, follow the steps below: The power supply modules should slide into the slots smoothly. Do not force a module into a slot. This may damage the power supply or the S4810 chassis. Step Task Take the power supply unit out of the shipping box.
Page 31: Replace An Ac Power Supply
Step Task Attach power cables. The system powers up as soon as the cables are connected between the power supply and the power source. Replace an AC power supply Note: If a power supply fails, it must be completely replaced. There are no field servicable components in the module itself.
