Rack Mounting Safety Considerations
You may either place the switch on the rack shelf or mount the switch directly into a 19" wide, EIA-310-E- compliant rack.
•
Rack loading — Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in shelf or rack failure, which may damage equipment and cause
possible personal injury. Stabilize racks in a permanent location before loading begins. Mount the components beginning at the bottom
of the rack, then work to the top. Do not exceed your rack load rating.
•
Power considerations — Connect only to the power source specified on the unit. When multiple electrical components are installed in
a rack, ensure that the total component power ratings do not exceed the circuit capabilities. Overloaded power sources and extension
cords present fire and shock hazards.
•
Elevated ambient temperature — If installed in a closed rack assembly, the operating temperature of the rack environment may be
greater than the room ambient temperature. Use care not to exceed the 40°C maximum ambient temperature of the switch.
•
Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of the equipment is not
compromised.
•
Reverse air flow — Necessary clearance is required to ensure cool air intake and to avoid hot air blow out from I/O panel.
•
Reliable earthing — Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to the supply connections other
than the direct connections to the branch circuit; for example, use of power strips.
•
Do not mount the equipment with the Utility panel facing in the downward position.
NOTE:
These instructions are a condensed reference. Read the safety instructions in your Safety, Environmental, and
Regulatory information booklet before you begin.

Installing the S5000 Chassis into a 4-Post Rack or
Cabinet
NOTE:
Dell EMC recommends that one person hold the S5000 chassis in place while a second person attaches the
brackets to the posts.
Attach the bracket "ears" to the rack or cabinet posts, using two screws for each bracket. Ensure the screws are tightened firmly.
