Rack Mounting

Ensure that your equipment rack is earth ground. The equipment rack must be grounded to the same
ground point used by the power service in your area. The ground path must be permanent.
For rack-mounting instructions, see

Fans and Airflow

Ventilation is primarily side-to-side (some vents in back), with seven fans on the left side of the switch
that operate at a constant speed. For proper ventilation, position the chassis in an equipment rack (or
cabinet) with a minimum of five inches (12.7 cm) of clearance around the side intake and exhaust vents.
When two S-Series systems are installed side by side, position the two chassis at least 5 inches (12.7 cm)
apart to permit proper airflow. The acceptable ambient temperature ranges are listed in

LED that includes alarms for fan problems and out-of-range temperatures. The LED is amber when the
temperature or components are outside expected parameters, red in a major alarm.
SFTOS logs a temperature warning message when a temperature of 77 degrees C is reached, and logs
another message when the temperature returns to normal. The Command Line Interface (CLI) also
reports an alarm.

Fan replacement is not offered as an option in the field.

Power

CAUTION: The power supply cord is used as the main disconnect device; ensure that the socket-outlet is
located/installed near the equipment and is easily accessible.
Both S2410 models (S2410CP and S2410P) provide built-in dual AC power supplies. Ideally, the power
sources would be on separate circuits. While only one power supply is needed for the unit to operate, if
both power supplies are connected, the power supplies act as redundant backups and do some load
sharing, although the sharing is not necessarily equal.
There are no DC power or backup power options.

Storing Components

If you do not install your system and components immediately, Dell Force10 recommends that you
properly store the S2410 and all optional components until you are ready to install them.
WARNING: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur when components are mishandled. Always
wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the S2410 and its accessories. After you
remove the original packaging, place the S2410 and its components on an antistatic surface.
Follow these storage guidelines:
