Install The S5000 Chassis In A Rack Or Cabinet; To Install The S5000 System, Dell Networking Recommends Completing The Installation Procedures In The Order Presented Here; Attaching The Mounting Brackets - Dell Networking S5000 Installation Manual

• Enough clearance to the front of the switch so you can read the LEDs.
• AC/DC power cord reaches from the power outlet to the Utility-panel connector.
• Switch is rack-mounted before you install the power supply modules.
• Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise, such as radios, power lines, and fluorescent lighting. Make
sure that the cabling is safely away from other devices that might damage the cables. If needed, allow one rack
unit (RU) space between devices to provide room for cabling.
• Airflow around the switch and through the vents is unrestricted.
• Temperature around the unit does not exceed 104°F (40°C). If the switch is in a closed or multirack assembly, the
temperature might be higher than normal room temperature.
• Humidity around the switch does not exceed 85 percent.
• Altitude at the installation site is below 6600 feet.
• Switch is installed in an environment as free as possible from dust and foreign conductive material (such as
metal flakes from construction activities). Cooling mechanisms, such as fans and blowers in the switch, can
draw dust and other particles causing contaminant buildup inside the chassis, which can result in system
malfunction.

Install the S5000 Chassis in a Rack or Cabinet

To install the S5000 system, Dell Networking recommends completing the installation
procedures in the order presented here.
NOTE: Always handle the system and its components with care. Avoid dropping the S5000 chassis or its field
replaceable units.
NOTE: For proper ventilation, position the S5000 chassis in an equipment rack (or cabinet) with a minimum of 5
inches (12.7 cm) of clearance around exhaust vents. The acceptable ambient temperature ranges are listed in the
Environmental Parameters section.
CAUTION: Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the S5000 and its
components. As with all electrical devices of this type, take all necessary safety precautions to prevent injury
when installing this system. ESD damage can occur if components are mishandled.

Attaching the Mounting Brackets

The S5000 is shipped with mounting brackets (rack ears) and the required screws (eight screws) for rack or cabinet
installation. The brackets are enclosed in a package with the chassis.
1. Take the brackets and screws out of their packaging.
2. Slide the mounting brackets, as shown in the following figure.
