Dell Networking S5000 Getting Started Manual page 16

• 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 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
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.
