• 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.
Installing in a Rack or Cabinet
To install the S5000 system, Dell EMC 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.
