To connect the ground cable to the switch, follow these steps.
1
Cut the ground cable (not included) to the desired length. The cable length must facilitate proper operation of the fault interrupt
circuits. Use the shortest cable route allowable.
2
Using one threaded M3 hole, attached the ground cable to the lug using an M3 screw with a captive internal tooth lock washer. Torque
the screw to ±4-5 in-lbs.
3
Attach the other end of the ground cable to a suitable ground point such as the rack or cabinet.
The rack installation ears are not a suitable grounding point.
Optics installation
The S5200F-ON Series (S5232F-ON, S5248F-ON, and S5296F-ON) has SFP+, SFP28, QSFP-DD, and QSFP28 optical ports.
For a list of supported optics, see the specification sheets at
or contact your Dell EMC Sales representative.
CAUTION:
ESD damage can occur if components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap
when handling the S5200F-ON Series switch and components.
WARNING:
When working with optical fibers, follow all warning labels and always wear eye protection. Never look directly into
the end of a terminated or unterminated fiber or connector as it may cause eye damage.
1
Position the optic to enter the port correctly.
The optic has a key that prevents it from being inserted incorrectly.
2
Insert the optic into the port until it gently snaps into place.
NOTE:
When you cable the ports, be sure not to interfere with the airflow from the small vent holes above and below the
ports.
Optics removal
Remove an optic by pushing the tab on the optic and sliding the optic from the port.
When removing optics with direct attach cables (DACs) from the port, pull the release tab firmly and steadily. Before pulling the release tab,
you may need to gently push the optic into the port to ensure that it is seated properly. Do not jerk or tug repeatedly on the tab.
Switch start up
Supply power to the S5200F-ON Series switch after it is mounted in a rack or cabinet.
Dell EMC recommends reinspecting your switch before powering it up. Verify the following:
•
Optional: The equipment is properly secured to the rack and properly grounded.
•
Optional: The equipment rack is properly mounted and grounded.
•
The ambient temperature around the unit, which may be higher than the room temperature, is within the limits that are specified for the
S5200F-ON Series switch.
•
There is sufficient airflow around the unit.
•
The input circuits are correctly sized for the loads and that you use sufficient overcurrent protection devices.
CAUTION:
Do not start up the switch if a fan module is not installed.
NOTE:
A US AC or DC power cable is included for powering up an AC or DC power supply. You must order all other power cables
separately.
NOTE:
ESD damage can occur if components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when
handling the S5200F-ON Series switch and components.
