• Power considerations — Connect only to the power source specified on the unit.
When multiple electrical components are installed in a rack, ensure that the total
component power ratings do not exceed the circuit capabilities. Overloaded
power sources and extension cords present fire and shock hazards.
• Elevated ambient temperature — If installed in a closed rack assembly, the
operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the room
ambient temperature. Use care not to exceed the 40°C maximum ambient
temperature of the switch.
• Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount of
airflow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
• Reverse air flow — Necessary clearance is required to ensure cool air intake
and to avoid hot air blow out from I/O panel.
• Reliable earthing — Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment. Pay
particular attention to the supply connections other than the direct connections
to the branch circuit; for example, use of power strips.
• Do not mount the equipment with the Utility panel facing in the downward
position.

Installing the S5000 Chassis into a 4-Post Rack or Cabinet
NOTE: Dell Networking recommends that one person hold the S5000 chassis in
place while a second person attaches the brackets to the posts.
Attach the bracket "ears" to the rack or cabinet posts, using two screws for each
bracket. Ensure the screws are tightened firmly.
