Installing the Hardware
This guide assumes all site preparation has been performed before installing the
chassis.
Installing the Chassis in a Rack or Cabinet
To install the S25N, S25V, or S25P system, Dell Force10 recommends that you
complete the installation procedures in the order presented below .
NOTE: Unless stated otherwise, the installation instructions below apply to the
S25N, S25V, and S25P systems.
Always handle the system and its components with care. Avoid dropping the
switch or its field replaceable units.
CAUTION: Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when
handling the chassis and its components. As with all electrical devices of this
type, take all necessary safety precautions to prevent injury when installing
this system. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage c a n occ ur if components
are mishandled.
Installing a Chassis in a Two-Post Rack
The chassis is shipped with the universal front-mounting brackets (rack ears)
attached. Ensure that there is adequate clearance surrounding the rack to permit
access and airflow.
The S25 chassis can be installed using several methods. This document
describes the most common installation method: two-post rack. For information
regarding other installation methods, refer to the
Installing S25N and S25V Systems
guide and the Installing the S25P System guide.
This document does not include stacking or installing stacked units. Refer to the
Installing S25N and S25V Systems guide and the Installing the S25P System guide
for details on stacking installation and cabling.
6 Installing the Hardware
Step Task
1 Dell Force10 recommends that one person hold the chassis in place
while a second person attaches the brackets to the posts.
2 Position the unit in the rack. Secure the unit with two of the supplied
screws through each bracket and onto the rack post.
