Installing the Hardware
This guide assumes all site preparation has been performed before installing the
chassis.
Installing the S4810 Chassis in a Rack or
Cabinet
To install the S4810 system, Dell Force10 recommends that you complete the
installation procedures in the order presented below.
Always handle the system and its components with care. Avoid dropping the
S4810 chassis or its field replaceable units.
For proper ventilation, position the S4810 chassis in an equipment rack (or
cabinet) with a minimum of five 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 S4810 and its components. As with all electrical devices of this
type, take all necessary safety precautions to pr event injury when installing
this system. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage c a n occ ur if components
are mishandled.
Attaching Mounting Brackets
The S4810 is shipped with mounting brackets (rack ears) and required screws
for rack or cabinet installation. The brackets are enclosed in a package with the
chassis.
Step Task
1 Take the brackets and screws out of their packaging.
4 Installing the Hardware
Install chassis into 2-post rack or cabinet
Attach a Ground Cable
The S4810 is shipped with 1 M4x0.7 screw for attaching a ground cable to the
chassis. The cable itself is not included. Dell Force10 recommends a 6AWG
one-hole lug, #10 hole size, 63" spacing (not included in shipping) to properly
ground the chassis. The one-hole lug must be a UL recognized, crimp-type lug.
NOTE: The rack installation ears are not suitable for grounding.
CAUTION: Grounding conductors must be made of copper. Do not use
aluminum conductors.
2 Attach the brackets to the sides of the chassis at the PSU end, using four
screws for each bracket.
Attach the bracket so that the “ear” faces to the PSU and the outsi de of
the chassis.
Step Task
1 Dell Force10 recommends that one person hold the S4810 chassis in
place while a second person attaches the brackets to the posts.
2 Attach the bracket "ears" to the rack or cabinet posts, using two screws
for each bracket. Ensure the screws are tightened firmly.
