Site Preparations
The S4810 is suitable for installation as part of a Common Bond Network (CBN). It can be installed in:
•network telecommunication facilities
•data centers
•other locations where the National Electric Code (NEC) applies
This chapter contains the following sections:
•Site Selection
•Cabinet Placement
•Rack Mounting
•Grounding
•Fans and Airflow
•Power
•Storing Components
For more information about S4810 specifications, refer to
NOTE: Install the S4810 system into a rack or cabinet before installing any optional components.
Chapter 8, Specifications
.
Site Selection
Dell Force10 Networks’ equipment is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted
access area is one in which access can only be gained by service personnel through the use of a special
tool, lock, key or other means of security and access is controlled by the authority responsible for the
location.
Ensure that the area where you install your S4810 system meets the following safety requirements:
•Near an adequate power source. Connect the system to the appropriate branch circuit protection as
defined by your local electrical codes.
•Environmental temperature between 32° to 104°F (0° to 40°C).
•Relative humidity that does not exceed 85% non-condensing.
•In a dry, clean, well-ventilated and temperature-controlled room, away from heat sources such as hot air
vents or direct sunlight.
•Away from sources of severe electromagnetic noise.
•Positioned in a rack or cabinet, or on a desktop with adequate space in the front, rear, and sides of the
S4810 for proper ventilation and access.
Site Preparations|15
Cabinet Placement
Install the S4810 only in indoor cabinets designed for use in a controlled environment as described in
Selection
The cabinet must meet the following criteria:
•Minimum cabinet size and airflow are according to the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) standard.
. Do not install the S4810 in outside plant cabinets.
Rack Mounting
When you prepare your equipment rack, ensure that the rack is earth ground. The equipment rack must be
grounded to the same ground point used by the power service in your area. The ground path must be
permanent.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com
Grounding
Use the S4810 in a Common Bond Network (CBN). You must connect the grounding cables as described
Chapter 4, Install the S4810
in
.
Fans and Airflow
The S4810 fans support two airflow options. Be sure to order the fans suitable to support your site’s
ventilation. Use a single type of airflow fan in your system. Do not mix reverse and normal airflows in a
single S4810 chassis.
Site
•Normal—airflow is from the I/O panel to the power supply
•Reversed—airflow is from the power supply to the I/O panel
For proper ventilation, position the S4810 in an equipment rack (or cabinet) with a minimum of
five inches (12.7cm) of clearance around the exhaust vents. When you install two S4810 systems near
each other, position the two chassis at least five inches (12.7cm) apart to permit proper airflow. The
acceptable ambient temperature ranges are listed in
The fan speed increases when the internal temperature reaches 72°C and decreases to normal speed when
the temperature falls to 58°C. The switch never intentionally turns off the fans.
Use the show logging command to see the log messages. For more information, refer to the System Logs
chapters of the FTOS Command Ling Reference Guide for the S4810 System and FTOS Configuration Guide for the S4810 System.
Environmental Parameters
.
Power
Use the appropriate power cord with the Z4810 system to connect the chassis to the applicable power
source. An AC power cord is included with the system.
When installing AC systems, follow the requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70
where applicable.
16|Site Preparations
The system is powered-up as soon as the power cord is connected between the system and the power
source.
CAUTION: Always disconnect the power cable before you service the power supply slots.CAUTION: Use the power supply cord as the main disconnect device on the AC system. Ensure that the
socket-outlet is located/installed near the equipment and is easily accessible.
Storing Components
If you do not install your S4810 and components immediately, Dell Force10 recommends properly
storing the system and all optional components until you are ready to install them.
WARNING: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur when components are mishandled. Always
wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the S4810 and its accessories. After you
remove the original packaging, place the S4810 and its components on an antistatic surface.
Follow these storage guidelines:
•Storage temperature must remain constant ranging from -4° to 158° F (-20°C to 70° C).
•Store on a dry surface or floor, away from direct sunlight, heat, and air conditioning ducts.
•Store in a dust-free environment.
