Installing the Hardware

This guide assumes all site preparation has been performed before installing the chassis.

Installing the S2410 Chassis in a Rack or Cabinet

There are two models of the S2410 switch. Each model includes: S2410P

• 24 fixed 10GbE XFP ports (needs XFP optics)

• 1 RJ-45 console port with RS-232 signaling

• 1 RJ-45 dedicated Ethernet Management port (labeled 10/100 Ethernet)

S2410CP

• 20 fixed 10GbE BaseCX4 ports

• 4 ports for optional 10G XFP transceivers (needs XFP optics)

• 1 RJ-45 console port with RS-232 signaling

• 1 RJ-45 10/100 dedicated Ethernet Management port (labeled 10/100 Ethernet).

To install the S2410 system, Dell Force10 recommends that you complete the installation procedures in the order presented below.

Always handle the system with care. Avoid dropping the S2410 chassis.

CAUTION: Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when

handling the S2410. As with all electrical devices of this type, take all necessary safety precautions to prevent injury when installing this system. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur if components are mishandled.

Installing the Hardware 3

Attaching Mounting Brackets

S2410 systems have no stacking or other optional modules, so, to install the S2410 system, you can simply install the system on a tabletop, in a rack, or in a cabinet, turn it on, and then connect ports.

The S2410 is shipped with two universal front-mounting brackets (rack ears), which are contained in a bag with 3 Phillips screws for each rack ear.

Step Task

1 Ta ke the brackets and screws out of their packaging.

CAUTION: Use only the supplied screws for attaching the

rack ears. Longer screws might compromise the electronics. Shorter or weaker screws might not adequately support the S2410.

2 Attach the ears to the front corners of the switch.

Installing on Rack

Ensure that your equipment 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.

4 Installing the Hardware

Install chassis into 2-post rack or cabinet

fn00147as2410

Step Task

1 Dell Force10 recommends that one person hold the S2410 chassis in

place while a second person attaches the brackets to the posts.

2 Position the S2410 chassis in the rack.

Attach the bracket "ears" to the rack or cabinet posts, using the supplied screws for each bracket. Ensure the screws are tightened firmly.

NOTE: The rack ears supplied with the S2410 have a hole in the

middle to accommodate the vent in the S2410.

3 Secure the chassis with two screws through each bracket and onto the

front rack post.

Ground Connector

You will need two grounded AC power sources. Use the supplied AC power cords to connect the S2410 to the AC power source

Ideally, the power sources are on separate circuits. Connect the plug to the AC receptacles at the rear of the S2410, making sure the

cords are secure at both ends. Connecting either power cord starts the system (no on/off switch).

Supplying Power to the System

NOTE: The power cords shipped by default with the S2410 chassis are for the

United States. Several versions of the power cord are available, based on country requirements.
