Site preparations
Site selection
Install Dell equipment in restricted access areas.
A restricted access area is one in which service personnel can only gain access using a special tool, lock, key or other means of security.
Access is controlled by the authority responsible for the location.
Ensure that the area where you install your S6100–ON system meets the following safety requirements:
• Near an adequate power source. Connect the system to the appropriate branch circuit protection as dened by your local electrical
codes.
• Environmental temperature range is from 32° to 113°F (from 0° to 45°C).
• The switch operating ambient temperature range is from 10° to 35°C (from 50° to 95°F).
• Relative humidity is from 5 to 85 percent noncondensing.
• 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, back, and sides for proper ventilation and access.
Cabinet placement
Install the S6100–ON only in indoor cabinets designed for use in a controlled environment.
Do not install the S6100–ON in outside cabinets. For cabinet placement requirements, see Site selection.
Site preparations 13
The cabinet must meet minimum size requirements. Airow must be in accordance with the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) standard.
Ensure that there is a minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) between the intake and exhaust vents and the cabinet wall.
Rack mounting
When you prepare your equipment rack, ensure that the rack is grounded.
Ground the equipment rack to the same ground point the power service in your area uses. The ground path must be permanent.
System ground
Dell recommends grounding your system. Use the S6100–ON in a common bond network (CBN).
Connect the grounding cables as described in S6100-ON installation.
Fans and airow
The S6100–ON fans support two airow options: normal and reverse.
Fan combinations
The S6100-ON has stock keeping units (SKUs) that support the following congurations. Installation of the fans is done as part of the
factory install based on SKU type.
• AC or DC PSU with fan airow from the I/O to the PSU
• AC or DC PSU with fan airow from the PSU to the I/O
Be sure to order the fans suitable to support your site’s ventilation. Use a single type of airow fan in your system. Do not mix reverse and
normal airows in a single S6100–ON chassis.
For proper ventilation, position the S6100-ON in an equipment rack or cabinet with a minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) of clearance around
the exhaust vents. When you install two S6100-ON systems near each other, to permit proper airow, position the two chassis at least 5
inches (12.7 cm) apart. The fan speed increases when the internal temperature reaches 161.6°F (72°C). The fan speed decreases to normal
speed when the temperature falls to 136.4°F (58°C). The S6100-ON never intentionally turns o the fans.
Power
To connect the chassis to the applicable power source, use the appropriate power cord with the S6100–ON. An AC or DC power cord is
included with the system.
When installing AC or DC systems, follow the requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 where applicable.
CAUTION
CAUTION: Use the power supply cord as the main disconnect device on the AC system. Ensure that the socket-outlet is located
and installed near the equipment and is easily accessible.
The system is powered-up when the power cord is connected between the system and the power source.
NOTE
: Always disconnect the power cable before you service the power supply slots.
: Module power is software controlled. You do not see module LEDs when the system powers up in ONIE.
14 Site preparations
Storing components
If you do not install your S6100–ON and components immediately, properly store the system and all optional components by following these
guidelines:
• Storage location temperature must remain constant. The storage range is from -40° to 158°F (-40°C to 70°C).
• Store on a dry surface or oor, away from direct sunlight, heat, and air conditioning ducts.
• Store in a dust-free environment.
NOTE: ESD damage can occur when components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap
when handling the S6100–ON and its accessories. After you remove the original packaging, place the S6100–ON and its
components on an anti-static surface.
Site preparations 15
NEBS compliance
For your system to be network equipment building system (NEBS) compliant, you must follow the instructions detailed in this chapter.
To be NEBS-compliant, orient your system in the rack so that the air inlet is from the front aisle and the air exhaust is to the rear aisle.
Topics:
• Important information
• NEBS-compliant ground installation
Important information
WARNING: The quad form-factor pluggable (QSFP), console, Ethernet management, and universal serial bus (USB) ports are
suitable for connection to intra-building or unexposed wiring or cabling only. You MUST NOT metallically connect the ports to
interfaces that connect to the out side plant (OSP) or its wiring. Use these interfaces as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or
Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 6) and they require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. Adding primary
protectors is not sucient protection to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.
4
WARNING: If you install and connect the S6100-ON to a commercial AC power source, you must connect the system to an
external special protection device (SPD).
To be NEBS-compliant, you must follow these regulations:
• Locate your system in a restricted-access area were only trained personnel are allowed access.
• Install and connect your system to the common bonding network (CBN).
• You can also install and connect your system to the central oce.
• Connect the battery returns of your system as DC-I.
• Ground your system using a copper ground conductor.
• Clean all bare grounding connection points on your chassis and the bracket with an anti-oxidant solution before making connections.
• Use the two-hole, Listed, compression-type lug with a AWG 14 gauge wire to secure your system to the frame.
NOTE
: The S6100–ON can operate at -48 to -60 VDC at a maximum current level of 24A.
NOTE: The S6100-ON is Earthquake Z4-compliant when you attach the ReadyRails to the four-post frame using threaded
hardware.
NEBS-compliant ground installation
Before you install the switch into a rack, install the ground (GND) lug assembly.
The accessory box includes a UL-certied GND lug and two nuts, packaged separately. If any parts are missing, contact your Dell Sales
Representative.
CAUTION
: Grounding conductors must be made of copper. Do not use aluminum conductors.
NOTE: The rack installation ears are not suitable for grounding.
NOTE: Coat the two-hole lug with an anti-oxidant compound before crimping. Also, bring any unplated mating surfaces to a shiny
nish and coat with an anti-oxidant before mating. Plated mating surfaces must be clean and free from contamination.
16 NEBS compliance
NOTE: Never use the same bolts to secure multiple grounding cables.
For rack spans from 22 to 23.375 inches
The switch ships without the ground lug attached. To be NEBS-compliant, attach the ground lug using these steps.
Figure 6. Switch without ground lug
1 Remove the ground lug from the shipping bag and crimp the ground wire to the lug.
The ground wire is not included.
NOTE
: The grounding cable must comply with your local electrical codes in size and color. Wires are typically green or
green with a yellow stripe.
2 Attach the ground lug to the mounting bracket using two M5 nuts, included.
Torque to 30 in-lb.
Figure 7. Switch with ground lug
: For proper ventilation, position the chassis in an equipment rack or cabinet with a minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm)
NOTE
of clearance around exhaust vents. The acceptable ambient temperature ranges are listed in the Environmental
Parameters section.
3 Attach the rack rails to the rack using four screws on the front of the rack and eight screws on the back of the rack.
