This guide assumes all site preparation has been performed before installing the chassis.
Installing the Chassis
To install the S50 chassis, Dell Force10 recommends that you complete the
installation procedures in the order presented below.
NOTE: Unless stated otherwise, the installation instructions below apply to both
the S50N and S50V chassis.
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 can occur if components
are mishandled.
Installing the 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 S50N and S50V 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
