1 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 prevent injury when installing this system. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur 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.
