3. Insert the second cable into stack port 60 of chassis 2 (center) and port 56 of chassis 3 (top). 4. Use the third cable to connect the top and bottom units by inserting one end of the cable into stack port 56 on chassis 1 (bottom) and the other end of the cable into stack port 60 on chassis 3 (top). Figure 26. Three S5000s Connected in a Ring Supplying Power and Powering Up the System Supply power to the S5000 system after the chassis is mounted in a rack or cabinet. WARNING: Installing and swapping of Fibre Channel or Ethernet modules must be done BEFORE power up. If you need to replace a module, power down the system before you replace it. If you replace a module when the system is powered up, the system does not recognize the module. Online insertion of modules can result in a catastrophic failure. Dell Networking recommends reinspecting your system prior to powering up. Verify that: • The equipment is properly secured to the rack. • The equipment rack is properly mounted and grounded. • The ambient temperature around the unit (which may be higher than the room temperature) is within the limits specified for the S5000. • There is sufficient airflow around the chassis. • The input circuits are correctly sized for the loads and that you use sufficient overcurrent protection devices. NOTE: For powering up an AC PSU, an AC power cable is included in the shipping container. You must order all other power cables separately. CAUTION: ESD damage can occur if the components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the S5000 and its components. 41

Supplying Power and Powering Up the System
Supply power to the S5000 system after the chassis is mounted in a rack or cabinet.
WARNING: Installing and swapping of Fibre Channel or Ethernet modules must be done BEFORE power up. If you
need to replace a module, power down the system before you replace it. If you replace a module when the system
is powered up, the system does not recognize the module. Online insertion of modules can result in a catastrophic
failure.
Dell Networking recommends reinspecting your system prior to powering up. Verify that:
The equipment is properly secured to the rack.
The equipment rack is properly mounted and grounded.
The ambient temperature around the unit (which may be higher than the room temperature) is within the limits
specified for the S5000.
There is sufficient airflow around the chassis.
The input circuits are correctly sized for the loads and that you use sufficient overcurrent protection devices.
