Installing the Hardware

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

chassis.

To install the S25N, S25V, or S25P system, Dell Force10 recommends that you

complete the installation procedures in the order presented below.

NOTE: Unless stated otherwise, the installation instructions below apply to the

S25N, S25V, and S25P systems.

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 a 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 S25 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

guide and the Installing the S25P System guide.

This document does not include stacking or installing stacked units. Refer to the
