Install the Hardware

Before installing the switch, verify that you meet these guidelines:
• You have enough clearance to the front of the switch so you can read the
light emitting diodes (LEDs).
• The AC power cord reaches from the power outlet to the Utility panel
connector.
• The switch is rack-mounted before you power it up.
• Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise, such as radios, power
lines, and fluorescent lighting. Ensure that the cabling is safely away from
other devices that might damage the cables. If needed, allow one rack unit
(RU) space between devices to provide room for cabling.
• Airflow around the switch and through the vents is unrestricted.
• Temperature around the unit does not exceed 113°F (45°C). If the switch is
in a closed or multirack assembly, the temperature might be higher than
normal room temperature.
• Humidity around the switch does not exceed 90 percent.
• Altitude at the installation site is below 10,000 feet.
• The switch is installed in an environment as free as possible from dust and
foreign conductive material (such as metal flakes from construction
activities). Cooling mechanisms, such as fans and blowers in the switch,
can draw dust and other particles causing contaminant buildup inside the
chassis, which can result in system malfunction.

Install the Chassis

To install the S3048–Open Networking (ON) system, Dell Networking
recommends completing the installation procedures in the order presented
here.
NOTE: Always handle the system and its components with care. Avoid
dropping the S3048–ON chassis or its field replaceable units.
NOTE: For proper ventilation, position the S3048–ON chassis in an
equipment rack (or cabinet) with a minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) of
clearance around exhaust vents. The acceptable ambient temperature
ranges are listed in the Technical Specifications section under
Environmental Parameters.
