Storing components Site selection Install Dell equipment in restricted access areas. A restricted access area is one where service personnel can only gain access using a special tool, lock, key, or other means of security. The authority responsible for the location controls access to the restricted area.
The ground path must be permanent. System ground Dell recommends grounding your system. Use the S4100–ON Series switch in a CBN. Fans and airflow The fans on the S4100–ON Series support two airflow options: normal and reverse.
Storing components If you do not install your S4100–ON Series swtich and components immediately, Dell recommends properly storing the switch and all optional components following these guidelines: • Storage location temperature must remain constant. The storage range is from -40° to 149°F (-40° to 65°C).
S4100–ON Series installation To install the S4100–ON Series, Dell recommends completing the installation procedures in the order presented in this section. Always handle the S4100–ON Series switch and its components with care. Avoid dropping the system or any field replaceable units (FRUs).
You may either place the switch on a rack shelf or mount the switch directly into a 19" wide, EIA-310- E-compliant rack. Rack mounting includes four-post, two-post, round threaded holes, or square holes. The Dell ReadyRails system is provided for 1U front-rack and two-post installations.
Figure 2. Separate rails 1U Tool-less mount installation NOTE: For more installation instructions, see the installation labels attached to the rail assembly. Face the ReadyRails flange ears facing outward. Place one rail between the left and right vertical posts. Align and seat the back flange rail pegs in the back vertical post flange.
Figure 3. 1U tool-less installation Align and seat the front flange pegs in the holes on the front side of the vertical post. NOTE: Be sure that the rails click into place and are secure. Repeat this procedure for the second rail. To remove each rail, pull on the latch release button on each flange ear and unseat each rail.
Figure 4. Two-post flush-mount installation Attach one rail to the front post flange with two user-supplied screws, item 2. Slide the plunger bracket forward against the vertical post and secure the plunger bracket to the post flange with two user-supplied screws, see item 3.
Figure 5. Two-post center-mount installation Slide the back bracket towards the post. Secure it to the post flange with two user-supplied screws, items 2 and 3. Repeat this procedure for the second rail. Four-post threaded installation NOTE: For more installation instructions, see the installation labels attached to the rail assembly. Remove the latch castings from each end of the ReadyRails assemblies.
For each rail, attach the front and back flanges to the post flanges with two user-supplied screws at each end. S4100-ON Series system installation You can mount the system in the 1U front-rack two-post, flush, or center configuration or a four-post configuration. The following is an example of a front-rack configuration: For the 1U two-post configurations, slide the system into the rails in the same manner as the four-post configurations.

Figure 7. Switch rail attachment After you install both rails, line them up on the ReadyRails. Slide the switch in until it is flush with the front of rack. About three inches before you fully insert your system, the rail locking feature engages to keep the switch from inadvertently sliding out and falling.
Optics installation For a list of supported optics, see the S4100–ON Series data sheet at www.dell.com/support or contact your Dell representative. CAUTION: ESD damage can occur if components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the S4100–ON Series and its components.
Dell recommends reinspecting your system before powering up. Verify the following: • The equipment is properly secured to the rack. Dell recommends properly grounding the switch. • The ambient temperature around the unit, which may be higher than the room temperature, is within the limits specified for the S4100–...
Specifications This section lists the S4100–ON Series system specifications. CAUTION: Operate the product at an ambient temperature not higher than 113°F—45°C. CAUTION: Lithium Battery Caution: There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with same or equivalent type of battery.
