1 About this guide This guide provides site preparation recommendations, step-by-step procedures for rack mounting and desk mounting, inserting modules, and connecting to a power source. CAUTION: To avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, wear grounding wrist straps when handling this equipment. NOTE: Only trained and qualified personnel can install this equipment. Read this guide before you install and power up this equipment. This equipment contains two power cords.
NOTE: The ESD Warning icon requires that you take electrostatic precautions when handling the device.
2 Site preparations The S4200-ON Series (S4248FB-ON and S4248FBL-ON) is suitable for installation as part of a common bond network (CBN). You can install the switch in: ● Network telecommunication facilities ● Data centers ● Other locations where the National Electric Code (NEC) applies For more information about the S4200-ON Series specifications, see Specifications. NOTE: Install the switch into a rack or cabinet before installing any optional components.
Rack mounting When you prepare your equipment rack, ensure that the rack is grounded. Ground the equipment rack to the same ground point the power service in your area uses. The ground path must be permanent. Switch ground Dell EMC recommends grounding your switch. Use the S4200-ON Series switch in a CBN. Fans and airflow Fan installation is done as part of the factory install based on stock keeping unit (SKU) type.
3 S4200-ON Series Installation To install the S4200-ON Series (S4248FB-ON and S4248FBL-ON), complete the installation procedures in the order presented in this section. Always handle the switch and its components with care. Avoid dropping the switch or any field replaceable units (FRUs). NOTE: ESD damage can occur if components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the switch and its components.
Rack or cabinet installation 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 ReadyRails system is provided for 1U front-rack and two-post installations. The ReadyRails system includes two separately packaged rail assemblies. To begin installation, separate each rail assembly by sliding the inside rail out of the outside rail.
Figure 2. Separate rails 1U Tool-less mount installation NOTE: For more installation instructions, see the installation labels attached to the rail assembly. 1. 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. The center extractions show how the pegs appear in both the square and nonthreaded round holes.
Figure 3. 1U tool-less installation 2. 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. 3. Repeat this procedure for the second rail. 4. To remove each rail, pull on the latch release button on each flange ear and unseat each rail. Two-post flush-mount installation NOTE: For more installation instructions, see the installation labels attached to the rail assembly. 1.
Figure 4. Two-post flush-mount installation 2. Attach one rail to the front post flange with two user-supplied screws, item 2. 3. Slide the plunger bracket forward against the vertical post and secure the plunger bracket to the post flange with two user-supplied screws, item 3. 4. Repeat this procedure for the second rail. Two-post center-mount installation NOTE: For more installation instructions, see the installation labels attached to the rail assembly. 1.
Figure 5. Two-post center-mount installation 2. Slide the back bracket towards the post. Secure it to the post flange with two user-supplied screws, items 2 and 3. 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. 1. Remove the latch castings from each end of the ReadyRails assemblies. To remove the two screws each latch casting, use a Torx driver.
Figure 6. Four-post threaded installation 2. For each rail, attach the front and back flanges to the post flanges with two user-supplied screws at each end. S4200-ON Series switch installation For the 1U two-post configurations, slide the switch into the rails in the same manner as the four-post configurations. 1U front-rack installation Configure the rails that are attached to the switch. 1. NOTE: For more information, see the installation instruction labels on the rail.
Figure 7. Switch rail attachment 2. 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 switch, the rail locking feature engages to keep the switch from inadvertently sliding out and falling. Figure 8.
NOTE: Do not the use the mounted Ready-Rails as a shelf or a workplace. 3. Tighten the two thumb screws and rack screws. To remove the chassis from the rack or cabinet, press in the two side-release bars on the chassis at the same time and slide the chassis forward. Optics installation WARNING: When working with optical fibers, follow all warning labels and always wear eye protection. Never look directly into the end of a terminated or unterminated fiber or connector as it may cause eye damage. 1.
