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.
System ground
Dell recommends grounding your system. Use the S6100–ON in a common bond network (CBN).
Connect the grounding cables as described in
Fans and airflow
The S6100–ON fans support two airflow options: normal and reverse.
Fan combinations
The S6100-ON has stock keeping units (SKUs) that support the following configurations. Installation of the fans is done as part
of the factory install based on SKU type.
● AC or DC PSU with fan airflow from the I/O to the PSU
● AC or DC PSU with fan airflow from the PSU to the I/O
Be sure to order the fans suitable to support your site's ventilation. Use a single type of airflow fan in your system. Do not mix
reverse and normal airflows in a single S6100–ON chassis.
For proper ventilation, position the S6100-ON in an equipment rack or cabinet with a minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) of
clearance around the exhaust vents. When you install two S6100-ON systems near each other, to permit proper airflow,
position the two chassis at least 5 inches (12.7 cm) apart. The fan speed increases when the internal temperature reaches
161.6°F (72°C). The fan speed decreases to normal speed when the temperature falls to 136.4°F (58°C). The S6100-ON never
intentionally turns off the fans.
Power
To connect the chassis to the applicable power source, use the appropriate power cord with the S6100–ON. An AC or DC
power cord is included with the system.
When installing AC or DC systems, follow the requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 where applicable.
CAUTION:
Always disconnect the power cable before you service the power supply slots.
CAUTION:
Use the power supply cord as the main disconnect device on the AC system. Ensure that the socket-
outlet is located and installed near the equipment and is easily accessible.
The system is powered-up when the power cord is connected between the system and the power source.
NOTE:
Module power is software controlled. You do not see module LEDs when the system powers up in ONIE.
Storing components
If you do not install your S6100–ON and components immediately, properly store the system and all optional components by
following these guidelines:
● Storage location temperature must remain constant. The storage range is from -40° to 158°F (-40°C to 70°C).
● Store on a dry surface or floor, away from direct sunlight, heat, and air conditioning ducts.
● Store in a dust-free environment.
