Install Guide

Power up sequence
When the switch powers up, the fans immediately come on at high speed. The fan speed slows as the switch continues to boot
up.
After switch installation
To configure your switch, after you have securely installed and powered on the S4200-ON Series switch, see your open network
installation environment (ONIE)-compatible operating system documentation at http://onie.org. For more information about
working with the ONIE environment, see your switch documentation at www.dell.com/support.
Switch replacement
The following steps describe removing and replacing a switch. For further assistance when replacing a switch, contact your Dell

NOTE: ESD damage can occur when components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground
strap when handling the switch and accessories. After you remove the original packaging, place the switch and components
on an anti-static surface.
