Install Guide

The cabinet must be a minimum cabinet size. Airow must be according to the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) standard. Ensure that
there is a minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) between the intake and exhaust vents and the cabinet wall.
Rack mounting
When you prepare your equipment rack, ensure that the rack is earth ground.
Ground the equipment rack to the same ground point the power service in your area uses. The ground path must be permanent.
Grounding
Dell EMC recommends you ground your system. Use the S6000–ON in a common bond network (CBN).
Connect the grounding cables as described in Install the S6000-ON.
Fans and airow
The S6000–ON fans support two airow options.
Be sure to order the fans suitable to support your site’s ventilation. Use a single type of airow fan in your system. Do not mix reverse and
normal airows in a single S6000–ON chassis.
Fan combinations
The S6000-ON has stock keeping units (SKUs) that support the following congurations:
• AC PSU with fan airow from I/O to PSU
• AC PSU with fan airow from PSU to I/O
NOTE
: All fans and PSUs in a conguration must be in the same airow direction.
Installation of the fans is done as part of the factory install based on SKU type.
For proper ventilation, position the S6000-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 S6000-ON systems near each other, position the two chassis at least 5 inches (12.7 cm) apart to
permit proper airow. The fan speed increases when the internal temperature reaches 72°C and decreases to normal speed when the
temperature falls to 58°C. The S6000-ON never intentionally turns o the fans.
Power
To connect the chassis to the applicable power source, use the appropriate power cord with the S6000–ON. An AC power cord is included
with the system.
When installing AC systems, follow the requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 where applicable.
The system is powered-up as soon as the power cord is connected between the system and the power source.
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/
installed near the equipment and is easily accessible.
