Installation guide

S60 Quick Start Guide 5
Install chassis into rack or cabinet
Ensure that there is adequate clearance surrounding the rack or within the cabinet to permit access and
airflow. If you are installing two S60 switches side-by-side, position the two chassis at least 5 inches (12.7
cm) apart to permit proper airflow. Follow the steps below to install a switch into a two-post 19-inch
equipment rack, using the already attached mounting brackets.
Attach ground cable
The S60 is shipped with 2 10-32 screws for attaching a ground cable to the chassis. The cable itself is not
included. Force10 recommends a 6AWG two-hole lug, #10 hole size, .63" spacing (not included in
shipping) to properly ground the chassis. The two-hole lug must be a UL recognized, crimp-type lug.
Follow these steps to connect the ground cable to the chassis:
Step Task
1 It is recommended that one person hold the S60 chassis in place while another attaches the brackets
to the posts.
2 Attach the bracket “ears” to the rack or cabinet posts, using two screws for each bracket. Ensure the
screws are tightened firmly.
Caution: Grounding conductors must be made of copper. Do not use aluminum conductors .
Step Task
1 Take the (2) 10-32 screws from the package.
