Site Selection
Dell Force10 Networks’ equipment is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted
access area is one in which access can only be gained by service personnel through the use of a special
tool, lock, key or other means of security and access is controlled by the authority responsible for the
location.
Ensure that the area where you install your S4810 system meets the following safety requirements:
• Near an adequate power source. Connect the system to the appropriate branch circuit protection as
defined by your local electrical codes.
• Environmental temperature between 32° to 104°F (0° to 40°C).
• Relative humidity that does not exceed 85% non-condensing.
• In a dry, clean, well-ventilated and temperature-controlled room, away from heat sources such as hot air
vents or direct sunlight.
• Away from sources of severe electromagnetic noise.
• Positioned in a rack or cabinet, or on a desktop with adequate space in the front, rear, and sides of the
S4810 for proper ventilation and access.
