Storing components Site selection Install Dell equipment in restricted access areas. A restricted access area is one where service personnel can only gain access using a special tool, lock, key, or other means of security. The authority responsible for the location controls access to the restricted area.
Dell Technologies recommends grounding your switch. Use the S4100–ON Series switch in a CBN. NOTE: For AC-powered switches, although the third conductor of the AC power cable provides a ground path, Dell Technologies recommends grounding your switch with a dedicated ground wire.
NOTE: You do not see module LEDs when the switch powers up in ONIE as the software controls the modules. Storing components If you do not install your S4100–ON Series (S4128F-ON, S4148F-ON, S4148FE-ON, S4128T-ON, S4148T-ON, and S4148U-ON) switch and components immediately, properly store the switch and all optional components following these guidelines: ●...

Rack or cabinet installation You may either place the switch on a rack shelf or mount the switch directly into a 19" wide, EIA-310- E-compliant rack. Rack mounting includes four-post, two-post, round threaded holes, or square holes. The ReadyRails system is provided for 1U front-rack and two-post installations.
Figure 16. Separate rails 1U Tool-less mount installation NOTE: For more installation instructions, see the installation labels attached to the rail assembly. 1. Face the ReadyRails flange ears facing outward. Place one rail between the left and right vertical posts. Align and seat the back flange rail pegs in the back vertical post flange.
2. Align and seat the front flange pegs in the holes on the front side of the vertical post. NOTE: Be sure that the rails click into place and are secure. 3. Repeat this procedure for the second rail. 4. To remove each rail, pull on the latch release button on each flange ear and unseat each rail. Two-post flush-mount installation NOTE: For more installation instructions, see the installation labels attached to the rail assembly.
Figure 19. Two-post center-mount installation 2. Slide the back bracket towards the post. Secure it to the post flange with two user-supplied screws, items 2 and 3. 3. Repeat this procedure for the second rail. Four-post threaded installation NOTE: For more installation instructions, see the installation labels attached to the rail assembly. 1.
Figure 20. Four-post threaded installation 2. For each rail, attach the front and back flanges to the post flanges with two user-supplied screws at each end. S4100-ON Series installation You can mount the switch in the 1U front-rack two-post, flush or center configuration, or a four-post configuration. The following is an example of a front-rack configuration: For the 1U two-post configurations, slide the switch into the rails in the same manner as the four-post configurations.

Figure 21. Switch rail attachment 2. After you install both rails, line them up on the ReadyRails. Slide the switch in until it is flush with the front of rack. About three inches before you fully insert your switch, the rail locking feature engages to keep the switch from inadvertently sliding out and falling.
The S4100-ON Series (S4128F-ON, S4148F-ON, S4148FE-ON, S4128T-ON, S4148T-ON, and S4148U-ON) switch has the following optic configurations: NOTE: For the S4148U-ON, for the best optics performance, upgrade the Dell software to 10.4(0.0) or higher.

If necessary, to upgrade your software or firmware images, go to the Drivers and Downloads page for your switch 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 support representative. CAUTION: ESD damage can occur when components are mishandled.

2. Disconnect the power source. 3. Label and remove all cables. 4. Remove the switch from the rack. Simultaneously, press in the two side-release bars on the switch and slide the switch forward. If you are using the fan trays or PSUs in the replacement switch, remove them from the switch. 5.
Power supplies The S4100–ON Series (S4128F-ON, S4148F-ON, S4148FE-ON, S4128T-ON, S4148T-ON, and S4148U-ON) switch ships with two AC or DC power supplies. The power supplies have two air-flow directions, normal and reverse. Normal is from the I/O-side to the PSU-side. Reverse is from the PSU-side to the I/O-side.
NOTE: If you use a single PSU, install a blank plate in the other PSU slot. If you are only using one power supply, Dell Technologies recommends installing the power supply in the first slot, PSU1. Install a blank plate in the second slot, PSU2.
NOTE: If you use a single PSU, install a blank plate in the other PSU slot. If you are only using one power supply, Dell Technologies recommends installing the power supply in the first slot, PSU1. Install a blank plate in the second slot, PSU2.
Fans The S4100–ON Series (S4128F-ON, S4148F-ON, S4148FE-ON, S4128T-ON, S4148T-ON, and S4148U-ON) switch comes from the factory with two PSUs and four fan modules installed in the chassis. The fan modules and the power supplies are hot- swappable. In addition to the power supply modules, you can order and install fan modules separately. NOTE: The S4100–ON Series switch supports two airflow direction options—normal and reverse.
Figure 27. S4100–ON Series fan modules installation 1. Fan unit Fan module replacement To request a hardware replacement, see Dell support. CAUTION: Complete the following steps within one minute or the switch temperature could rise above safe thresholds and the switch could shut down: 1.
Management ports Besides the 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 ports, the S4100–ON Series (S4128F-ON, S4148F-ON, S4148FE-ON, S4128T-ON, S4148T-ON, and S4148U-ON) switch provides several ports for management and storage.
