Switches
Note
.
Never obstruct the air intake or exhaust vents located on the chassis. Obstructing these vents can
cause switch failure. Always follow the recommended clearance values.
General Mounting Recommendations
Be sure that your switch is placed in a well-ventilated, static-free environment. Always allow adequate
clearance at the front, rear, top, and sides of the switch. Refer the table below for detailed information on
recommended chassis clearances.
Recommended Clearances
The following table shows the recommended minimum clearances for adequate chassis airflow and access
to cabling and components at the front and rear of the chassis.
Note.
Clearance recommendations at the front and rear of chassis are for access to cabling and
components only and are not intended as a specific airflow requirement. If a redundant power supply is to
be attached directly to the rear of the switch chassis (see
page 3-13
), additional clearance will be required
to accommodate the power supply tray.
