Airflow Recommendations
The OmniSwitch 6400 draws air from intake vents located in the left chassis panel and exhausts air via fan
vents located in the right chassis panel.
For each switch, air is directed horizontally through the chassis, where it passes over the circuit board and
provides necessary cooling for internal components. Refer to the diagram below for more information.
1. Air Intake.
The chassis fans pull air
from the main air intake vents located in
the left-hand panel of the chassis.
2. Airflow.
The air from the intake
vent is directed through the chassis
past the circuit board. This airflow
provides required cooling for
chassis components.
3. Air Exhaust.
The airflow
is exhausted through the fan
exhaust vents at the right-
hand side of the chassis.
