General Installation Recommendations
Cooling Recommendations
The switches are cooled by natural air convection, no forced air is required.
Air Convection Over Heat Sinks
Reduced Air Flow
Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe
operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Elevated Operating Ambient Temperatures
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environ-
ment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equip-
ment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the
manufacturer.
See table below for recommended clearance
above the chassis.
