Installing the 9Cx14 Chassis
Site Guidelines
The following guidelines must be followed to select a suitable site for the
SmartSwitch 9000. If not, unsatisfactory network performance may result.
The site must have an unrestricted free surface area around the SmartSwitch 9000
chassis, allowing for free movement of air. An open space of at least 84 high by
63.5 wide by 81.24 centimeters deep (33 high by 25 wide by 32 inches deep) is the
minimum recommended. If the unit is installed in an enclosed equipment cabinet,
the cabinet should have a built-in cooling fan.The maximum theoretical heat
dissipation of the SmartSwitch 9000 is 8700 BTUs per hour. Actual heat
dissipation will vary depending on the modules installed in the SmartSwitch 9000
chassis. The temperature of the location must be maintained between 5° and 40°C
(40° and 104°F). Changes in temperature greater than 10°C (18°F) per hour should
not occur.
A standard 3-prong power receptacle must be located within 6 feet of the system.
One circuit is recommended for each power supply. The AC wiring for the
receptacle must be able to supply 12 amps at 120 volts or 6 amps at 220 volts.
