Overview of Racks

You can install the switch in the following types of cabinets and racks, assuming an external ambient air
temperature range of 0 to 104°F (0 to 40°C):

Standard perforated cabinets

Solid-walled cabinets with a roof fan tray (bottom to top cooling)

Standard open racks

If you are selecting an enclosed cabinet, we recommend one of the thermally validated types, either standard
perforated or solid-walled with a fan tray.

Note

We do not recommend that you use racks that have obstructions (such as power strips), because the
obstructions could impair access to field-replaceable units (FRUs).

Note

General Requirements for Cabinets and Racks

The cabinet or rack must also meet the following requirements:
