Chapter , Switch Specifications, on page 47

NOTE:

Install the switch into a rack or cabinet before installing any optional components.

Site Selection

Make sure that the area where you install your switch meets the following safety requirements:

•

Near an adequate power source. Connect the system to the appropriate branch circuit protection as
defined by your local electrical codes. See cautions in

Information Symbols and Warnings on page 5

•

Environmental temperature between 32° – 122°F (0° – 50°C).

•

Relative humidity that does not exceed 85% non-condensing.

•

In a dry, clean, well-ventilated and temperature-controlled room, away from heat sources such as hot air
vents or direct sunlight.

•

Away from sources of severe electromagnetic noise.

•

Positioned in a rack, cabinet, or on a desktop with adequate space in the front, rear, and sides of the unit
for proper ventilation, and access.

Cabinet Placement

The cabinet must meet the following criteria:

•

Minimum cabinet size and airflow are according to the EIA standard.

•

Minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) between the side intake and exhaust vents and the cabinet wall.
