Data Center Deployment

–  15  –

When mounted in a rack with other network equipment that may have a back-to-
front (B2F) airflow direction, the top-of-rack switch includes two fan trays that 
reverse the airflow direction through the switch. This enables flexible deployment 
options for the switch in the data center.
