Cooling
Plan the installation site for adequate ventilation:
• Leave a minimum of 30 cm (11.81 in) of clearance at the front and rear of the switch. (Perforated rack
doors are acceptable within the 30cm spacing.)
NOTE: Air flow into and out of the switch is indicated by the arrows in the image below.
• Ensure that the rack for the switch is well ventilated, with minimal airflow obstruction at the front and
rear.
• The installation site HVAC system must be capable of removing all heat generated by the switch.
• Verify that the airflow design of the chassis is compatible with the airflow design of the installation site.
