Positioning the Switch
Allow adequate ventilation
The switch contains two fans to air-cool the internal circuitry. The air
is drawn in from the left of the unit and expelled through the outlet
grills on the right side and the rear.
To ensure correct airflow, leave 100 mm (4 inches) free space on both
the sides and back of the of the switch. Do not allow the inlet or outlet
grills to become blocked.
On a desktop
To install the switch in a desktop environment:
1 Find the four rubber feet in the pack that contains the rack
mounting kit.
2
Remove the backing strip from each of the four feet.
3 Attach the four rubber feet to the underneath of the switch (to
ensure that the switch stands firmly).
4
Place the switch on a stable, flat surface.
5 Ensure that the air intake (on the left) and fan outlets (on the
right side and rear) are not blocked.
Warning
The switch’s lifetime and operational reliability
can be seriously degraded by inadequate cooling.
Rack requirements
The switch should be installed in a standard rack in accordance with
IEC 297 (or similar); if the minimum outside measurements of the
rack are 600 x 600 mm (23.5 x 23.5 inches), you must allow 190 mm
(7.5 inches) of space at the rear.
