want to install.
Rack or Cabinet
• Rack Requirements on page 35
• Cabinet Requirements on page 36
Verify that your rack or cabinet meets the
minimum requirements for the installation of
the switch.
“Clearance Requirements for Airflow
and Hardware Maintenance for
OCX1100 Switches” on page 37 Plan rack or cabinet location, including required
space clearances.
Secure the rack or cabinet to the floor and
building structure.
Cables
Acquire cables and connectors:
• Determine the number of cables needed

Environmental Requirements and Specifications for OCX1100 Switches
The switch must be installed in a rack or cabinet housed in a dry, clean, well-ventilated,
and temperature-controlled environment.
Ensure that these environmental guidelines are followed:
•
The site must be as dust-free as possible, because dust can clog air intake vents and
filters, reducing the efficiency of the switch cooling system.
• Maintain ambient airflow for normal switch operation. If the airflow is blocked or
restricted, or if the intake air is too warm, the switch might overheat, leading to the
switch temperature monitor shutting down the switch to protect the hardware
components.
