Airflow Precautions
Caution -
Proper airflow is essential for keeping the switch's internal temperatures within a safe
operating range.
Air flows from the front (fan end) of the switch to the rear (connector end) of the switch.
Follow these guidelines to ensure unrestricted airflow in the switch:
■
Install the switch so that the front faces the cool aisle and the rear faces the warm aisle.
■
Do not direct warm air into the switch.
■
Prevent recirculation of air within a rack or cabinet.
■
Ensure that either a module or a filler panel is in place while the switch is operating.
■
Route cables so that they do not interfere with airflow.
