3-7 Rack Configuration
The SSE-X3648S/SSE-X3648SR switches are designed to be mounted on a standard
nineteen inch rack – please ensure good ventilation for the rack.
• Every device in the rack will generate heat during operation, therefore venting and
fans must be provided for an enclosed rack, and devices should not be stacked
closely.
• When mounting devices in an open rack, care should be taken to prevent the rack
frame from obstructing the switch ventilation openings. Be sure to check the
positioning of the switch after installation to avoid the aforementioned.
Caution! If a standard nineteen inch rack is not available, the SSE-X3648S/SSE-X3648SR
switches can be placed on a clean level desktop; leave a clearance of 100mm around the
switch for ventilation, and do not place anything on top of the switch.
