Installation Guide
General Information
Effectively Cool Network Switches
In order to provide the best containment of hot and cold
air in the data center it is important to channel cool air
through Top-of-Rack (TORS) network switches. The HotLok
SwitchFix channels cooling air to switch inlets, and also
prevents exhaust air from recirculating to the switch inlets,
thus improving switch reliability and airflow management.
Data center energy efficiency and switch lifetime can also be
improved.
Maintaining Proper Cooling of Equipment
Failure to follow computer manufacturer’s guidelines for
maintaining proper cooling may result in the overheating
of equipment. Before installing the SwitchFix, ensure that
there is adequate airflow to the intake side of the computer
equipment or cabinets through devices such as perforated
floor tiles or grates. Delivering proper airflow to the
intake side of computer equipment and/or cabinets is the
responsibility of the customer.
Safety Requirements
Installers must be familiar with standard safety and risk
management practices when working on server rack
equipment or in data center environments.
