Preparation
2.1
Site Selection
The following criteria should be considered when selecting a site to install the switch:
Floor Space:
Install the switch in an area that provides adequate clearance for removing front and rear
components.
displays switch clearance requirements.
Figure 2-1: Switch Component Removal Footprint
shows the clearance dimensions for the modular switch.
•
Temperature and Ventilation:
For proper ventilation, install the switch where there is ample
airflow to the front and back of the switch. The temperature should not go below 0° or exceed 40°C.
Important!
To prevent the switch from overheating, do not operate it in an area where the ambient temperature
exceeds 40°C (104°F).
Pour empêcher l'interrupteur de surchauffe, ne pas utiliser il dans une zone où la température ambiante
est supérieure à 40°C (104°F).
•
Airflow Orientation:
Determine airflow direction of the fan modules and power supply modules.
Fan and power supply module handles indicate airflow direction.
Note
All power supplies may not be supported by the switch configuration you have.
