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.
