2.10 Noise of the Switch
With the exception of models AX2230S-24T, AX1250S-24T2C, and AX1240S-24T2C,
Switches contain cooling fans that generate noise. Take noise into account when planning
the switch installation layout.
For details about the noise from the switch, see
2.2 Installation conditions.
The following tips are for a layout design that takes noise into account:
 Separate the area by using partitions or shelves to block the direct propagation
of noise.
 Do not install the Switch in frequently used areas (such as in offices, in meeting
rooms, or on desks).
 Install the Switch in a corner of the office area.
 Install the Switch in a rack.
 Avoid installation near windows or other objects that easily reflect sound.
