Site Preparation
Environmental Requirements
OmniSwitch 6600 Family switches have the following envi-
ronmental and airflow requirements:
• The installation site must maintain a temperature
between 0° and 45° Celsius (32° and 122° Fahrenheit)
and not exceed 95 percent maximum humidity (non-
condensing) at any time.
• Be sure to allow adequate room for proper air ventila-
tion and access at the front, back, and sides of the
switch. No clearance is necessary at the top or bottom
of the chassis. Refer to “Airflow Considerations” on
page 9 for minimum clearance requirements.
Electrical Requirements
OmniSwitch 6600 Family switches have the following general
electrical requirements:
• Each switch requires one grounded AC power source
for each power supply installed in the chassis .
• Grounded AC power source must be 110V for North
American installations (220V international).
• Each supplied AC power cord is 2 meters (approxi-
mately 6.5 feet) long. Do not use extension cords.
Redundant Circuit Recommendation. If possible, it is
recommended that the primary and back up power
supplies are plugged into AC sources on separate circuits.
With redundant AC, if a single circuit fails, the switch’s
back up power supply (on a separate circuit) will likely be
unaffected and can therefore continue operating.
