Switch Cooling Requirements
– 24 –
Rack Cooling When mounting the switch in an enclosed rack or cabinet, be sure to check the
following guidelines to prevent overheating:
◆ Make sure that enough cool air can flow into the enclosure for the equipment it
contains.
◆ Check that the rack or cabinet allows the hot air to exit the enclosure (normally
from the top) without circulating back into equipment.
◆ If the enclosure has sides or doors with ventilation holes, make sure they are
not blocked by cables or other obstructions.
◆ Route cables within the rack or cabinet to maximize the air flow.
◆ When possible, do not completely fill the rack or cabinet with equipment, allow
some unused space within the enclosure for better air flow.
