Miscellaneous Operating
Considerations
• No heat sources such as hot air vents or direct sunlight near the
switch.
• No sources of severe electromagnetic interference near the switch.
• No excessive dust in the environment.
• An adequate power source is within 6 feet (1.83 meters) of the switch.
One 15-amp circuit is required for each power supply.
• At least 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) of clearance on each side of the
switch unit for ventilation.
• Adequate clearance at the front and rear of the switch for access to
cables.
Warning:
To avoid bodily injury from hazardous electrical shock and current, never remove the top of the
device. No user-serviceable components are inside. For a translation of this statement, see
Translations of safety messages on page 39.
Airflow direction
The airflow direction in the VSP 4450GTX-HT-PWR+ for the top half of the switch, where the
components exist, is from left to right (as viewed from the front). Cool air enters the chassis through
an air inlet at the left of the chassis, which cools the device. Warm air exits through the exhaust at
the right.
The airflow direction for the bottom half of the VSP 4450GTX-HT-PWR+, where the power supplies
exist, is from front to back. The chassis draws in cool air from the front of the chassis, and hot air
exits at the rear.
