Airflow Considerations
To ensure proper airflow, be sure that the switch is placed in a well-ventilated area and provide
minimum recommended clearance at the front, back and sides of the switch.
Never obstruct chassis or component air vents. Restricted airflow can cause the switch to overheat,
which can lead to system failure and damage to the product.
Note. Clearance is not required at the top and bottom of the chassis.
Blank Cover Panels
Blank cover panels are used to cover empty module slots and power supply bays. Because they regulate
airflow and help protect internal chassis components, blank cover panels should be installed over empty
module slots and power supply bays at all times.
