Site Preparation
Environmental Requirements
OmniSwitch 6800 Series switches have the following environ-
mental 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 page 5 for minimum clearance
requirements.
Electrical Requirements
OmniSwitch 6800 Series switches have the following general
electrical requirements:
• Each switch requires one grounded AC power source.
• Grounded AC power source must be 110V for North
American installations (220V international).
• Each supplied AC power cord is approximately 2
meters (6.5 feet) long. Do not use extension cords.

(6.30 Kg). A stack of eight OS6800 switches weighs
approximately 111 lbs (50.4 Kgs).
