Airflow Recommendations
Air flow for the OS6855-24 switch differs slightly from the air flow for OS6855-U24 switches. The
OS6855-24 draws air from intake vents located in the front and right chassis panels and exhausts air via
fan vents located in the left chassis panel. The OS6855-24 draws air from an intake vent located in the top
panel and exhausts air via louvered vents located at the top-rear of the switch.
For each switch, air is directed horizontally through the chassis, where it passes over the circuit board and
provides necessary cooling for internal components. Refer to the diagrams below for more information.
1. Air Intake. The chassis fans pull air
from the main air intake vents located in
the left-hand panel of the chassis.
Air is also pulled in through an intake vent
in the chassis front panel.
2. Airflow. The air from the intake
vent is directed through the chassis
past the circuit board. This airflow
provides required cooling for
chassis components.
3. Air Exhaust. The airflow
is exhausted through the fan
exhaust vents at the right-
hand side of the chassis.
