Note To maintain proper air circulation through the Catalyst switch
chassis, we recommend that you maintain a minimum 6-inch
(15 cm) separation between a wall and the chassis air intake or
a wall and the chassis air exhaust. You should also allow a
minimum separation of 12 inches (30.5 cm) between the hot air
exhaust on one chassis and the air intake on another chassis.
Failure to maintain adequate air space can cause the chassis to
overheat and the system to fail. On Catalyst chassis in which the
airflow is from front to back, the chassis may be placed
side-by-side.
