Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation
Site Requirements
• Plan ahead. Your Catalyst 6500 series switches currently installed in an enclosed or partially
enclosed rack might meet ambient air temperature and air flow requirements now. However, if you
add more chassis to the rack or you add more modules to a chassis in the rack, the additional heat
generated might cause the ambient air temperature within the rack to exceed 40°C (104°F) and can
cause minor alarms.
If an individual fan within the assembly fails, the FAN STATUS LED turns red. Individual fans cannot
be replaced. To replace a fan assembly, see the “Removing and Installing the Fan Assembly” section on
page 4-57.
Refer to your software configuration guide for information on environmental monitoring.
