Chassis Clearances
place of the standard front-mount bracket, you must add 5.7 inches (14.4 cm) to the front clearance in
front of the mounting rails on the rack. For cabinet installations, we recommend a right-side clearance
of 11 inches (27.9 cm) between the switch and the inside of the cabinet. For rack installations, we
recommend a right-side clearance of either 6 inches (15.2 cm) between racks or 11 inches (27.9 cm)
between the chassis and a wall. The rear of the chassis must be unobstructed and open to the hot aisle in
back of the switch for airflow exhaust. Figure A-14 shows the required clearances for a chassis in a
four-post rack with a front-mount installation. Figure A-15 on page A-24 shows the required clearances
for a chassis in a two-post rack with a front-mount installation. Figure A-16 on page A-25 shows the
required clearances for chassis in a two-post rack with a center-mount installation.
