• Clearance is required for cables that connect to as many as 384 ports (in addition to the cabling required
for other devices in the same rack). These cables must not block access to any removable chassis modules
or block airflow into or out of the chassis. Route the cables through the cable management frames on the
left and right sides of the chassis.
Also, you must have power receptacles that are located within reach of the power cords that are used with the
switch.
Statement 1048—Rack Stabilization
The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the rack must be bolted to the floor before installation
or servicing. Failure to stabilize the rack can cause bodily injury.
Warning
