The right side panel of the Switch contains two system fans (see the top part of the diagram below). The left side panel
contains heat vents.
Figure 3 - 3. Side panel views of the Switch
The system fans are used to dissipate heat. The sides of the system also provide heat vents to serve the same purpose. Do not
block these openings, and leave at least 6 inches of space at the rear and sides of the Switch for proper ventilation. Be
reminded that without proper heat dissipation and air circulation, system components might overheat, which could lead to
system failure.
