Switch Cooling Requirements
Wherever the switch is located, be sure to pay close attention to switch cooling
requirements. The location should be well ventilated and provide unrestricted
airflow at the front, back, and sides of the switch. If the airflow is insufficient, it may
cause the switch to overheat and possibly fail.
The ECS2100-28P switch is equipped with one cooling fan and the ECS2100-28PP
switch is equipped with three cooling fans. The following figure shows the cool air
intake and the hot air exhaust airflow into and from the switch.

The ECS2100-10T, ECS2100-10P, ECS2100-10PE, and ECS2100-28T use a fanless
cooling design. The following figure shows the convective airflow from the switch.
