1.5 Positioning and Installing the Switch
1.5.1 Allow Adequate Ventilation
The switch contains two fans to air-cool the internal circuitry. The air is drawn in from the left
of the unit and expelled through the outlet grills on the right side and the rear.
To ensure correct airflow, leave 100 mm (4 inches) free space on both sides and behind the
switch. Do not allow the intake or outlet grills to become blocked.
1.5.2 On a Desktop
To install the switch in a desktop environment:
1. Find the four rubber feet in the pack that contains the rack mounting kit.
2. Remove the backing strip from each of the four feet.
3. Attach the four rubber feet to the underside of the switch (to ensure that the switch
stands firmly).
4. Place the switch on a stable, flat surface.
5. Ensure that the air intake (on the left) and fan outlets (on the right side and rear)
are not blocked.
WARNING!
The switch’s lifetime and operational reliability
can be seriously degraded by inadequate
cooling.
