• Only one device in a rack is extended at a time. A rack may become unstable if more than one device
is extended.
CAUTION:
• For proper airflow, the SFP+ media side (port side) of the device must face the front of the rack.
Mounting the switch in this direction allows air to enter from the front of the rack (SFP-port side of
switch) and exhaust through the back of the rack (power-supply side of switch). This prevents
overheating, which may cause equipment in the rack to fail.
• Allow a minimum of 63.5 cm (25 in.) clearance in front of the rack to allow the doors to open fully, and
76.2 cm (30 in.) in back of the rack to allow for servicing and airflow.
• If the device is mounted in a closed rack or there are multiple rack-mounted devices, make sure that the
operating temperature inside the rack enclosure does not exceed the maximum rated ambient
temperature.
• Multiple rack-mounted devices connected to the same AC supply circuit may overload that circuit or the
AC supply wiring. Consider the power source capacity and the total power usage of all switches on the
circuit.
• Reliable grounding in the rack must be maintained.
