Installation location
Before installing the switch, plan its location and orientation relative to other devices and
equipment. For cooling purposes, allow a minimum of six inches of space between the sides, front,
and the back of the chassis and walls or other obstructions. If a chassis is installed within a
perforated enclosure, the perforations must have openings of at least 60 percent of the surface.
If you will be using a mechanical lift to move and install the chassis, make sure you allow enough
working room.
