Side Panel Description

Located on the side panels of the switch are heat and fan vents that are used to dissipate heat. Do not block these
openings. Leave at least 4 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 or even severely damage components.
