Note:
Ensure a clearance of 1U (44.45 mm or 1.75 inches) between devices for the purpose
of heat dissipation.
3.2 Mounting the Switch on a Workbench
In many cases, standard 19-inch cabinets are not available. Therefore, switches are
often placed on clean workbenches. To place the switch on a workbench, you simply
need to:
Make sure that the workbench is clean, flat, and sturdy.
Ensure good ventilation and a space of 10 cm (3.9 in.) around the chassis for heat
dissipation.
Do not place heavy objects on the switch.
In the case of stack application, the vertical distance between two switches must
be at least 1.5 cm (0.59 in).
