Environmental Requirements

OmniSwitch 8800 switches have the following environmental
and airflow requirements:
The installation site must maintain a temperature
•
between 0° and 45° Celsius (32° and 122° Fahrenheit)
and not exceed 95 percent maximum humidity
(noncondensing) at any time.
Be sure to allow adequate room for proper air ventila-
•
tion at the front, back, and sides of the switch. Refer to
"Mounting the Switch" on page 7
ance requirements. No clearance is necessary at the top

Electrical Requirements

OmniSwitch 8800 switches have the following general electri-
cal requirements:
Each switch requires one grounded AC outlet for each
•
power supply (up to four) installed in the chassis.
OmniSwitch 8800 switches offer both AC and DC
power supply support. Refer to the OmniSwitch 8800
Hardware Users Guide for more information.
For switches using AC power connections, each
•
supplied AC power cord is 2 meters (approximately
6.5 feet) long. Do not use extension cords.
Caution. In North America, OmniSwitch 8800 power
supplies require 220 Volt power cords connected to 220
Volt power receptacles. Do not use 110 Volt power cords
or receptacles.
Redundant AC Power. If possible, it is recommended
that each AC outlet resides on a separate circuit. With
redundant AC, if a single circuit fails, the switch's remain-
ing power supplies (on separate circuits) will likely be
unaffected and can therefore continue operating.
