Chassis Physical Specifications of an EX6210 Switch on page 9
When planning the site for installing an EX6210 switch, you must allow sufficient clearance
around the switch.
For the cooling system to function properly, the airflow around the chassis must be
unrestricted. See Figure 33 on page

If you are mounting the switch on a rack or cabinet along with other equipment, ensure
that the exhaust from other equipment does not blow into the intake vents of the
chassis.
Leave at least 24 in. (61 cm) both in front of and behind the switch. Leave adequate
space at the front of the switch for service personnel to remove and install hardware
components. NEBS GR-63 recommends that you allow at least 30 in. (76.2 cm) in
front of the rack or cabinet and 24 in. (61 cm) behind the rack or cabinet. See
Figure 34 on page 102.
