♦ The system fans are used to dissipate heat. The sides of
the system also provide heat vents to serve the same
purpose. Do not block these openings, and leave
adequate 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.

Stack Operation

The DES-3624i and the DES-3624iF are intelligent Switches
capable of acting as a master for up to three client Switches
(DES-3624 and DES-3624F). Each port is referred to by unit
ID and port number in your DES-3624 Series stack.
To set up a stack, a one-port Stacking input/output module
is needed for each client Switch and a three-port Stacking
input/output module is needed for the master Switch. Once
the modules have been installed, use a cascade cable to
connect each client Switch to the master Switch.
