Item or Task
Plan rack or cabinet location, including required
space clearances.
Secure the rack or cabinet to the floor and
building structure.
Cables
Acquire cables and connectors:
Determine the number of cables needed
based on your planned configuration.
Review the maximum distance allowed for
each cable. Choose the length of cable based
on the distance between the hardware
components being connected.
Plan the cable routing and management.

The switch must be installed in a rack or cabinet. It must be housed in a dry, clean,
well-ventilated, and temperature-controlled environment.
Follow these environmental guidelines:
The site must be as dust-free as possible, because dust can clog air intake vents and
filters, reducing the efficiency of the switch cooling system.
Maintain ambient airflow for normal switch operation. If the airflow is blocked or
restricted, or if the intake air is too warm, the switch might overheat, leading to the
switch temperature monitor shutting down the device to protect the hardware
components.
Table 17 on page 32 provides the required environmental conditions for normal switch
operation.
