Instead there are various heat-sinks inside the switch to conduct the heat from the components to the heavy-gauge aluminum case. The heat is then dissipated from the case via radiation to the surrounding air.
Otherwise, there is a risk of electrical shock if the rules and warnings in this manual are not properly adhered too. Power Overview The EL326 switches are offered with several power options including dual power supplies that can keep the switch running when there is a power input failure or internal power supply failure.
