NEBS-Compliant Air Filter

A Network Equipment-Building System (NEBS) compliant installation allows filtered, front-to-rear airflow.
To mount the chassis in a NEBS-compliant mode with the air filter, use a 23-inch rack mount. Filter brackets
that are mounted on the side of the chassis hold the air filter.
A 23-inch rack mount is used for mounting the switch in a standard 23 inch (58.4 cm) equipment rack with
two unobstructed outer posts. This kit is not suitable for racks with obstructions (such as a power strip) that
could impair access to the field-replaceable units (FRUs) of the switch.

• Place the chassis on the floor or on a sturdy table as close as possible to the rack. Leave enough clearance
• Open the rack-mount kit and verify that all parts are included.
Note
Some equipment racks provide a power strip along the length of one of the rear posts. If your rack has this
feature, consider the position of the strip when planning fastener points. Before installing the brackets on the
chassis, determine whether to install the chassis from the front or the rear of the rack.
