Requirements
•
Adequate supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size, as specified by the electrical rating on the switch
nameplate
•
Circuit protected by a circuit breaker and grounded in accordance with local electrical codes
See the technical specifications at the end of this guide for complete power supply specifications.
•
A minimum airflow of 79.8 cubic meters/hour (47 cubic ft/min.) available in the immediate vicinity of
the switch
NOTE
Although this airflow may exceed the airflow maximum listed in the device technical
specifications, the additional airflow is recommended to pressurize the inlet (cool isle) side
of rack installations relative to the exhaust side to minimize recirculation of hot air back to
the inlet side.
•
Ambient air temperature not exceeding 40°C (104°F) while the switch is operating
•
One rack unit (1U) in a 48.3 cm (19-in.) rack
•
All equipment in the rack grounded through a reliable branch circuit connection
•
Additional weight of the switch not to exceed the rack's weight limits
•
Rack secured to ensure stability in case of unexpected movement
