Site Guidelines - Cabletron Systems 7C04 Workgroup SmartSWITCH User Manual

If the frame's entry is not found in the connection table, a request is
sent to the system's Virtual Network Services (VNS). The VNS
checks its virtual routing tables and policy sections. If the frame's
information appears in the VNS' virtual routing tables and the
VNS' policy section contains an entry that verifies that the frame's
source and the frame's destination are a valid combination, then
the frame is forwarded to its destination via the chassis'
SmartSwitch Bus, and a corresponding entry is written to the
receiving module's connection table. Otherwise, the frame is
dropped.

1.4 SITE GUIDELINES

When choosing a location for the 7C04 Chassis, the following
guidelines must be followed to ensure satisfactory network
performance.
• An unrestricted free surface area of 43.2 cm. (17 in.) wide,
34.8 cm. (13.7 in.) deep and 16 cm. (6.3 in.) high must be
available for the enclosure.
• If the chassis is to be placed on a shelf, the shelf must be capable
of supporting 13.5 kg. (30 pounds) of static weight.
• If the chassis is to be rack mounted, care must be taken to ensure
that the rack used will support the chassis and that the rack will
remain stable with the chassis inserted. In order to allow proper
cooling within the rack, there must be 7.6 cm. (3 in.) of clearance
above the unit and 5 cm. (2 in.) of clearance on either side of the
chassis in addition to the unrestricted free surface area
previously detailed.
• A standard three-prong power receptacle must be located within
21.13 meters (7 feet) of the chassis.
• The temperature of the location surrounding the chassis must be
maintained between 5 and 40 C (41 to 104 F). Temperature
changes of greater than 10 C (18 F) per hour must not occur.
