Switch Chassis

The SSE-X3348T/SSE-X3348TR switch is designed to be installed in a standard
19-inch equipment rack. Be sure to take into account switch cooling requirements.
Before continuing with switch installation, first review the general guidelines and switch
cooling requirements in this chapter.

General Installation Guidelines

Be sure to follow the guidelines below when choosing a location.
• The installation location should:
• be able to maintain its temperature within 0 to 45 °C (32 to 113 °F) and its
humidity within 5% to 95%, non-condensing.
• provide adequate space (approximately five centimeters or two inches) on all
sides for proper air flow.
• be accessible for installing, cabling and maintaining the device.
• allow the status LEDs to be clearly visible.
• Make sure twisted-pair cable is always routed away from power lines, fluorescent
lighting fixtures and other sources of electrical interference, such as radios and
transmitters.
• Make sure that the unit is connected to a separate grounded power outlet within 2 m
(6.6 feet) of each device and is powered from an independent circuit breaker. As
with any equipment, using a filter or surge suppressor is recommended. Verify that
the external power requirements for the switch can be met as listed under
Supply Modules" on page
