Figure 22: Airflow Through the EX4200 Switch Chassis
Allow at least 6 in. (15.2 cm) of clearance on the side between devices that have fans or blowers installed.
Allow 2.8 in. (7 cm) between the side of the chassis and any non-heat-producing surface such as a wall.
If you are mounting the switch on a rack or cabinet with other equipment, or if you are placing it on the
desktop or floor near other equipment, ensure that the exhaust from other equipment does not blow
into the intake vents of the chassis.
Leave at least 24 in. (61 cm) both in front of and behind the switch. For service personnel to remove
and install hardware components, you must leave adequate space at the front and back of the switch.
NEBS GR-63 recommends at least 30 in. (76.2 cm) in front of the rack or cabinet and 24 in. (61 cm)
behind the rack or cabinet.
