Power Conditioning Enterasys products are rated to be used with internationally accepted AC input parameters. It is important that these parameters are monitored and verified to operate as expected for the ratings that apply to the equipment installed. Surges and excessive noise outside of these prescribed ranges in the power circuits feeding this equipment may cause permanent damage to the equipment installed and must be monitored and prevented.
Note: The SSA switch directs air flow from front to back, not side to side. When placing Enterasys switches into enclosed racks, rack exhaust fans must be considered if the rack does not contain adequate inlet and exit venting. These fans may be needed to help exhaust hot air from the rack.
E-4 below shows a non-ideal configuration for an open rack, where sub- systems with mixed flow directions (white arrows) are combined in one rack. Circular red arrows show potential for hot air recirculation. Enterasys S-Series Stand Alone (SSA) Hardware Installation Guide E-3...
Temperature and Humidity Guidelines Figure E-3 Non-ideal Open Rack Configuration Non-ideal flows should be avoided or mitigated and confirmed through thermal testing. Figure E-4 below shows a non-ideal open rack configuration containing sub-systems with mixed flow directions (white arrows). This configuration shows mitigation of potential hot air recirculation by leaving a gap in the rack population.
Dust accumulation on inlet and exit venting is not uncommon after prolonged use. In dustier environments this accumulation can be much quicker. Enterasys strongly recommends routine maintenance to check for clean inlet and exit vents on this equipment. Over time, dust accumulation can create vent blockages, thereby decreasing airflow and increasing component temperatures, resulting in reduced reliability.
