Note:
Ensure a clearance of 1U (44.45 mm, namely, 1.75 inches) between devices for the
purpose of heat dissipation.
3.1.2 Mounting the Switch on a Workbench
In many cases, standard 19-inch racks are not available. Therefore, switches are often
placed on clean workbenches. To place your switch on a workbench, you simply need
to:
Make sure that the workbench is clean, flat, and sturdy.
Makes sure that the environment is well ventilated and allow 10 cm (3.9 in.) of
space around the chassis for heat dissipation.
Do not place heavy objects on your switch.
In the case of stack application, the vertical distance between two switches must
be at least 1.5 cm (0.59 in).
