free of dust or other debris that might lessen the adhesion of the feet.

press into place.

Before you begin important information about the plenum

The plenum is an air duct that attaches to the switch rails, enabling the switch to draw cooler air into
the switch from outside the rack, rather than drawing in heated air from within the rack.
A plenum ships with the following 8-Gb SAN Switch models only:
• 8/8 SAN Switch
• 8/24 SAN Switch
