NETGEAR M6100 Hardware Installation Manual page 27

Up to five adjacent switches will continue to function without safety
Note:
concerns. However, product lifetime might degrade with continued
exposure to high temperatures in close proximity, and long-term
reliability might be compromised.
Chassis Airflow Requirements
To ensure proper airflow through a switch, refer to the following recommendations when you
install the switch:
The M6100 chassis switch requires a minimum of 1.5 inches (4 cm) around both the left
•
and right sides of the chassis from any cabinet wall or other obstruction for proper airflow.
Air temperature measured approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the fan inlet must be less
•
than 104°F (40°C).
In the M6100 chassis switch, air moves through the power supplies independently of the
airflow through the modules, as shown in the following figure.

Mechanical Recommendations for the Rack
Use equipment racks that meet the following mechanical recommendations:
Use an open style, 19-inch rack to facilitate easy maintenance and to provide proper
•
ventilation.
Use a rack made of steel or aluminum.
•
Make sure that the rack uses the universal mounting rail hole pattern that is identified in
•
IEC Standard 297.
The rack must have designated earth grounding connections (typically on the base).
•
The rack must meet earthquake safety requirements equal to that of the installed chassis.
•
The mounting holes must be flush with the rails to accommodate the chassis.
