Selecting a Site for the SwitchBlade x3112
Observe the following requirements before installing your switch in an
equipment rack:
Ensure that the rack is safely secured and that it will not tip over.
Devices in a rack should be installed starting at the bottom, with the
heavier devices near the bottom of the rack.
The power outlet for the switch should be located near the unit and
should be easily accessible.
If the chassis has a system and PoE power supplies installed, the
power sources for multiple supplies of the same type should be on
different A/C circuits to protect the unit from a power circuit failure.
Use dedicated power circuits or power conditioners to supply reliable
electrical power to the network devices.
The site should provide easy access to the ports on the front of the
chassis so that you can easily connect and disconnect the network
cables, as well as view the unit’s LEDs.
Air flow around the unit and through the side and rear vents should be
unrestricted.
Do not place objects on top of the switch.
Do not expose the switch to moisture or water.
Ensure that the site is a dust-free environment.
