Installation Guidelines
This section is specific to the Catalyst 2960 8-port switches. For information applicable to the other
Catalyst 2960 switches, see
Chapter 2, “Switch Installation (24- and 48-Port Switches).”
When you determine where to place the switch, be sure to observe these requirements:
• The operating environment must be within the ranges listed in Appendix B, “Technical
Specifications.”
• Airflow around the switch and through the vents must be unrestricted.
We strongly recommend that you allow at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) of clearance around the ventilation
openings.
• Temperature around the unit does not exceed 113°F (45°C).
If the switch is installed in a closed environment or in a multirack assembly, the temperature around
it might be greater than normal room temperature.
