.
Chassis can be mounted in 19-inch equipment racks that meet
ANSI/EIA
310-D and ETS 300-119 standards.
Weight 29.13 lb (13.21 kg).
Airflow FAN-C6524—110 CFM
Note To maintain proper air circulation through the switch chassis, we
recommend that you maintain a minimum 6-inch (15
cm) separation
between a wall and the chassis air intake or a wall and the chassis air
exhaust. You should also allow a minimum separation of 12 inches
(30.5
cm) between the hot air exhaust on one chassis and the air
intake on another chassis. Failure to maintain adequate air space can
cause the chassis to overheat and the system to fail.
