Selecting a Site
Before you install the switch, review the following considerations about its
location.
■AT-8948, x900-48FE, x900-48FS, and AT-9900 switches require an ambient
temperature from 0º C to 50ºC (32º F to 122º F).
■AT-9924Ts, x900-12XT/S, x900-24XT, x900-24XT-N, x900-24XS, and
SwitchBlade x908 switches require an ambient temperature from 0º C to
40º C (32º F to 104º F).
■There should be adequate airflow around the switch and its vents.
■The site should be dust-free and without moisture.
■Humidity can be from 5% to 80% non-condensing.
■You need a reliable and earthed (grounded) power supply source, preferably
dedicated and filtered.
■Cabling must not be exposed to sources of electrical noise, such as radio
transmitters, broadband amplifiers, power lines, electric motors, and
fluorescent fixtures.
■Switch ports are suitable for intra-building connections, or where
non-exposed cabling is required.
■Related network devices can be connected to the switch but cannot exceed
maximum cable lengths specified in the Hardware Reference.
■You may need to remove cabinet doors from the equipment rack to
accommodate cords and cables.
■Ensure easy access to the switch’s power and cable connections.
■The SwitchBlade x908 should only be installed in locations where access to
the system is controlled. The SwitchBlade x908 is not intended for home
use. If installed in a school, it should only be installed in a location restricted
to service personnel.
