Installation location
Before installing the switch, plan its location and orientation relative to other devices and equipment. For cooling purposes, allow a minimum of six inches of space between the sides, front, and the back of the chassis and walls or other obstructions. If a chassis is installed within a perforated enclosure, the perforations must have openings on at least 60 percent of the surface.
