Preparing for Installation
Revised: July 2012
Planning a proper location for the switch and the layout of your equipment rack or wiring closet is essential for successful system operation. Equipment placed too close together or inadequately ventilated can cause system overtemperature conditions. In addition, poor equipment placement can make network interface connections inaccessible and difficult to maintain.
This chapter describes how to prepare your site for switch installation and includes these sections:
•Safety, page
