Airflow |
|
| Note To maintain proper air circulation through the Catalyst switch |
| chassis, we recommend that you maintain a minimum |
| 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. On |
| Catalyst chassis in which the airflow is from front to back, the |
| chassis may be placed |
