Installation Guidelines
Use the following guidelines when installing a Cisco SFS 3504 Server Switch:
•Make two people available for lifting the chassis onto the rack.
•Verify that the rack environment provides sufficient ventilation:
–
Maintain ambient airflow throughout the site to ensure normal operation.
–
If installing in an enclosed cabinet, ensure that the cabinet has adequate ventilation, and allow
at least 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) of clearance between the chassis vents and cabinet doors.
–
If placing the switch adjacent to a device that exhausts air toward the switch, the horizontal
distance between the devices should be a minimum of 6 inches (15.2 cm).
–
Ensure that cables do not obstruct the airflow through the chassis.
•Ground yourselves using approved ESD grounding wrist straps.
•Read the “Safety Overview” section on page2, and observe the following cautions:
Caution Do not lift the Cisco SFS 3504 Server Switch chassis by the front (power-fan module end) and back
(cable end). Lift the unit by the sides to prevent damage.
