Cabling Infrastructure - Ensure the cabling infrastructure meets the necessary network specifications. See Appendix B “Cabling and Technology Information” for more information.

Installation Location - Before installing the switch, plan its location and orientation relative to other devices and equipment:

•In the front of the switch, leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) of space for the twisted-pair and fiber-optic cabling.

•In the back of the switch, leave at least 3.8 cm (1 1/2 inches) of space for the power cord.

•On the sides of the switch, leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) for cooling, except if the switch is installed in an open EIA/TIA rack.
