Site Power Requirements
Cooling air is drawn in through the right side and exhausted through the left side of the chassis. Keep
the sides and rear clear of obstructions, including dust and foreign conductive material, and away from
the exhaust ports of other equipment.

the switches. To maintain normal operation and ensure high system availability, maintain an ambient
temperature and EMI-free and continuous power at your site. The environmental ranges listed in
Appendix A are those within which the switch will continue to operate; however, a measurement that
approaches the minimum or maximum of a range indicates a potential problem. You can maintain normal
operation by anticipating and correcting environmental anomalies before they exceed the maximum
operating range.

Connect each switch to separate wiring on a dedicated circuit; provide each switch with its own
branch circuit connection with sufficient overcurrent protection and direct grounding to the branch
circuit.
To prevent a loss of input power, be sure the total maximum load on each AC circuit is within the
current ratings of the wiring and breakers.
