the switch nameplate.
• The power supply standards are met.
Environmental considerations
For successful installation and operation of the switch, ensure that the following environmental
requirements are met:

• Some combinations of intake and exhaust airflows may not be compatible with your environment.
Consult your fan and power supply module FRU kit to determine the correct configuration.
