Selecting an Operating Location
The Switch should be located in a secure or limited-access place to control use
of the Switch front panel controls, and to ensure that cable connections are not
compromised. The operating location you select for the Switch must meet
cooling air requirements and power requirements.
Cooling Air Requirements
Cooling air is drawn into the Switch chassis by the power supply fan and by
two other fans mounted on the rear of the chassis; the air is expelled through
vents in the front of the chassis. The combined air flow through the Switch is
75 cubic feet per minute (cfpm), and nominal bulk flow of 15 cfpm.
CAUTION: Do not block the front or rear air vents. The Switch must have free
access to ambient air for cooling.
Power Requirements
You connect the ac power cord to a switched connector on the bottom right
side of the Switch front panel. The ac power source must meet these
requirements:
■ A properly–wired, earth–grounded ac outlet
■ Voltage capability of 90–134 Vac or 180–257 Vac, and IEC 801-5 surge
voltage
■ Input voltage frequency of 50–60 Hz
■ Power capability of 219 watts, maximum.
The Switch has an autoranging power supply that automatically accepts
voltages within its range. There is no provision for surge protection built
into the Switch power supply so the ac source should include provisions to
assure clean ac power.
