♦ The system fans are used to dissipate heat. The sides of
the system also provide heat vents to serve the same
purpose. Do not block these openings, and leave at least
6 inches of space at the rear and sides of the switch for
proper ventilation. Be reminded that without proper heat
dissipation and air circulation, system components might
overheat, which could lead to system failure.
Optional Plug-in Modules
The DES-3326S 24-port Fast Ethernet Layer 3 Switch is able to
accommodate a range of optional plug-in modules in order to
increase functionality and performance. These modules must
be purchased separately.
