Selecting A Site

The chassis can be installed in a standard 19-inch rack or on a level surface
such as a sturdy bench. When installing the chassis, choose a site that:

■ allows adequate airflow around the chassis and its vents.

■ is free of dust and moisture.

■ will allow the chassis and its components to operate within a temperature

range of 0 to 40º C (32 to 104º F) and a humidity range of 5 to 95% non­condensing.

■ has a reliable and earthed (grounded), preferably dedicated and filtered

power supply circuit.

■ does not expose cabling to sources of electrical noise, such as radios,

transmitters, broadband amplifiers, power lines, electric motors, and
fluorescent fixtures.

■ allows easy access to the chassis’s power and cable connections.

■ will allow all related network devices to be connected to the chassis

without exceeding maximum cable length limitations. See the SwitchBlade
Hardware Reference for cable length specifications.
