Installation Guidelines
Use the following guidelines when installing a Cisco SFS 3504 Server Switch:
• Make two people available for lifting the chassis onto the rack.
• Verify that the rack environment provides sufficient ventilation:
–
Maintain ambient airflow throughout the site to ensure normal operation.
–
If installing in an enclosed cabinet, ensure that the cabinet has adequate ventilation, and allow
at least 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) of clearance between the chassis vents and cabinet doors.
–
If placing the switch adjacent to a device that exhausts air toward the switch, the horizontal
distance between the devices should be a minimum of 6 inches (15.2 cm).
–
Ensure that cables do not obstruct the airflow through the chassis.
• Ground yourselves using approved ESD grounding wrist straps.
• Read the “Safety Overview” section on page 2, and observe the following cautions:
Caution Do not lift the Cisco SFS 3504 Server Switch chassis by the front (power-fan module end) and back
(cable end). Lift the unit by the sides to prevent damage.
