You can mount the switch in a cabinet that contains a 19-in. rack as defined in
Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and Associated Equipment (document number EIA-310–D)
published by the Electronics Industry Association (
).
Cabinet requirements consist of:
■
Cabinet size and clearance
■
Cabinet airflow requirements
Table 28 on page 89 provides the cabinet requirements and specifications for the
switch.
Table 28: Cabinet Requirements and Specifications for the Switch
Guidelines
Cabinet Requirement
■
The minimum cabinet size for accommodating a switch
is 23.62 in. (60 cm) wide and 30 in. (76.2 cm) deep.
Large cabinets improve airflow and reduce the chance
of overheating. To accommodate a single switch in a
two-post rack or four-post rack, the cabinet must be at
least 1 U high.
A U is the standard rack unit defined in Cabinets, Racks,
Panels, and Associated Equipment (document number
EIA-310–D) published by the Electronics Industry
Association (
).
■
With adequate cooling air and airflow clearance, you
can mount 42 switches in a cabinet with a two-post or
four-post rack that has at least 42 U of usable vertical
space. In all cases, the rack must meet the strength
requirements to support the weight.
■
The minimum total clearance inside the cabinet is
29.2 in. (74.17 cm) between the inside of the front door
and the inside of the rear door.
