Chapter 5: Rack and Cabinet Requirements • Rack Requirements for a J-EX8216 Switch on page 69 • Chassis Physical Specifications of a J-EX8216 Switch on page 9 Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance for a J-EX8216 Switch When planning the site for installing a J-EX8216 switch, you must allow sufficient clearance around the switch. NOTE: To manage airflow in a hot-aisle--cold-aisle data center setup, you might want to use the customized rack solution for J-EX8200 switches offered by Chatsworth Products, Inc. Follow these clearance requirements: • Allow at least 6 in. (15.2 cm) of clearance on each side of the chassis. For the cooling system to function properly, the airflow around the chassis must be unrestricted. See Figure 31 on page 73 and Figure 32 on page 74. NOTE: Do not block the air intake below the power supply slots. Figure 31: Airflow Through the J-EX8216 Switch Chassis 73
