Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance for EX4500
Switches
When planning the site for installing an EX4500 switch, you must allow sufficient
clearance around the switch.
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 19 on page 52 and Figure 20 on page 53.
