Switch Cooling Requirements
Wherever the switch is located, be sure to pay close attention to switch cooling
requirements. The location should be well ventilated and provide unrestricted
airflow at the front, back, and sides of the switch. If the airflow is insufficient, it may
cause the switch to overheat and possibly fail.
The ECS2100-28P/ECS2100-52T switch is equipped with one cooling fan and the
ECS2100-28PP switch is equipped with three cooling fans. The following figure
shows the cool air intake and the hot air exhaust airflow into and from the switch.

The ECS2100-10T, ECS2100-10P, ECS2100-10PE, ECS2110-26T and ECS2100-28T use
a fanless cooling design. The following figure shows the convective airflow from
the switch.
