Floor Space for Servicing of Cluster Switches
Floor Space for Servicing of Cluster Switches
You must plan floor space for the cluster switches that includes service space in front 
of and behind the switch enclosure (or 19-inch rack). Table 2-6 shows the dimensions 
of the switch enclosure. The total weight of the switch enclosure and its components is 
180 lbs. 
The ServerNet II Switch subcomponent of the cluster switch is installed on slide rails. 
When pulled out for servicing (see Figure 2-9), the ServerNet II Switch extends 
approximately 24 inches in front of the enclosure. You must allow enough service 
clearance in front of the switch enclosure so that the ServerNet II Switch can be fully 
extended—and removed, if necessary—for servicing.
