Installing the SAN Switch
36 SAN Switch 2/8V, 2/16V and 2/16N Installation Guide
Caution: For proper air flow, the SFP media side of the SAN Switch 2/8V or
SAN Switch 2/16V must face the rear of the rack. This mounting allows air to
enter from the front of the rack and to exhaust at the rear of the rack, similar to
other rack-mounted equipment. This prevents switch overheating, which may
cause it to fail.
