Installation Site Requirements

If you plan to cable your SSA switch with SFP+ pluggable transceivers, you might need to have 7.5 cm to 10 cm (3 to 4 in.) of clearance on the switch I/O port side of the SSA switch.

See Environmental Guidelines for ExtremeSwitching Products for environmental guidelines relating to the installation.

The installation site must be within reach of the network cabling and must meet the following requirements:

  • Appropriate grounded power receptacles must be located within 2 m (7 ft) of the site.
  • A temperature of between 5°C (41°F) and 40°C (104°F) must be maintained at the installation site with fluctuations of less than 10°C (18°F) per hour.
