Site Preparation Checklist
Planning the location and layout of your equipment rack or wiring closet is essential for successful switch operation, ventilation, and accessibility. Table E-1 lists the site planning tasks that we recommend completing before installing the Cisco MDS 9216 Switch.
Consider heat dissipation when sizing the air-conditioning requirements for an installation. See Table C-1 for the environmental requirements, and the "Weight of Modules" section for power and heat ratings.
