mattx Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Righty ho, now I have replaced 4 of our switches I have noticed that these new ones of ours don't have internal fans - with two in a all cabinet with some POE staff etc they are running a tad hot. The safe temp is 40/104 - I have a nasty feeling they will get VERY close to that in a closed cabinet. Anyone got any suggestions as to a good supplier of some cabinet fans ? Also - best place to mount them ? Top, Middle or Bottom..... ;-)
Ric_ Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 I'm not sure where the best place to buy the fans from is... I do know that you should extract the (hot) air out of the top of the cab and maybe suck some (cool) air into the bottom or sides.
srochford Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Videk is a good place to start for anything like this. Fans are here - the 1U general purpose one might be best (because it will fit any cab) Fabulous company, excellent service, not bad prices! 1
