We tend to place our switches rear facing for easier cabling. The biggest issue we have you've already covered, racking/unracking switches in a full rack.
Had to do it the other week, was the biggest PITA. Couldn't get the ears back onto the switch, luckily it turns out R620's work really well as a shelf :) Most switches allow you to take the fan modules out and switch them with reverse flow ones, however we haven't had to do this with any of our equipment (just doesn't get hot enough). _______________________________________________ AusNOG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ausnog.net/mailman/listinfo/ausnog
