Operating a SG200-08 switch with case removed.

[glenara_ca]

I am going to be putting an SG200-08 (8 port switch) inside a 2U rackmount chassis.

To enhance cooling I thought I would remove the outer case.

Are there, or would there be any issues with using the switch with the cover removed?

Thanks

Glen

Hi Glen, the first issue would be, the warranty is void and you're not entitled to any support. The second issue would be static electricity and environmental concerns. The third issue would likely be your property insurance.

It is highly against recommendation to alter or modify these units.
