    Hello,

    you can also mount the switch vertically, the port side being vertical.

    The switch temperature is now naturally much lower, no heat sink or fan added.
    The environment where it is mounted is quite clean.
    With the heat exhausted by the switch, I barely doubt dust coming in…

    Being happy with this setup, I just wanted to share.

    Thanks for the replies everyone but this thread was answered early this year. The 1250 does have a fan, the v1 firmware was … let's say, "not the best", and the v2.00(ABWE.0)C0 firmware solved most of the thermal issues although I'm waiting patiently for some refinements in the next firmware release. For what it's worth though, all 4 switches have been stable and efficient, keeping up with a fairly heavily loaded Arista DCS-7010T-48 in each of the home data center, the real data center, and at the day job for about 9 months now. The WAX650S APs are really solid, and the next deep dive will be into the XS1930-12HP and XS1930-10. The current round of Zyxel designs appear to be solid and perform well. Thank you, Zyxel!
