The temperature of the shell is high for the following models when they are operating: S5735-L24T4S-A, S5735S-L24T4S-A, S5735S-L24T4S-MA, S5735S-L24FT4S-A, S5735-L12T4S-A, and S5735S-L12T4S-A. Therefore, install them in restricted areas where only administrators can get to them, such as network boxes, desks in equipment rooms, and cabinets.
