Simple question - put one switch on top of another?

Hi, I have a Netgear GS348 unmanaged switch, and a Netgear XS508M switch. I am running out of space where they are, am I able to safely place one of the units on top of the other without heat or other issues?

 

Thanks!

    The XS series has a fan so cooling shouldn't be an issue. I don't tend to stack switches on top of each other for what I do. Side by side if needed.

     

    One could put some spacers in between each of the switches if stacked to help with keeping cooling and air flow working well.
