Expanded operating temperature
Specifications
For temperatures between 35°C and 40°C, de-rate
maximum allowable temperature by 1°C per 175 m above
950 m (1°F per 319 ft).
≤ 1% of annual operating hours
–5°C to 45°C at 5% to 90% RH with 29°C dew point.
NOTE: Outside the standard operating temperature
(10°C to 35°C), the system can operate down to –5°C
or up to 45°C for a maximum of 1% of its annual
operating hours.
For temperatures between 40°C and 45°C,de-rate
maximum allowable temperature by 1°C per 125 m above
950 m (1°F per 228 ft).
NOTE: When operating in the expanded temperature range, system performance may be impacted.
NOTE: When operating in the expanded temperature range, ambient temperature warnings maybe
reported on the LCD panel and in the System Event Log.
