CAUTION:
The maximum inlet ambient temperature for most components installed in the system is
35°C (95°F). Some components, however, are subject to thermal limitations depending on the
chassis model and the fan configuration. There are some hardware configurations where it is
necessary to limit the number of drives installed in the chassis. For more information, see

To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the server unless the
