2.3.1

Environmental and Thermal Requirements

The following table provides the environmental and the thermal requirements for the PCIE-

6001 card.

Operating temperatures refer to the temperature of the incoming air passing across
the card and out of the faceplate and not the temperature of the components.

NOTICE

Card Damage

High humidity and condensation on the card surface causes short circuits.

Do not operate the card outside the specified environmental limits. Make sure that
the card is completely dry and there is no moisture on its surface before applying
power.
