Operating, short-term: 5 to 90%, noncondensing

Nonoperating: 5 to 93%, noncondensing

Altitude

Operating: –200 to 13,800 ft (–61 to 4206 m) at 104°F (40°C)

Nonoperating: Up to 16,000 ft (4877 m) at –13°F (–25°C), short-term

Power system airflow

Up to 240 cubic feet per minute (6800 liters per minute)

Air exhaust temperature

140°F (60°C)—at room temperatures of 95 to 102°F (35 to 39°C)

158°F (70°C)—maximum exhaust temperature on a fully loaded system during worst-case operating conditions (50°C and 6000 ft altitude)

The air temperature rise is 68°F (20°C) on a fully loaded system with fans running at maximum speed.

Air velocity (at exhaust)

1000 ft/min (5.1m/s) under typical conditions 27°C

2250 ft/min(11.4m/s) at maximum speed

The software controls the speed of the fans based on measurements from the chassis thermal sensors.

Sound power level(AC and DC power)

76.4 dBA declared

Shock and vibration

Designed and tested to meet the NEBS shock and vibration standards defined in GR-63 Issue 4 2012.

1 Short-term refers to a period of not more than 96 consecutive hours and a total of not more than 15 days in 1 year. This refers to a total of 360 hours in any given year, but no more than 15 occurrences during that 1-year period.
