Environmental requirements

To ensure proper operation, the switch must not be subjected to environmental conditions

beyond those for which it was tested. The ranges specified in Table 29 list the acceptable

environment for both operating and non-operating conditions.

NOTE: The -10°- 40° Celsius range applies to the ambient air temperature at the air intake

vents on the nonport side of the switch. The temperature inside the switch can be up to 75°

Celsius during switch operation.

If the internal temperature range exceeds the operating ranges of the components, the LEDs,

error messages, and Fabric Watch alerts will indicate a problem. Enter the tempshow

commands to view temperature status.
