Expanded operating temperature Specifications
Continuous operation 5°C to 40°C at 5% to 85% RH with 29°C dew point.
NOTE: Outside the standard operating temperature (10°C
to 35°C), the appliance can operate continuously in
temperatures as low as 5°C and as high as 40°C.
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 appliance 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:
● The performance of the appliance may be impacted.
● The ambient temperature warnings may be reported in the System Event Log.
Expanded operating temperature restrictions
● Do not perform a cold startup below 5°C.
● The operating temperature specified is for a maximum altitude of 3050 m (10,000 ft).
● Redundant power supply units are required.
● Non-Dell EMC qualified peripheral cards and/or peripheral cards greater than 25 W are not supported.
