Note:
• Max ambient temperature environment = 32C / 950 meters.
• Max altitude environment = 25 degrees Celsius / 3050 meters.
• Decrease the maximum air temperature by 1 degree Celsius per 300 meters above 950 meters.
• The maximum ambient operating temperature when using an optical cable or discrete optical
transceiver is 32 degrees Celsius, which includes all Ethernet (100 Gb) cables and InniBand (100
Gb EDR) that are greater than or equal to 3 meter in length.
Dimensions and weight requirements for rack installation
Ensure that space is available in a standard 19 in. rack (EIA Standard EIA-310-D) that is capable of
supporting the enclosure. The rack rail kit supports racks with threaded round and square rail mounting
holes. The following table lists the dimensions and weights of the enclosures.

CAUTION:
The weight of this part or unit is between 32 and 55 kg (70.5 and 121.2 lb). It takes three persons
to safely lift this part or unit. (C010)
CAUTION:
The weight of this part or unit is more than 46 kg (102 lb). It takes specially trained persons, a
lifting device, or both to safely lift this part or unit. (C011)
