Notes:
• The chart is shown in SI (metric) units and a barometric pressure of 101.325 kPa (sea level).
• The recommended operating environment species a long-term operating environment that can result
in the greatest reliability and energy efîš´ciency.
• The allowable operating environment represents where the equipment has been tested to verify
functionality.

Notes:
1. Product equipment is removed from the original shipping container and installed but not in use - for example, during repair, maintenance, or upgrade.
2. Derate maximum dry-bulb temperature 1°C/300 m above 900 m (1.8°F/1,000 feet above 3,000 feet).
3. Derate maximum recommended dry-bulb temperature 1°C/300 m above 1,800 m (1.8°F/1,000 feet above 6,000 feet).
4. Changes of up to 30% RH in 5 minutes are allowed as long as the 20% to 50% absolute limits are not exceeded.
