Environmental requirements
To ensure proper o peration, the switch must not be subjected to environmental conditions
beyond those
for which it was tested. The ranges specified in Table 25 list the acceptable
environment
for both operating and non-operating conditions.

NOTE:
The –10 ºC to +40 ºC 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 ºC 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. Issue the
tempshow command to view temperature status.
