Environmental Specifications
Note: Your RAID Expander requires adequate airflow to operate reliably. The recommended airflow is 200 LFM
(linear feet per minute), minimum to avoid operating above the maximum ambient temperature. Forced airflow is
required.
The thermal and atmospheric characteristics are:
Ambient temperature with forced airflow
Relative humidity
Altitude
The storage and transit environment conditions are:
Ambient temperature with forced airflow
Relative humidity
Mean Operating Time Between Failures number (MTBF):
electrical components
Note: Ambient temperature is measured 1" from the expander processor.

Typical Current
All power is supplied to the RES3FV288 French Valley
RAID Expander Card through the standard PCI Express
connector's 12 V rails, or a remote RA 4-pin 12V power
connector. The +12 V rail is used to generate the other
required voltage rails of 3.3V, 1.8V, 1.005V, and 0.925V
and +1.8 V.
The max operation power is TBD W.
