  • Page 8: Power And Thermal Specifications

    2.2 Power and Thermal Specifications FXT 5000 Series nodes use variable speed fans, so power depends on temperature. Maximum fan speeds are unlikely to occur even at the highest specified ambient temperature (35° C/95° F). Power and thermal specifications are for a system using 1+1 redundant power supplies, both supplying power.
