Page 62 -5°C to +55°C (23°F to +131°F) and to withstand non-condensing humidity levels up to 95%. If you are installing the CG2400 in a hot environment, i.e. 30°C to 55°C, it is recommended to take additional measures to maximize the cooling and air circulation as a constant exposure to high temperatures reduces the life expectancy of electronic equipment.
Page 63 Power supply output power based on temperature derating General power information The nominal output power of the CG2400 is 850 W. This means t he system must consume less than 850 W at all times during operation. In a two (redundant) PSU configuration, the current will automatically be shared between both PSUs. If a power feed or PSU becomes defective, the entire load will be carried by the healthy PSU.
Page 64 Power supply output power based on temperature derating Temperature derating only applies when the CG2400 is powered by a single PSU. In single PSU configurations, the nominal output power is affected by the inlet temperature at the PSU (50°C and above).

Page 288 Description Description The CG2400 platform offers the flexibility to add up to two specific temperature measurement points by connecting optional temperature probes to the platform's motherboard. The probes have to be installed or affixed near thermal measurement points of interest. For example, a measurement point can be a specific chip or a known hot zone found on a PCIe card.
Page 289 Including thermal probes into the platform's cooling algorithm The thermal management of the CG2400 platform is handled by the motherboard's integrated BMC. The BMC uses information collected from on-board temperature sensors to adjust the speed of the fans and to regulate the temperature of the platform according to a PID algorithm.
