Environmental and Power Requirements

To meet the environmental requirements the blade must be tested in the system in which
it is to be installed.
Before you power up the blade, calculate the power needed according to your combination
of blade upgrades and accessories.
2.3.1

Environmental Requirements

The environmental conditions must be tested and proven in the shelf configuration used.
The conditions refer to the surroundings of the blade within the user environment.
The environmental requirements of the blade may be further limited-down due to
installed accessories (such as hard disks or PMC modules) with more restrictive
environmental requirements.
Operating temperatures refer to the temperature of the air circulating around the
blade and not to the actual component temperature.
Blade Damage
Do not operate the blade outside of the specified environmental limits. Before
applying power, make sure the blade is completely dry and there is no moisture on
any surface.
Operating the blade without forced air cooling may lead to blade overheating
resulting in blade damage.
When operating the blade make sure that forced air cooling is available in the shelf.
