Technical Specifications

96 SAN Switch 2/8V, 2/16V and 2/16N Installation Guide

Environmental Requirements

To ensure proper operation, the switch must not be subjected to environmental

conditions beyond those for which it was tested. The ranges specified in Table 19

list the acceptable environment for both operating and non-operating conditions.

Note: The 0° - 40° Celsius 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° Celsius 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. Enter the

tempshow or Fabric Watch commands to view temperature status.
