Environmental specifications

• Minimum/maximum ambient operating temperature

: 0º to 55º C (32º to

131º F)

• Minimum/maximum storage temperature: –40º to 75º C (-40º to 167º F)

• Maximum altitude for operation: 3,000 meters

Voltage +3.3 V +12 V

Current 3.0 A 1.3 A

Total power consumption: 23 watts

This temperature range assumes that the hardware components on the card don’t

exceed the maximum operating temperature as explained in “Monitoring your VS4’s

operating temperatures” on page 93.
