Do not exceed the shipping and storage temperature gradient of 45°F/hr (25°C/hr). Table 9.

Base enclosure airflow The base enclosure uses an adaptive cooling algorithm that increases or decreases fan speed as the unit senses changes to the external ambient temperature. Exhaust increases with ambient temperature and fan speed, and is roughly linear within recommended operating parameters. Note that the information in the table below is typical, and was measured without cabinet front/rear doors that would potentially reduce front-to-back air flow. Table 10.

Base enclosure airflow
The base enclosure uses an adaptive cooling algorithm that increases or decreases fan speed as the unit senses changes to
the external ambient temperature. Exhaust increases with ambient temperature and fan speed, and is roughly linear within
recommended operating parameters. Note that the information in the table below is typical, and was measured without cabinet
front/rear doors that would potentially reduce front-to-back air flow.
