The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

This switch is rated to operate at 32 to 104°F (0 to 40°C). It can be stored at -40 to 158°F (-40 to 70°C).
This switch is rated to operate at 8- to 80-percent relative humidity with 10-percent gradation per hour. It can be stored in an environment that has 5- to 95-percent relative humidity.
Buildings cooled with air conditioning during warm months and warmed during cold months usually maintain an acceptable level of humidity. However, if the site is unusually humid, use a dehumidifier to maintain the required humidity level.
High-altitude (low-pressure) conditions outside of 0 to 5,000 feet (0 to 1524 m) can reduce the cooling efficiency and cause electrical problems.
To prevent contaminant buildup and increased internal chassis temperatures, make sure that the operating environment is as clean as possible and free of dust and other contaminants. Do not permit smoking, food, or drinks near the switch.
