The following table describes the operational climatic range for category A2:
Temperature | Specifications |
---|---|
Allowable continuous operations | |
Temperature ranges for altitudes <= 900 m (<= 2953 ft) | 10–35°C (50–95°F) with no direct sunlight on the equipment |
Humidity percent ranges (non-condensing at all times) | 8% RH with -12°C minimum dew point to 80% RH with 21°C (69.8°F) maximum dew point |
Operational altitude de-rating | Maximum temperature is reduced by 1°C/300 m (33.8°F/984 Ft) above 900 m (2953 Ft) |
The following table describes the shared requirements across all categories:
Temperature | Specifications |
---|---|
Allowable continuous operations | |
Maximum temperature gradient (applies to both operation and non-operation) | 20°C in an hour* (36°F in an hour) and 5°C in 15 minutes (41°F in 15 minutes), 5°C in an hour* (41°F in an hour) for tape
NOTE:* - Per ASHRAE thermal guidelines for tape hardware, these are not instantaneous rates of temperature change.

Non-operational temperature limits | -40 to 65°C (-104 to 149°F) |
Non-operational humidity limits | 5% to 95% RH with 27°C (80.6°F) maximum dew point |
Maximum non-operational altitude | 12,000 meters (39,370 feet) |
Maximum operational altitude | 3,048 meters (10,000 feet) |
The following table describes the maximum vibration specifications:
Maximum vibration | Specifications |
---|---|
Operating | 0.26 Grms at 5 Hz to 350 Hz (all operation orientations) |
Storage (nonoperational) | 1.88 Grms at 10 Hz to 500 Hz for 15 minutes (all six sides tested) |
The following table describes the maximum shock pulse specifications:
Maximum shock pulse | Specifications |
---|---|
Operating | Six consecutively executed shock pulses in the positive and negative x, y, and z axis of 6 G for up to 11 ms. |
Storage (nonoperational) | Six consecutively executed shock pulses in the positive and negative x, y, and z axis (one pulse on each side of the system) of 71 G for up to 2 ms. |
