Temperature and Humidity

Although DS3001 is designed to use multiple internal fans, the site should still maintain appropriate temperature and humidity. High-humidity conditions may cause increased electrical resistance and degradation of mechanical properties and corrosion of internal components. Extreme low relative humidity may cause the insulation spacer to contract, making the fastening screw insecure. Furthermore, in dry environments, static electricity is liable to be produced and cause harm to internal circuits. Temperature extremes may cause reduced reliability and premature aging of insulation materials, thus reducing the working lifespan of the Ethernet switch.

Note: A sample of ambient temperature and humidity should be taken at 1.5m above the floor and 0.4m in front of the rack, with no protective panel covering the front and rear of the rack. Short term working conditions refer to a maximum of 48 hours of continued operation and an annual cumulative total of less than 15 days. Adverse operation conditions refer to the ambient temperature and relative humidity value that may occur during an air-conditioning system failure, and normal operation conditions should be recovered within 5 hours.
