(Tmra) for the equipment must be specified so that the customer and
installer may determine a suitable maximum operating environment
for the equipment.
19. Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room
ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the
equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s
maximum rated ambient temperature (Tmra).
20. Reduced Air Flow
Installation of the equipment in the rack should be such that the amount
of airflow required for safe operation of the equipment is not
