Rack Temperature Requirements

The operating temperature inside the rack will always be higher than the room temperature, and is dependent on the configuration of equipment in your rack. The TMRA for each piece of equipment should be checked before installation. The maximum internal rack temperature for your configuration should not exceed the values in the following table:
