Question regarding 3560 operating temperatures.

[nialltodd]

Hi. The operating temprature of a 3560 switch is stated as:

Operating temperature: 32 to 113ºF (0 to 45ºC)

Is this is cumulative internal temperature or a recommendation on ambinet temperature in the cabinet/computer room? A client is proposing to delpy 3560s in a currently empty room which is already over 30 degrees celsius, there is no active equipment in yet (only active equipment will be 4-6 switches). I am trying to find out whether I say air conditioning is a 'must' or a 'strong requirement'. Any info much appreciated indeed.

To prevent the switch from overheating, do not operate it in an area that exceeds the maximum recommended ambient temperature of 113°F (45°C). To prevent

airflow restriction, allow at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) of clearance around the ventilation openings.
