The system environment must provide sufficient air flow to limit maximum
surface temperatures as defined in Table 2-12.
2.5.3. Cooling
Drive component temperatures must remain within the limits specified in Table 2-12.
Figure 2-7 and Figure 2-8 show the temperature measurement locations. Sustained
operation at temperatures in excess of the reliability values degrades the MTBF rating.
Short excursions up to, but not exceeding, the maximum values do not affect the MTBF
rating. Maximum component temperature ratings must not be exceeded under any
operating condition. The drive may require forced air cooling to meet specified
operating temperatures.
