6.1.5 Thermal Profile
It is important to follow the thermal profile to make sure the MTBF values are respected. The different
component usage will influence the temperature that the product can handle. Figure below show the three
major components behavior under 100% and 85% usage. One can easily obtain the maximum ambient
temperature achievable with respect to the delivered slot airflow as well as the corresponding shelf class.
Refer to the figure below for more details.
