3.6 Thermal and Atmospheric Characteristics
The LSI Nytro WarpDrive design operates in an environment defined by the following parameters.
 Temperature range: 5 °C to 45 °C (dry bulb)
 Relative humidity range: 8 percent to 80 percent noncondensing
 Maximum wet bulb temperature: 28 °C
 Airflow requirement: more than 300 LFPM
In accordance with these airflow conditions, the LSI Nytro WarpDrive card temperature sensor is expected to limit
at the following set points.
— 70/30 random read/random writes and 100 percent entropy: 63.9 °C with card inlet at 45°
— 100 percent sequential 256-kB writes and 100 percent entropy: 73.5 °C with card inlet at 45°
The LSI Nytro WarpDrive card is designed for a storage and transit environment defined by the following parameters.
 Temperature range: –20 °C to +75 °C (dry bulb)
 Relative humidity range: 5 percent to 95 percent noncondensing
NOTE Because of system design and cooling capacity variations that affect
the actual airflow delivered to the LSI Nytro WarpDrive card, the
system-level fan speeds might require adjustments to make sure the
LSI Nytro WarpDrive card sensor temperature does not exceed 74 °C.
3.7 Safety Characteristics
All LSI PCIe boards meet or exceed the requirements of UL flammability rating 94V-0. Each bare board is marked with
the supplier’s name or trademark, type, and UL flammability rating. Because these boards are installed in a PCIe bus
slot, all voltages are below the SELV 42.4-V limit.
