Installing the FlexibleLOM adapter

CAUTION:

The maximum inlet ambient temperature for most components installed in the system is 35°C (95°F). Some components, however, are subject to thermal limitations depending on the chassis model and the fan configuration. There are some hardware configurations where it is necessary to limit the number of drives installed in the chassis. For more information, see Temperature requirements.
