Temperature and Humidity Guidelines
For the operating and nonoperating environmental specifications for the Cisco 12008, refer
to Table 1-11 in Chapter 1. The router operates within the ranges specified in this table;
however, a temperature that approaches a minimum or maximum level indicates a potential
problem. You can maintain normal system operations by anticipating and correcting
environmental anomalies before they approach a critical state.
The environmental monitors built into the Cisco 12008 protect system components from
potential damage from overvoltage and overtemperature conditions. To ensure normal
operations and avoid unnecessary maintenance, plan and prepare your site properly before
installing the router.
