Operating temperature is the ambient temperature without wind and when placed horizontally, at which the power supply can be operated within its specifications. Avoid placing the power supply vertically or at extreme angles. For forced air-cooled power supplies, the operating temperature is the temperature of airflow into the power supply. The lifetime of the power supply is reduced by 50% for every 10°C rise in temperature. Operating the power supply at as low a temperature as possible (in the specified operating range) will prolong the life of the power supply.
