Benefiting from smartcooling fan speed control, the T320 can keep both high performance and good acoustics across awide range of ambient temperatures from 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F) and to extended ambienttemperature ranges (see Table 27). Operating environments for the T320 can vary from the datacenter to general-use spaces. In a typical configuration, the T320 is suitable for an open officeenvironment.
