      Hello, I'm running a Netgate SG-4860. It is running between 45-50 degrees Celsius (113-122 Fahrenheit). Are these safe operating temperatures that do not impact longevity?

      It is in a cupboard, but no other devices close or on top of it. I've cleaned it, so no dust. Should I take any other action?

          My edge is currently an SG-4860. It's sitting at 57C in a 25C rack.
