MS510TXM, fan status, operating temperature!

I'm a bit confused on whether I should do something regarding the ventilation around the switch or to replace the fans inside the switch, or to do nothing at all.

 

The temperature readings for the System & MAC sensors are above 50'C, and hovering above 60'C as well, that has me a bit worried, as the manual states that the switch's operating temperature is 0-50'C. See attached screenshot!

Not sure whether the duty level of the fans at 25% indicate that they're spinning at 25% of capability? Or what? They seem to be always running at 25%. Is there anything that I can do to increase that? If so, then how? Or, something about the fans? Replacing them would void the warranty if I'm not mistaken, so, prefer not too.

 

Ventilation around the switch! Well, does anyone know in which direction is the airflow of the fans? Are they blowing air inside the switch or pulling air out? I know the fans are on the left-side of the switch.

 

The switch is running the latest firmware.

The specs indicate the supported environment temperature, the room where the device is operated. 10 Gb switches are hot while operations.

Glad to hear. Can now forget about it, and not be concerned. The environment is general room temperature.

cheers for the reply.
