ICX 7550 24ZP / 48ZP Airflow

Is there any documentation listing max airflow requirements for the ICX 7550 switches and fan curves for their fan modules? I need to ensure that they are getting enough air in an enclosure.

Please see the ICX 7550 Installation Guide Document: https://ruckus-support.s3.amazonaws.com/private/documents/3484/icx7550-installguide.pdf?

The document details the switch airflow/space requirements:

Allow at least 7.62 cm (3 in.) of space between the front and the back of the device and walls or other obstructions for proper airflow.
Allow at least 7.62 cm (3 in.) of space at the front and back of the device for the twisted-pair, fiber-optic, and power cabling.

Thanks, I did see the space requirements in the documentation. Our application has the switch in an enclosure with other components and a limited supply of conditioned air. Therefore knowing the max airflow that the ICX 7550 will draw is beneficial.
