Hardware acclimation times (systems and components)
Table 8:
If the last 24 hours of the TRANSIT/
STORAGE environment was this:
…and the OPERATING environment
is this:
…then let the system or
component acclimate in the
new environment this many
hours:
Cold
<68°F (20°C)

•
If there are signs of condensation after the recommended acclimation time has
passed, allow an additional eight (8) hours to stabilize.
•
Systems and components must not experience changes in temperature and
humidity that are likely to cause condensation to form on or in that system or
component. Do not exceed the shipping and storage temperature gradient of
45°F/hr (25°C/hr).
Unpacking a part
Procedure
1
Wear ESD gloves or attach an ESD wristband to your wrist and the enclosure in which you are
installing the part.
2
Unpack the part and place it on a static-free surface.
