Hardware acclimation
Systems and components must acclimate to the operating environment before power is
applied to them. Once unpackaged, the system must reside in the operating environment
for up to 16 hours to thermally stabilize and prevent condensation.
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:

IMPORTANT:
l
If there are signs of condensation after the recommended acclimation time has
passed, allow an additional eight (8) hours to stabilize.
l
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).
l
To facilitate environmental stabilization, open both front and rear cabinet doors.
