at room temperature.   
Observe the storage conditions  (Temperature: 

10

°

C  to  55

°

C, Humidity:  20%  to  80%,  No 

condensation of moisture) to store the server. 
 

 

If this server, internal optional devices, and media set for the backup devices  (tape cartridges) are 
moved from a cold place to a warm place in a short time, condensation will occur and cause 
malfunctions and failures when  these are used in such state. To protect important stored data and 
property, make sure to wait for a sufficient period to use the server and components in the operating 
environment. 
Reference: Time effective at avoiding condensation in winter (10

°

C or more differences between the 

room temperature and atmospheric temperature) 

Disk devices: Approximately 2 to 3 hours 
Tape media: Approximately 1 day 

 

For optional devices, we recommend you use our NEC products. Some memory or Hard Disk Drive 
manufactured by other companies are supported for use with this server, however, you will be 
charged to repair failure or damage caused by use of such products even within warranty period.
