Environmental considerations

Place the server on a level surface in a clean, dust-free, and well- 
ventilated area free from:

❖

Direct sunlight

❖

Vibration

❖

Liquids and corrosive chemicals

CAUTION: If you spill liquid into the server, turn it off, 
unplug it from the AC power source, and let it dry out 
completely before turning it on again. If the server does not 
operate correctly after you turn it back on, contact a Toshiba 
authorized service provider.

❖

Equipment that generates a strong electromagnetic field, such 
as large motors or speaker phones

❖

Rapid changes in temperature or humidity and sources of 
temperature change such as air conditioner vents, fans, or 
heaters 

❖

Extreme heat, cold, or humidity. Use the server within the 
following range of ambient conditions:

Temperature: 50° F to 95° F (10º C to 35º C)
Relative humidity: 30% to 80% RH (no condensation)

❖

If the server is exposed to conditions that could result in 
condensation accumulating on the server’s cabinet or it’s 
internal components, wait one to two hours before operating 
the server.
