Stabilizing the System
If temperature and humidity changes have been extreme during transit, the ftServer
system might develop condensation. Therefore, before you install and power on the
system, you must inspect it for condensation and, if necessary, stabilize it. To stabilize
a system, let it stand, unpacked and without its plastic wrap, in the open air of an office
environment.
1. Inspect the system for condensation. Use the guidelines in
if the system requires a stabilization period before you install it and power it on.
