Operating Environment Requirements
Your environmental control system must provide intake air for the server that
complies with the limits specified in
“Environmental Specifications” on page 2
To avoid overheating,
do not
direct warm air toward these areas of the server:
■
The front air intake of the server
■
The server access panels
Note –
When you receive your server, place it in the environment in which you will
install it. Leave the server in its shipping crate at its final destination for 24 hours.
This resting period prevents thermal shock and condensation.
Operating computer equipment in extreme temperatures or humidity conditions
increases the failure rate of hardware components. To minimize the chance of
component failure, use the server within the optimal temperature and humidity
ranges.

Electrical Power
Connect each power supply to a separate circuit if possible. This redundancy enables
the server to remain operational if one of the circuits fails. Consult your local
electrical codes for any additional requirements.
