Operating Environment Requirements
Your environmental control system must provide intake air for the server that
complies with the limits specified in
To avoid overheating, do not direct warmed air:

■
Toward the server access panels
■
Note – When you receive your server, place it in the environment where 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.
The servers have been tested to meet all functional requirements when operating in

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
Good practice is to connect each power supply to a separate circuit. This redundancy
enables the system to remain operational if one of the circuits fails. Consult your
local electrical codes for any additional requirements.
