Acclimation

|
Server and storage equipment (racks and frames) must be gradually acclimated to the surrounding
|
environment to prevent condensation.
|
When server and storage equipment (racks and frames) is shipped in a climate where the outside
|
temperature is below the dew point of the destination (indoor location), there is a possibility that water
|
condensation can form on the cooler inside and outside surfaces of the equipment when the equipment is
|
| brought indoors.
Sufficient time must be allowed for the shipped equipment to gradually reach thermal equilibrium with
|
| the indoor environment before you remove the shipping bag and energize the equipment. Follow these
guidelines to properly acclimate your equipment:
|
v Leave the system in the shipping bag. If the installation or staging environment allows it, leave the
|
product in the full package to minimize condensation on or within the equipment.
