Systems and components must acclimate to the operating environment before
applying power. This requires the unpackaged system or component to reside in the
operating environment for up to 16 hours in order to thermally stabilize and prevent
condensation.
Table 1 on page 10 helps you determine the precise amount of stabilization time
required.

If the last 24 hours of the
TRANSIT/STORAGE
environment was this:
Temperature Humidity
Nominal 68-72°F Nominal
(20-22°C) 40-55% RH
...and the OPERATING
environment is this:
Nominal 68-72°F (20-22°C)
40-55% RH
...then let the system
or component
acclimate in the new
environment this many
hours:
