Configuring a Storwize V3700 system to be NEBS compliant

For operation in Network Equipment-Building System (NEBS) compliant
installations, the Storwize V3700 system can be configured to extend its operational
temperature range to meet NEBS operating temperature requirements.
Note: The Storwize V3700 system might not be able to save its cache and state
data if the power fails while it is operating within the extended temperature range.
This is because the battery capacity decreases as temperature rises. If the save of
cache and state data cannot be completed, an extended service action is required to
recover the system and data might be lost. Keep the temperature within the
normal operating range if possible, and maintain a reliable power supply.
