    Preparing for installation Safety recommendations Safety symbols When reading this document, note the following symbols: WARNING means an alert that calls attention to important information that if not understood or followed can result in personal injury. CAUTION means an alert that calls attention to important information that if not understood or followed can result in data loss, data corruption, or damage to hardware or software.
  • Page 9: Cleanliness

    Table 1 Temperature and humidity requirements Temperature Relative humidity 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F) 5% to 90%, noncondensing Cleanliness Dust buildup on the chassis might result in electrostatic adsorption, which causes poor contact of metal components and contact points, especially when indoor relative humidity is low. In the worst case, electrostatic adsorption can cause communication failure.
