Environmental Requirements - Oracle Sun SPARC T3-2 Installation Manual

Environmental Requirements

Install and operate the server in a site with an ambient temperature range of 21˚C
(69.8˚F) to 23˚C (73.4˚F), which is an optimal range for server reliability. At 22˚C
(71.6˚F) it is easy to maintain safe relative humidity levels. Operating in this
temperature range provides a buffer if the environmental support systems fail.
Operating the server in a site with ambient relative humidity levels between 45% and
50% prevents corrosion, provides an operating time buffer in the event of
environmental control system failure, and helps avoid failures caused by static
discharges that occur when relative humidity is too low.
Note – Electrostatic discharge is easily generated and less easily dissipated in areas
where the relative humidity is below 35%, and becomes critical when levels drop
below 30%.
The server has been tested to meet all functional requirements when operating in the
operating environmental limits listed in the table below (all values are for a single,
non-rackmounted server).
