Acclimatization - HP P10000 Manual

Figure 4 Total Area Required for Unpacking an HP P10000 3PAR Storage System
The specific amount of space you will need to unpack the server is based on the dimensions of the
container, the ramp and the room required to access the server so that it can be moved to its
placement destination.
NOTE: See "Structural/Environmental Considerations" (page 18)"Providing for Service Access"
(page 25) for more information on placing the storage systems and reserving room for service
access.

Acclimatization

HP 3PAR Storage Systems shipped or stored at extreme temperatures may require time to adjust
to operating temperatures before start-up. The maximum acceptable rate of temperature change
for a non-operating system is 18° F/hr (10° C/hr). The storage server requires time to acclimatize
to new environmental conditions before being powered on. During that time, it is possible to
proceed with the physical installation of the storage server; however, the storage server may need
at least 24 hours to acclimatize to a new environment prior to completing the full system installation.
If condensation is present even after the 24 hour acclimatization period, it is necessary to wait
until all condensation has evaporated before completing the power-on sequence.
