Environment:
v Air temperature:
– Server on: 10°C to 35°C (50°F to
95°F); altitude: 0 to 914.4 m (3000 ft),
decrease system temperature by
1.0°C for every 1000-foot increase in
altitude
– Server off: 5°C to 45°C (41°F to
113°F); maximum altitude: 3048 m
(10000 ft)
– Shipment: -40°C to 60°C
(-40°F to 140°F); maximum altitude:
3048 m (10000 ft)
v Humidity:
– Server on: 20% to 80%; maximum
dew point: 21°C; maximum rate of
change: 5 °C/hr
– Server off: 8% to 80%; maximum dew
point: 27°C
v Particulate contamination:
Attention: Airborne particulates and
reactive gases acting alone or in
combination with other environmental
factors such as humidity or temperature
might pose a risk to the server. For
information about the limits for
particulates and gases, see "Particulate
contamination" on page 131.
Heat output:
