HP 3PAR StoreServ 7450 Storage Installation Guide

NOTE: See HP 3PAR StoreServ 7450 Storage Site Planning Manual for more information on
placing the storage systems and reserving room for service access.
Acclimatization
Storage systems are shipped or stored at extreme temperatures and may require time to adjust to
operating temperatures before startup. The maximum acceptable rate of temperature change for
a non-operating system is 68° F/hour (20° C/hour). The storage system 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 system. However, the storage system 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.
