Getting Started
Extreme heat, cold, or humidity. Use the server within the following range of ambient
conditions:
Temperature: 50° F to 95° F (10° C to 35° C)
Relative humidity: 30% to 80% RH (no condensation)
CAUTION: Condensation can corrode server components and short-circuit its
electrical circuits if the unit is on. Avoid exposing the server to condensation during
use and storage.
If the server is exposed to conditions that could result in condensation accumulating
on the server's cabinet or its internal components, wait one to two hours before
operating the server.
HINT: To inspect the server for moisture, remove the side panel. For instructions on
removing the side panel, see
