Environmental specifications
This section describes about environmental specification.
The following table provides the environmental specifications for the DLm system:
Table 18 DLm environmental data
Condition Limits
Operating temperature 50 °F–90°F (10 °C–32°C)
Operating altitude (at 32°) 7500 ft (2286 m)
Operating altitude (maximum) 10,000 ft (3048 m) 1.1° derating per 1000 ft
Operating humidity 20% to 80% non-condensing
Raised floor environment - for DLm8500 only Recommended but not required
Air flow
This section describes about air flow direction for cooling the system, and
environmental requirements for shipping and storage.
The following table lists the required environmental conditions during shipping and
storage of the DLm system:
Note:
The air flow direction for cooling the systems should be from front to rear.
Table 19 Environmental requirements for shipping and storage
Condition Setting
Ambient temperature -40°F to 149°F (-40°C to 65°C)
Temperature gradient 43.2°F/hr (24°C/hr)
Relative humidity 10% to 90% non-condensing
Maximum altitude 35,000 ft (10667.6 m)
Environment acclimation
This section provides an overview of environmental acclimation for a DLm system.
A DLm system requires time to get acclimated to a computer room environment
before and after you unpack it. Before unpacking the unit, allow it to stabilize for 16
hours. After unpacking the unit, do not connect it to AC power for at least the number
of hours specified in the following table.
The following table lists the environmental acclimation:
