Hardware acclimation times
Systems and components must acclimate to the operating environment before
applying power. This requires the unpackaged system or component to reside in the
operating environment for up to 16 hours in order to thermally stabilize and prevent
condensation.

If the last 24 hours of the
TRANSIT/STORAGE
environment was this:
…and the OPERATING
environment is this:
…then let the system
or component

If there are signs of condensation after the recommended acclimation time has
passed, allow an additional eight (8) hours to stabilize.
l
Systems and components must not experience changes in temperature and
humidity that are likely to cause condensation to form on or in that system or
component. Do not exceed the shipping and storage temperature gradient of
45°F/hr (25°C/hr).
