*1 No condensation is assumed regardless of temperature and humidity conditions.
*2 Only the SPARC M10-1 and the PCI expansion unit can be installed in an office. Install the SPARC M10-4/M10-
4S in a dedicated room such as a server room.
*3 All the altitudes indicate heights above sea level.
2.5.1 Ambient temperature
To maintain system reliability and operator comfort, the optimal ambient temperature
is 21°C or higher but less than 23°C (70°F or higher but less than 74°F). This
temperature range makes it easy to maintain the relative humidity. While the system
is operating within this range, even a failure of the air conditioning facilities does not
cause it to suddenly stop.
2.5.2 Ambient relative humidity
To process data safely, the optimal ambient relative humidity is 45% or higher but
less than 50%. The reasons for this are as follows:
■
A humidity in the optimum range can protect the system from corrosion issues
caused by high humidity
■
A humidity in the optimum range means that even a failure of the air conditioning
facilities does not cause the system to suddenly stop
■
A humidity in the optimum range can prevent failures and malfunctions caused
by electrostatic discharge
A relative humidity that is too low is conducive to generating a static electricity
discharge. The resulting intermittent interference may cause a failure or temporary
malfunction.
Electrostatic discharge is more likely to occur and harder to
eliminate at locations
with a relative humidity below 35%. Electrostatic discharge becomes a critical issue
