You should not see any condensation in or around the disk array under any
conditions. There is no procedure for recovery from moisture condensation.
Mechanical vibration
Continuous vibration can cause a slow degradation of mechanical parts
and, when severe, can cause data errors in disk drives. Mechanical
connections such as printed circuit assembly (PCA) conductors, cable
connectors, and processor backplane wiring can also be affected by
vibrations. Vibration specifications apply to all three axes.
