Acclimatizing
CAUTION: To prevent potential damage to storage system hardware, do not power on the storage
system until it is fully acclimatized. The maximum acceptable rate of temperature change for a
nonoperating storage system is 36° F/hour (20° C/hour). If the storage system or its components
have experienced environmental changes during transit, allow enough time for the storage system
to acclimatize before proceeding with the power-on sequence.
Before powering on the HPE 3PAR StoreServ 9000 Storage system, the storage system might require up
to 24 hours to acclimatize to the new operating environment when outside-to-inside conditions vary
significantly.
Procedure
If condensation is present even after the 24-hour acclimatization period, wait for all condensation to fully
evaporate before completing the power-on sequence.
