Storage and Shipping Environments
Before using a disc, let it acclimate to the operating environment by placing the
disc in the environment for as long as it has been away from the environment or
for 24 hours, whichever is less.
Retrieval of archived data should be performed on a unit that is clean and fully
operational. Try to make the recovery environment the same as the operating
environment. Allow discs at least 24 hours to acclimate to environment of the unit.
Acclimation is necessary for any discs exposed to a different humidity environment
or to temperature changes of 11°C (20°F) or more.
The recommended environment for storage and shipment of discs is shown in
Table 16.
