3.3.3 Acclimatization
InServ Storage Servers shipped or stored at extreme temperatures may require time to adjust
to operating temperatures before start-up. The maximum acceptable rate of temperature
change for a non-operating system is 18 °F/hr (10°C/hr). The storage server requires time to
acclimatize to new environmental conditions before being powered on. During that time, it is
possible to proceed with the physical installation of the storage server; however, the storage
server may need at least 24 hours to acclimatize to a new environment prior to completing the
full system installation. If condensation is present even after the 24 hour acclimatization
period, it is necessary to wait until all condensation has evaporated before completing the
power-on sequence.
3.4 Administering Management Workstations
For ease in administering the storage server, you can install the InForm Administration Tools on
one or more management workstations.
Refer to the configuration matrix for the supported operating environments for storage
system management software as well as the InForm OS Administrator’s Guide and the InForm
OS Command Line Interface Reference for additional system requirements before installing
management software.
