Acclimatization
HP 3PAR Storage systems shipped or stored at extreme temperatures may require time to adjust
to operating temperatures before starting up. The maximum acceptable rate of temperature change
for a non-operating system is 18° F/hr (10° C/hr). The storage system 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 system; however, the storage system 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.
