When the equipment arrives, you must make sure that there is enough room to unload and unpack
the storage system.
The specific amount of space you will need to unpack the storage system is based on the dimensions
of the container, the ramp, and the room required to access the storage system so that it can be
moved to its placement destination.
NOTE: See “Structural/Environmental Considerations” (page 19) for more information on placing
the storage systems and reserving room for service access.
Acclimatization
Storage systems are shipped or stored at extreme temperatures and may require time to adjust to
operating temperatures before startup. The maximum acceptable rate of temperature change for
a non-operating system is 68° F/hour (20° C/hour). 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.
