Operating 20% to 80% Non-operating 5% to 95% 1 2 All temperature ratings shown are for sea level. An altitude derating of 1°C per 304.8 m (1.8°F per 1000 ft) to 3048 m (10,000 ft) is applicable. No direct sunlight allowed. Upper operating limit is 3,048 m (10,000 ft) or 70 Kpa/10.1 psia. Upper non-operating limit is 9,144 m (30,000 ft) or 30.3 KPa/4.4 psia. Storage maximum humidity of 95% is based on a maximum temperature of 45°C (113°F).

Verifying site preparation Verifying site preparation is an essential factor of a successful server blade installation, and includes the following tasks: • Gather LAN information. Determine the two IP addresses for the iLO 3 MP LAN and the server blade LAN. • Establish a method to connect to the server blade console. For more information on console connection methods, see the HP Integrity BL860c i2, BL870c i2 & BL890c i2 Server Blade User Service Guide. • Verify electrical requirements.
