1.6 Thermal Stabilization
Thermal stabilization prevents temperature differences between the disk or
tape drive and its environment from damaging the disk drive’s components.
CAUTION
The thermal stabilization procedure is mandatory. Do not open the
moisture barrier bag until the thermal stabilization period is complete.
Prior to installation, the DECArray300 cabinet system and/or add-on storage
elements must be stored at a temperature of 60 degrees F (16 degrees C) or
higher for a minimum of 24 hours. This equipment may be stored either in
the computer room or in another storage room under controlled temperature
conditions. If stored in another storage room, the equipment must remain for
an additional hour in the computer room in which it will be installed.
Refer to the Storage Element Manuals for details about thermal stabilization
of the storage elements.
After the thermal stabilization criteria have been met, carefully cut and
remove the moisture barrier bag. Proceed with the installation.
