from the planning manual - online http://www.as400.ibm.com/tstudio/planning/environ/temp.htm olderr manuals had the following Most server units and devices operate best between 18° C (65° F) and 29° C (85° F). We recommend an optimal temperature of 24° C (76° F). Check system requirements for thermal output and temperature ranges to help figure out your temperature environment newer stuff (but couldn't find new system requirements-kept taking me to old pages REQUIREMENTS for disk expansion towers for 820 & 830 Operating 10° to 38° C (50° to 100.4° F) Non-Operating 1° to 60° C (33.8° to 140° F) quite a diff from 85 to 100? jim ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pete Hall" <pbhall@execpc.com> To: <MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com> Sent: Friday, April 06, 2001 10:37 PM Subject: Re: internal temperature > I had an old CISC box melt down at 120F once on a Sunday when nobody was > around.
