I believe environmental issues are addressed in the "Planning for
Installation Guide" (or similar - the exact name escapes me right now).

This may not help ,but we have a 520, a 515 and 800. This with two racks
loaded with about 25 win tel servers and a ups large enough to power the
room for 2.5 hours. Having stated this, we maintain 70 degrees. Just
this week we lost utility power at 2:30 in the afternoon. It took 10
minutes to reach 90 degrees in the computer center. Only took ten
seconds for me to tell the ops manager to start the orderly shutdown.
Power was down for 4 hours. The a/c is deliberately not wired to the
ups. If it was, the batteries would die in 15 minutes!

Subject: Temperature
I have expressed concern that I think the temperature in our
computer room is excessive & may detract from life expectancy
of our computer, which in turn will advance the date at which
we have to pay exorbitant cost of moving our BPCS license to
another box.
All I was asking for was an exhaust fan to suck the hot air,
out of the computer room, where often the door is left shut
because people not want to hear noise of printer. I think
printer noise is barely noticeable.
I have been asked what is the maximum prudent temperature is
Ok to run our AS/400 model 170, and what is its optimal
temperature range. I used to know. I forgot where to look
that up.
I think there's also a humidity factor, but I have not
noticed that being opperessive.
