Abstract
Acclimation of newly commissioned IT equipment is an important step that is necessary for safe operations. Proper acclimation is required to prevent an unnecessary condensation from forming and causing premature failure in the equipment. Acclimation is particularly important in cold weather shipping where the component or server reaches the destination well below the destination data center’s dew point, resulting in moisture and condensate. Operating the equipment before it acclimates might cause damage, while waiting too long for the equipment to acclimate might cost companies expensive computational time. This study tries to address the issue by studying the various factors that affect acclimation and prioritizing them. The goal of this project is to understand the factors that influence the acclimation time and develop a method to predict how long one needs to wait before a component can be installed into the server or the server can be turned on
