The specifications for an IBM e-server X230 I have: Operating conditions: Temperature: 10-35 Celcius (50-95F) Altitude: 0-6000 ft altitude Humidity: 8-80% Relative Humidity Of course these are the IBM specs. but should be similar for other hardware. Extreme temperatures or condensing humidity may be a problem. - Scott To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
