Solve : what ideal special conditions should computer hardware be kept

1.	Solve : what ideal special conditions should computer hardware be kept in??
Answer» i know some rough guesses ( common sense) but I need more specific answer for a assessment on a basic computer module, please help. Your question is very broad. In general, electronic equipment of any kind has to be protected from high temperature, high humidity, high altitude, high dust levels, high radiation of any kind, high smoke levels, high oxygen levels and excessive G force. Most electronics can be stored in a container filled with anhydrous nitrogen at about none atmosphere of pressure. The storage temperature depends of the materials used. Normally form -25 to +75 Celsius for most materials. Any INDUSTRIAL module you buy should have a full disclosure of environmental LIMITS. Note that operational limits and storage limits differ. Parisa, could you provide a bit more information about what you want to store and for how long and what purpose so someone here can give you a less ridiculous reply?Quote from: quaxo on May 18, 2011, 10:00:02 PM Parisa, could you provide a bit more information about what you want to store and for how long and what purpose so someone here can give you a less ridiculous reply?

Quote from: quaxo on May 18, 2011, 10:00:02 PM a less ridiculous reply I don't think that reply of Geek's was "ridiculous" at all. The OP clearly stated that the information is needed to help him/her answer a test for some kind of class he/she is taking. It should be abundantly clear, EVEN to the most inattentive, careless, point-scoring, shoot-from-the-hip reader (I would have thought!) that he/she is not actually planning to store anything. I am afraid it may also be clear that he/she thinks that asking a question in a forum constitutes "research", but at least Geek gave him/her a starting point to think about and develop. Which is unlike some other people. Just Googling for "Computer hardware storage conditions" or something similar would be a start. Also a VISIT to a library might be a good idea. Possibly a deadline looms? This document by Oracle I link to below talks about environmental conditions in data centres (or "centers" as they seem to prefer) but we have no idea if the OP is thinking of computer systems and equipment in a running state or systems and parts in store or transit or just generally. Keep it dry and cool and away from certain chemicals and mechanical shocks is a good general rule! http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19065-01/servers.e25k/805-5863-13/ch3.html Totally agree with ST re Geek's answer. Given the EXTREMELY broad nature of the question i think the answer was very comprehensive and inclusive. However the temptation to ascribe to reddevilggg's suspicion is strong. I suppose we shall have further enlightenment on that score if the O/P ever comes back with further input (which i doubt will occur).truenorthMy apologies. I misread the first post and it made Geek's reply seem like a silly remark, when in fact he was answering the question and I was being silly. Sorry about that.
