Check training records to ensure that all required personnel have received their initial and periodic (minimum annually) environmental control training (specifically humidity/temperature).
Ask personnel how they respond to an environmental alarm.
NOTES: This requirement should not be applied to a tactical environment, unless it is a fixed computer facility supporting missions in a Theater of Operations. The standards to be applied for applicability in a tactical environment are:
1) The facility containing the computer room has been in operation for more than one year.
2) The facility is "fixed facility" - a hard building made from normal construction materials - wood, steel, brick, stone, mortar, etc.
Fix Text (F-49135r769908_fix)
