[comp.os.vms] machine room environments

Hi, all.  I have a question regarding machine room environments.  The
official word from DEC as regards my 8530 is that it needs a room temperature
between 65-75F.  A humidity is also specified but I can't remember what it is.
My question is this: how rigid is this?  My machine room is almost always
at the high end of this range, and frequently a little bit over.  Is it
possible to cause damage from continued operation at temperatures that are,
say, between 75 and 80F?  If not, at what point do you start to get damage?

Thanks to all for help.  If people don't think this is of general interest,
I will summarize and post.
