A small business would like to install their new storage equipment in a closet off of their pool deck. Which of the following environmental concerns should a technician consider FIRST?

While fire suppression is important for server rooms, humidity poses a more direct and immediate threat to electronics in a pool-adjacent location.

A closet off a pool deck is highly susceptible to high humidity levels, which can cause condensation and corrosion on electronic components, making humidity control the primary environmental concern for sensitive equipment like storage.

Sufficient power is a general infrastructure requirement but not the first environmental concern specifically introduced by the 'pool deck' location.

Rack loading is a physical structural concern for the equipment itself, not an environmental concern related to the pool deck proximity.
