This topic provides a summary of the features and specifications of the chassis.

See Table 1. Rate of heat-dissipation calculations for forced-air fan cooling are provided in Table 2.
Table 1. Chassis features and specifications.

The features and specifications table is a two-column table where each column lists the features and specifications of the Lenovo Flex System Carrier-Grade chassis Type 7385.

Features and specifications
Node bays (on front): The chassis has fourteen node bays that support any of the following configurations:

The chassis can also support a combination of 1-bay and 2-bay compute nodes.
Note
  • A 1-bay compute node occupies one node bay in the chassis.
  • A 2-bay compute node occupies two adjacent node bays (horizontally) in the chassis and requires the chassis shelf to be removed prior to installation.

  1. Water to air ratio must never exceed 0.026 kg H20/ kg dry air.
  2. Derate maximum allowable temperature 1°C/213 m above 1829 m. Also note that this maximum temperature is for a self-standing system, not located in a rack. If in a rack, deduct 5°C.
  3. 30°C/hr for data centers employing disk drives, tape drives are not used.
  4. The equipment acclimation period is 1 hour per 30°C of temperature change from the shipping/storage environment to the operating environment.
