Environmental specifications

Summary of the environmental specifications of solution. Depending on the model, some features might not be available, or some specifications might not apply.

Attention

Environment quality must be maintain over the lifetime of the system to receive warranty and support on affecting components. For water quality requirement, see Lenovo Neptune Direct Water-Cooling Standards.

Note
  • Up to eight SC750 V4 trays can be installed in an N1380 13U enclosure.

  • Each SC750 V4 tray contains two compute nodes, node A and node B. Node A is the bottom node and node B is the top node when viewing the tray from the front of the N1380 enclosure.

  • Access one set of monitor (VGA port) and keyboard/mouse (USB port) peripheral per N1380 enclosure at a time is recommended per radiated emission compliance.

Environment
  • Air temperature requirements:
    • Operating:

      • ASHRAE class A3: 5°C - 40°C (41°F - 104°F); when the altitude exceeds 900 m (2953 ft), the maximum ambient temperature value decreases by 1°C (1.8°F) with every 175 m (574 ft) of altitude increase.

    • Powered off: 5°C - 45°C (41°F - 113°F)

    • Shipping/storage: -40°C - 60°C (-40°F - 140°F)

  • Relative humidity (non-condensing):

    • Operating: ASHRAE Class A3: 8% - 85%, maximum dew point : 24°C (75°F)

    • Shipment/storage: 8% - 90%

  • Maximum altitude: 3048 m (10 000 ft)

Note
The solution is designed for standard data center environment and recommended to be placed in industrial data center.

Water requirements — water flow rates

Water requirements — water flow rates
Attention
The water required to initially fill the system side cooling loop must be reasonably clean, bacteria-free water (<100 CFU/ml) such as de-mineralized water, reverse osmosis water, de-ionized water, or distilled water. The water must be filtered with an in-line 50 micron filter (approximately 288 mesh). The water must be treated with anti-biological and anti-corrosion measures. Environment quality must be maintain over the lifetime of the system to receive warranty and support on affecting components. For more information please see Lenovo Neptune Direct Water-Cooling Standards.
Water flow rates
  • 45°C water temperature

    • Water flow rate per SC750 V4 tray: 3.0 lpm

    • Water flow rate per PCS : 2.8 lpm

    • Water flow rate per enclosure: the sum of 3.0 lpm*(the number of trays) and 2.8 lpm*(the number of PCS)

  • 40°C water temperature

    • Water flow rate per SC750 V4 tray: 2.8 lpm

    • Water flow rate per PCS : 2.5 lpm

    • Water flow rate per enclosure: the sum of 2.8 lpm*(the number of trays) and 2.5 lpm*(the number of PCS)

  • 32°C water temperature

    • Water flow rate per SC750 V4 tray: 2.2 lpm

    • Water flow rate per PCS : 2.0 lpm

    • Water flow rate per enclosure: the sum of 2.2 lpm*(the number of trays) and 2.0 lpm*(the number of PCS)

  • 27°C water temperature

    • Water flow rate per SC750 V4 tray: 2.2 lpm

    • Water flow rate per PCS : 2.0 lpm

    • Water flow rate per enclosure: the sum of 2.2 lpm*(the number of trays) and 2.0 lpm*(the number of PCS)

  • For example, when an N1380 enclosure is installed with eight SC750 V4 trays and four PCS, and the water temperature is 45°C, the enclosure water flow rate is 35.2 lpm (3.0 lpm*8 and 2.8 lpm*4)
