Specifications

The following information is a summary of the features and specifications of the solution. Depending on the model, some features might not be available, or some specifications might not apply.

Enclosure specifications​

Table 1. Enclosure specifications
SpecificationDescription
Power supplySupports six hot-swap ac power supplies
  • 1300-watt ac

Important

  1. Power supplies and redundant power supplies in the enclosure must be with the same power rating, wattage or efficiency Level.

  2. Power supplies with 240 V dc are not hot-swappable. To remove the power cord, ensure you have turned off the server or disconnected the dc power sources at the breaker panel.

  3. In order for the ThinkSystem products to operate error free in both a DC or AC electrical environment, a TN-S earthing system which complies to 60364-1 IEC 2005 standard has to be present or installed.

Water requirement
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.

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.

The SD650 tray complies with ASHRAE class A2 specifications.
The SD650 tray is supported in the following environment:
  • Water Temperature:

    • Operating: ASHRAE class W4: 2 - 45°C (35.6 - 113°F)

      Note
      The SD650 tray supports up to 50°C for special configurations and for end-users with sufficient data center operating conditions.Consult your local Lenovo representative for more information.
  • Air temperature:

    • Operating: ASHRAE class A2: 10 - 35°C (50 - 95°F); when the altitude exceeds 900 m (2953 ft), the maximum ambient temperature value decreases by 1°C (1.8°F) with every 300 m (984 ft) of altitude increase.

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

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

  • Maximum altitude: 3048 m (10 000 ft)

  • Relative Humidity (non-condensing):

    • Operating:

      • ASHRAE Class A2: 8% - 80%, maximum dew point : 21°C (70°F)

    • Shipment/storage: 8% - 90%

  • Particulate contamination:

    Airborne particulates and reactive gases acting alone or in combination with other environmental factors such as humidity or temperature might pose a risk to the solution. For information about the limits for particulates and gases, see Particulate contamination.

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