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

Acoustical noise emissions
The server has the following acoustic noise emissions declaration:
  • Sound power level (LWAd)
    • Idling:
      • Minimum: 4.2 Bel
      • Typical: 4.1 Bel
      • GPU : 4.1 Bel
    • Operating profile 1:
      • Minimum: 4.2 Bel
      • Typical: 4.1 Bel
      • GPU : 4.1 Bel
    • Operating profile 2:
      • Minimum: 5.0 Bel
      • Typical: 4.9 Bel
      • GPU : 5.0 Bel
  • Sound pressure level (LpAm):
    • Idling:
      • Minimum: 25.3 dBA
      • Typical: 25.7 dBA
      • GPU: 25.3 dBA
    • Operating profile 1:
      • Minimum: 25.3 dBA
      • Typical: 25.9 dBA
      • GPU : 25.3 dBA
    • Operating profile 2:
      • Minimum: 34.3 dBA
      • Typical: 34.1 dBA
      • GPU : 33.9 dBA
Note
  • These sound levels were measured in controlled acoustical environments according to procedures specified by ISO7779 and are reported in accordance with ISO 9296. Operating profile 1 is represented by 50% CPU TDP. Operating profile 2 is represented by 100% CPU TDP or 70%/30% storage write/read or 100% GPU. Testing was conducted at 23°C ± 2°C to align with ISO7779.
  • The declared acoustic sound levels are based on the specified configurations, which may change depending on configuration/conditions.
    • Minimum configuration: Intel Ultra5 processors, 2x 8GB DDR5 CSODIMMs, 1x SATA M.2 boot drive.
    • Typical configuration: Intel Ultra7 processors, 2x 32GB DDR5 CSODIMMs, 1x 480GB NVMe M.2 boot drives, 2x 1.92TB NVMe storage M.2 drives.
    • GPU configuration: Intel Ultra7 processors, 2x 32GB DDR5 CSODIMMs, 1x 480GB NVMe M.2 boot drives, 1x 960GB NVMe storage M.2 drives, 1x Nvida RTX2000E ada GPU
  • Government regulations (such as those prescribed by OSHA or European Community Directives) may govern noise level exposure in the workplace and may apply to you and your server installation. The actual sound pressure levels in your installation depend upon a variety of factors, including the number of racks in the installation; the size, materials, and configuration of the room; the noise levels from other equipment; the room ambient temperature, and employee's location in relation to the equipment. Further, compliance with such government regulations depends on a variety of additional factors, including the duration of employees' exposure and whether employees wear hearing protection. Lenovo recommends that you consult with qualified experts in this field to determine whether you are in compliance with the applicable regulations.
Ambient temperature management
ThinkEdge SE100 (Type 7DGR) supports most of the configurations operating at temperature of 45°C or lower. Adjust ambient temperature when specific components are installed:

  • The following components can operate at temperature of 45°C or lower and require proper ambient temperature and redundant cooling by the fans to prevent performance degradation:

    • When one of the following components is installed, keep ambient temperature lower than 40°C for proper operation. When the ambient temperature is over 40°C, performance degradation might occur.
      • NVMe M.2 storage drives
    • When one of the following components is installed, keep ambient temperature lower than 35°C for proper operation. When the ambient temperature is over 35°C, performance degradation might occur.
      • NVMe M.2 boot drives
  • The following components can operate at temperature of 35°C or lower and require proper system cooling with N+1 fan redundancy.
    • GPU adapter
Environment
ThinkEdge SE100 complies with ASHRAE Class A4 specifications. System performance may be impacted when operating temperature is outside AHSARE A4 specification or fan failed condition outside A2 Specification. ThinkEdge SE100 is supported in the following environment:
  • Air temperature:
    • Operating
      • ASHARE Class A2: 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F); the maximum ambient temperature decreases by 1°C for every 300 m (984 ft) increase in altitude above 900 m (2,953 ft).
      • ASHARE Class A3: 5°C to 40°C (41°F to 104°F); the maximum ambient temperature decreases by 1°C for every 175m (574 ft) increase in altitude above 900 m (2,953 ft).
      • ASHARE Class A4: 5°C to 45°C (41°F to 113°F); the maximum ambient temperature decreases by 1°C for every 125m (410 ft) increase in altitude above 900 m (2,953 ft).
    • Server off: 5°C to 45°C (41°F to 113°F)
  • Maximum altitude: 3,050 m (10,000 ft)
  • Relative Humidity (non-condensing):
    • Operating: Operating: 8% to 90%, maximum dew point: 24°C (75.2°F)
    • Shipment/storage: 8% to 90%, maximum dew point: 27°C (80.6°F)
    • Non-operating (unpacked) storage can pass the following condition: 5% to 95% at 38.7°C (101.7°F) maximum dry-bulb temperature for 48 hrs.
  • Particulate contamination
    • ThinkEdge SE100 complies with IP5X Ingress Protection per ANSI/IEC60529-2020 Degrees of Protection Provided by Enclosures (IP Code).
      Note
      PCIe expansion kit installed with your server does not comply with IP5X standard.
