Lenovo products are designed to work with a range of compatible chargers and different chargers may be shipped in box or purchased subsequently. A list of suitable chargers can be found on the EU Declaration of Conformity (DoC) accessible here (EU Declaration of Conformity (DoC)). In order to access the applicable energy efficiency information for your charger, please access the following web page, search for your product using the full model number and select the applicable user guide or power supply data sheet.

Acoustical noise emissions (base configuration)

  • Operation:
    • Minimum: 5.3 bels

    • Typical: 5.4 bels

    • Maximum: 5.7 bels

  • Idle
    • Minimum: 4.9 bels

    • Typical: 5.0 bels

    • Maximum: 5.4 bels

Note
  1. These sound power levels are measured in controlled acoustical environments according to procedures specified by ISO 7779 and are reported in accordance with ISO 9296.

  2. The declared acoustic noise levels are based on specified configurations, which may change slightly depending on configurations/conditions.

  3. The options supported in this server vary in function, power consumption, and required cooling. Any increase in cooling required by these options will increase the fan speed and generated sound level. The actual sound pressure levels measured 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 of other equipment; the room ambient temperature and barometric pressure; and the location of employees in relation to the equipment.

Heat output

Approximate heat output:
  • Minimum configuration: 287.46 BTU per hour (84.25 watts)
  • Maximum configuration : 783.02 BTU per hour (229.49 watts)

Electrical input

Power distribution module: 12V PDM
  • Supports 12.2V/20A per power adapter

  • Each node supports up to two power adapters

Power distribution module: -48V PDM

  • -48V - -60V DC / 8.4 A max direct -48V input

Note
  • Power redundancy is in dual power mode when system power consumption is under 210W.

  • System operates in capping/throttling mode when power resource is insufficient.

  • Install two power adapters when system power consumption is higher than 210W.

Cautions and regulatory compliance statements for NEBS

Follow NEBS GR-1089-CORE cautions, regulatory compliance statements, and requirements.

  • Supports Common Bonding Network (CBN) installation.

  • System can be installed in network telecommunication facilities where the National Electric Code applies.

  • It is required to turn ON UEFI Power Restore Policy when set the test condition in MIN OPERATING VOLTAGE

  • The 1Gb Ethernet and SFP+ cables evaluated by NEBS measurement are required shielded.

  • The typical system boot up time under NEBS section 4 evaluation is 4 minutes and 55 seconds.

  • WARNING: The intra-building port(s) (1Gb Ethernet and SFP+ ports) of the equipment or subassembly is suitable for connection to intra-building or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly MUST NOT be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring for more than 6 meters (approximately 20 feet). These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 port as described in GR-1089) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to an OSP wiring system.

  • Particulate contamination

    Attention
    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 server. For information about the limits for particulates and gases, see Particulate contamination.
