System fans

  • One processor: four system fans

  • Two processors: six system fans

Note
  • If your server is installed with one processor, four system fans (fan 1 to fan 4) are adequate to provide proper cooling. However, you must keep the locations for fan 5 and fan 6 occupied by fan fillers to ensure proper airflow.

  • When the system is powered off but still plugged in to AC power, fans 1 and 2 may continue to spin at a much lower speed. This is the system design to provide proper cooling.

Power supplies

Up to two hot-swap power supplies for redundancy support.
  • 550-watt ac 80 PLUS Platinum

  • 750-watt ac 80 PLUS Platinum

  • 750-watt ac 80 PLUS Titanium

Acoustical noise emissions

  • Sound power levels, idle

    • 4.5 bels, minimum

    • 4.6 bels, typical

    • 5.2 bels, maximum

  • Sound power levels, operating

    • 5.0 bels, minimum

    • 5.1 bels, typical

    • 5.5 bels, maximum

Note
  • 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.

  • The declared acoustic noise levels are based on specified configurations and they may change depending on configurations/conditions.

  • The declared acoustic noise levels may increase greatly, if high-power components are installed, for example, some high-power NICs, CPUs, and GPUs.

Electrical input

  • Sine-wave input (50–60 Hz) required

  • Input voltage low range
    • Minimum: 100 V ac

    • Maximum: 127 V ac

  • Input voltage high range:
    • Minimum: 200 V ac

    • Maximum: 240 V ac

Note
For server models with 750-watt ac 80 PLUS Titanium power supplies, the 100–127 V ac input voltage is not supported.
CAUTION
  • 240 V dc input (input range: 180-300 V dc) is supported in Chinese Mainland ONLY. Power supply with 240 V dc input cannot support hot plugging power cord function. Before removing the power supply with dc input, please turn off server or disconnect dc power sources at the breaker panel or by turning off the power source. Then, remove the power cord.

  • 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.

Minimal configuration for debugging

  • One processor in processor socket 1

      • ASHRAE class A2: 8%–80%; maximum dew point: 21°C (70°F)

      • ASHRAE class A3: 8%–85%; maximum dew point: 24°C (75°F)

      • ASHRAE class A4: 8%–90%; maximum dew point: 24°C (75°F)

    • Shipping or storage: 8%–90%

  • 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.
Note
Your server complies with ASHRAE class A2 specifications. The server performance might be impacted when the operating temperature is outside the ASHRAE A2 specifications. Depending on the hardware configuration, some server models comply with ASHRAE class A3 and class A4 specifications. To comply with ASHRAE class A3 and class A4 specifications, the server models must meet the following hardware configuration requirements at the same time:
  • Two power supplies must be installed.

  • No system fan fails.

Important information about EU ecodesign requirements

To meet the EU ecodesign requirements for energy-related products (ErP) Lot 9, your server must meet the following requirements:
  • Minimum memory: 16 GB

  • For server configured with one processor, these processors are not supported: Intel Xeon 3104, 3106, 3204, 4108, 4109T, 4110, 4112, 5122, 5222, 8156, and 8256.
