System fans
One processor: five dual-rotor hot-swap fans (including one redundant fan rotor)
Two processors: seven dual-rotor hot-swap fans (including one redundant fan rotor)
Note
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.
For server models installed with Intel Xeon 6144, 6146, 6154, 6240C, 6240Y, 6242R, 6244, 6246, 6246R, 6248R, 6252N, 6254, 6258R, 8168, 8171M, 8180, 8180M, 8268, 8270, 8280, 8280L, and 8280M processors, fan rotor redundancy is not supported. If one fan rotor fails, the server performance will be degraded.
If your server comes with only one processor, five system fans (fan 1 to fan 5) are adequate to provide proper cooling. However, you must keep the locations for fan 6 and fan 7 occupied by a fan filler to ensure proper airflow.
When 256 GB/512 GB DCPMM is installed, and the ambient temperature is more than 30°C, fan rotor redundancy is not supported.
Power supplies
CAUTION
240 V dc input (input range: 180-300 V dc) is ONLY supported in Chinese Mainland.
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.
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.
One or two hot-swap power supplies for redundancy support

Acoustical noise emissions
Sound power levels, idle
4.9 bels, minimum
5.0 bels, typical
5.8 bels, maximum
Sound power levels, operating
5.3 bels, minimum
6.1 bels, typical

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

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.
