Note
  • These sound levels were measured in controlled acoustical environments according to procedures specified by ISO7779 and are reported in accordance with ISO 9296.

  • 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.

Environment

ThinkSystem SR655 V3 is designed for standard data center environment and is recommended to be placed in industrial data center. Depending on hardware configurations, the server complies with ASHRAE Class H1, A2, A3, or A4 specifications with certain thermal restrictions. For detailed thermal information, see Thermal rules. System performance may be impacted when operating temperature is outside permitted conditions.

  • Air temperature:

    • Operating

      • ASHRAE class H1: 5°C to 25°C (41°F to 77°F)

        The maximum ambient temperature decreases by 1°C for every 500 m (1640 ft) increase in altitude above 900 m (2,953 ft)

      • ASHRAE 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)

      • ASHRAE class A3: 5°C to 40°C (41°F to 104°F)

        The maximum ambient temperature decreases by 1°C for every 175 m (574 ft) increase in altitude above 900 m (2,953 ft)

      • ASHRAE class A4: 5°C to 45°C (41°F to 113°F)

        The maximum ambient temperature decreases by 1°C for every 125 m (410 ft) increase in altitude above 900 m (2,953 ft)

    • Server off: 5°C to 45°C (41°F to 113°F)

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

  • Maximum altitude: 3,050 m (10,000 ft)

  • Relative Humidity (non-condensing):

    • Operating

      • ASHRAE class H1: 8%–80%; maximum dew point: 17°C (62.6°F)

      • 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)

    • Shipment/storage: 8% to 90%

Note

When the ambient temperature is greater than the supported max temperature, the server will shut down (ASHRAE 45°C). The server will not power on again until the ambient temperature falls within the supported temperature range.
