Acoustical noise emissions
These sound levels were measured in controlled acoustical environments according to procedures specified by ISO7779 and are reported in accordance with ISO 9296.
| Typical | Storage rich | GPU rich | |
| Sound power levels (LWA,m) | |||
| Idling | 6.1 Bel | 7.4 Bel | 6.7 Bel |
| Operating | 6.3 Bel | 7.4 Bel | 8.0 Bel |
| Sound pressure level (LpA,m) | |||
| Idling | 43 dBA | 56 dBA | 51 dBA |
| Operating | 46 dBA | 56 dBA | 68 dBA |
The declared acoustic noise levels are based on below configurations, which may change depending on configurations and conditions:
| Config. | Typical | Storage rich | GPU rich |
| CPU | 2 x 155 W | 1 x 155 W | 1 x 155 W |
| DIMM | 32 RDIMM | 32 RDIMM | 32 RDIMM |
| Ethernet | 1 x SFP28 2-port OCP | 1 x SFP28 2-port OCP | 1 x SFP28 2-port OCP |
| PSU | 2 x 750 W | 2 x 1100 W | 2 x 1800 W |
| RAID | 930-8i RAID | 930-16i RAID | 930-8i RAID |
| Drive | 8 x 2.5'' HDD | 20 x 3.5'' HDD | 8 x 2.5'' HDD |
| GPU | NA | NA | 3 x V100 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.
