Note
  • These sound levels were measured in controlled acoustical environments according to procedures specified by ISO7779 and are reported in accordance with ISO 9296.
  • The declared acoustic sound levels are based on the specified configurations, which may change slightly depending on configuration/conditions.
    • Typical configuration: four 205W processors, twenty-four 64 GB DIMMs, eight SAS hard disk drives, 930-8i, Intel X710-DA2 PCIe 10Gb 2-Port, Intel X550-T2 Dual Port 10GBase-T, two 1800-watt power supply units
    • GPU configuration: four 165W processors, twenty-four 64 GB DIMMs, sixteen SAS hard disk drives, 940-16i, Intel X710-DA2 PCIe 10Gb 2-Port, two Nvidia Tesla T4, two 1800-watt power supply units

  • The declared acoustic noise levels may increase greatly, if high-power components are installed such as high-power NICs, high-power processors and GPUs.

  • 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.
