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

The server is designed for standard data center environment and recommended to be placed in industrial data center.

Water requirements

ThinkSystem SR850 V4 is supported in the following environment:

Maximum pressure: 3 bars
Water inlet temperature and flow rates:
- For servers with Processor Neptune^® Core Module (NeptCore), the water inlet temperature and water flow rate can be as follows:
  Water inlet temperature Water flow rate
  50°C (122°F) 1.5 liters per minute (lpm) per server
  45°C (113°F) 1 liter per minute (lpm) per server
  40°C (104°F) or lower 0.5 liters per minute (lpm) per server

Attention

The water required to initially fill the system side cooling loop must be reasonably clean, bacteria-free water (<100 CFU/ml) such as de-mineralized water, reverse osmosis water, de-ionized water, or distilled water. The water must be filtered with an in-line 50 micron filter (approximately 288 mesh). The water must be treated with anti-biological and anti-corrosion measures. Environment quality must be maintained over the lifetime of the system to receive warranty and support on affecting components.
