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.
Minimal configuration for debugging
One processor in processor socket 1
One DRAM DIMM in DIMM slot 14
One power supply in PSU slot 1
One drive with RAID adapter and backplane or backplate (if OS is needed for debugging)
Three single rotor fans in fan slot 1, 2, and 4.
One fan filler in fan slot 3.
Environment
The ThinkSystem ST650 V2 server complies with ASHRAE Class A2 specifications. Depending on the hardware configuration, some models comply with ASHRAE Class A3 and Class A4 specifications. System performance may be impacted when operating temperature is outside ASHRAE A2 specification.
Air temperature:
Operating
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: -10°C to 60°C (14°F to 140°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 A2: 8% to 80%; maximum dew point: 21°C (70°F)
ASHRAE Class A3: 8% to 85%; maximum dew point: 24°C (75°F)
ASHRAE Class A4: 8% to 90%; maximum dew point: 24°C (75°F)
Shipment/storage: 8% to 90%
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.
Acoustical noise emissions
The server has the following acoustic noise emissions declaration:
Sound power level (LWAd)
Idling:
Min: 5.0 Bel
Typical: 5.6 Bel
GPU: 7.2 Bel
Operating:
Min: 5.6 Bel
Typical: 5.6 Bel
GPU: 8.5 Bel
Sound pressure level (LpAm):
Idling:
Min: 37 dBA
Typical: 41 dBA
GPU: 57 dBA
Operating:
Min: 41 dBA
Typical: 41 dBA
GPU: 69 dBA
Note
The fans will temporarily run at higher speeds on system boot due to processor power calibration.
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.
Min configuration: one 105W processor, four 16 GB DIMMs, two 480 GB SSD drives, two onboard 10GB LAN ports, one 750W power supply unit.
Typical configuration: two 125W processors, sixteen 32 GB DIMMs, eight SAS hard disk drives, one 530-8i RAID Adapter, two onboard 10GB LAN ports, two 750W power supply units.
GPU configuration: two 165W processors, thirty-two 64 GB DIMMs, eight SAS hard disk drives, one 930-8i RAID adapter, two onboard 10GB LAN ports, eight Nvidia Tesla T4 GPU adapters, two 1800W 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.
Ambient temperature management
Adjust ambient temperature when specific components are installed:
