Environment:

Your server is designed to operate in a general business environment, such as ASHRAE Class A3, temperature and humidity-controlled room.

Server on:

• Temperature:
  • 5°C to 40°C (41°F to 104°F)
  • Altitude: 0 to 950 m (3,117 ft); decrease the maximum system temperature by 1°C for every 175-m increase in altitude.
• Humidity:
  • Non-condensing: -12°C dew point (10.4°F)
  • Relative humidity: 8% to 85%
• Maximum dew point: 24°C (75.2°F)
• Maximum altitude: 3,050 m (10,000 ft), 5°C to 33°C (41°F to 91.4°F)
• Maximum rate of temperature change:
  • Tape drives: 5°C/hr (41°F/hr)
  • Hard disk drives: 20°C/hr (68°F/hr)

Server off:

• Temperature: 5°C to 45°C (41°F to 113°F)
• Relative humidity: 8% to 85%
• Maximum dew point: 27°C (80.6°F)

Storage (non-operating):

• Temperature: 1°C to 60°C (33.8°F to 140°F)
• Altitude: 3,050 m (10,000 ft)
• Relative humidity: 5% to 80%
• Maximum dew point: 29°C (84.2°F)

Shipment (non-operating):

• Temperature: -40°C to 60°C (-40°F to 140°F)
• Altitude: 10,700 m (35,105 ft)
• Relative humidity: 5% to 100%
• Maximum dew point: 29°C (84.2°F)

Attention

Design to ASHRAE Class A3, ambient supporting 40°C or below, with relaxed support:

• The system support redundant fan function under 35°C when “Redundant Kit” installed, no redundant function support from 35°C to 40°C.
• The system might has performance de-gradation after 35°C /3000’.
• Under no circumstance can any combination of worst-case workload and configuration result design exposure at 35°C. Redundant fan installed support to 40°C, and the system might result shutdown when fan failed from 40°C to 45°C.

• If an NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24GB graphics processing unit (GPU) accelerator is installed, the ambient temperature must not exceed 40°C (104°F). When the ambient temperature is over 35°C (95°F), the redundant fan function is not supported due to thermal limitation.

  Note

  1. Power consumption and heat output vary depending on the number and type of optional features installed and the power-management optional features in use.
  2. The noise emission level stated is the declared (upper limit) sound power level, in bels, for a random sample of machines. All measurements are made in accordance with ISO 7779 and reported in conformance with ISO 9296. Actual sound-pressure levels in a given location might exceed the average values stated because of room reflections and other nearby noise sources.
