    • 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. The noise emission level stated in the declared (upper limit) sound-power level, in bels, for a random sample of system.
Hot-swap fans:
  • One microprocessor: five dual-motor hot-swap fans 1, 2, 3, 5, 7
  • Two microprocessors: seven dual-motor hot-swap fans 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8
Note
For 3.5-inch-drive models, your server has no fan 4 slot. For 2.5-inch-drive models, the fan 4 slot is always occupied by a fan filler.
Power supply:
  • Up to two hot-swap power supplies for redundancy support
    • 550-watt ac 80 PLUS Platinum
    • 750-watt ac 80 PLUS Platinum

Note
Power supplies in the server must be with the same power rating or wattage.
Acoustical noise emissions:
  • Sound power, idling: 6.5 bels maximum
  • Sound power, operating: 6.5 bels maximum
Note
The PCIe options supported in this system vary greatly in function, power draw, and required cooling. Any increase in cooling required by these options will result in increased fan speed and produced sound power level. The actual sound pressure levels measured 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 pressure, and employees’ location in relation to the equipment.

Attention:
  • Design to ASHRAE Class A3, ambient of 40°C, with relaxed support:
    • Support cloud like workload with no performance degradation acceptable (Turbo-Off).
    • Under no circumstance, can any combination of worst case workload and configuration result in system shutdown or design exposure at 40°C.
  • Specific processors supported environment:

    • Processor E5-2699 v4, E5-2698 v4, E5-2697 v4, E5-2690 v4, E5-2667 v4, E5-2643 v4, and E5-2637 v4 are not supported with rear hard disk drive installed.

    • Processor E5-2699 v4, E5-2698 v4, E5-2697 v4, E5-2667 v4, E5-2643 v4, E5-2637 v4 may face performance degradation when operating a heavy workload at 35°C to 40°C ambient temperature in a 3.5-inch chassis.

  • Chassis is powered on.
  • A3 - Derate maximum allowable temperature 1°C/175 m above 950 m.
  • The minimum humidity level for class A3 is the higher (more moisture) of the -12°C dew point and the 8% relative humidity. These intersect at approximately 25°C. Below this intersection (~25°C) the dew point (-12°C) represents the minimum moisture level, while above it relative humidity (8%) is the minimum.
  • Moisture levels lower than 0.5°C DP, but not lower -10 °C DP or 8% relative humidity, can be accepted if appropriate control measures are implemented to limit the generation of static electricity on personnel and equipment in the data center. All personnel and mobile furnishings and equipment must be connected to ground via an appropriate static control system. The following items are considered the minimum requirements:
    • Conductive materials (conductive flooring, conductive footwear on all personnel that go into the datacenter, all mobile furnishings and equipment will be made of conductive or static dissipative materials).
    • During maintenance on any hardware, a properly functioning wrist strap must be used by any personnel who contacts IT equipment.
  • 5°C/hr for data centers employing tape drives and 20°C/hr for data centers employing disk drives.
  • Chassis is removed from original shipping container and is installed but not in use, for example, during repair, maintenance, or upgrade.
  • The equipment acclimation period is 1 hour per 20°C of temperature change from the shipping environment to the operating environment.
  • Condensation is acceptable, but not rain.
