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. 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: 4 dual-motor hot-swap fans
  • Two microprocessors: 6 dual-motor hot-swap fans
Power supply:
  • Up to two hot-swap power supplies for redundancy support
    • 550-watt ac 80 PLUS Platinum
    • 750-watt ac 80 PLUS Platinum
    • 750-watt ac 80 PLUS Titanium
    • 900-watt ac 80 PLUS Platinum
    • 900-watt dc
    • 1300-watt ac 80 PLUS Titanium
    • 1500-watt ac 80 PLUS Platinum
Note
  1. Power supplies and redundant power supplies in the server must be with the same power rating, wattage or level.
  2. You may use the Power Configurator utility to determine current system power consumption. For more information and to download the utility, go to the Power Configurator website.
Acoustical noise emissions:
  • Sound power, idling: 6.4 bels maximum
  • Sound power, operating: 6.6 bels maximum
Note
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
Heat output:
Approximate heat output:
  • Minimum configuration: 525.45 Btu per hour (AC 154 watts)
  • Maximum configuration: 6667 Btu per hour (AC 1954 watts)
Environment:

The Lenovo System x3650 M5 compute node complies with ASHRAE class A3 specifications.

Power on:
  • Temperature: 5°C - 40°C (41°F - 104°F) up to 950mm (3,117ft). Above 950m, de-rated maximum air temperature is 1C / 175m.
  • Humidity, non-condensing: -12°C dew point (10.4°F) and 8% - 85% relative humidity.
  • Maximum dew point: 24°C (75°F)
  • Maximum altitude: 3050 m (10,000 ft) and 5°C - 28°C (41°F - 82°F)
  • Maximum rate of temperature change: 5°C/hr (41°F/hr) for tape drive, 20°C/hr (68°F/hr) for HDDs
Power off:
  • Temperature: 5°C to 45°C (41°F - 113°F)
  • Relative humidity: 8% - 85%
  • Maximum dew point: 27°C (80.6°F)
Storage (non-operating):
  • Temperature: 1°C to 60°C (33.8°F - 140°F)
  • Altitude: 3050 m (10,000 ft)
  • Relative humidity: 5% - 80%
  • Maximum dew point: 29°C (84.2°F)
Shipment (non-operating):
  • Temperature: -40°C to 60°C (-40°F - 140°F)
  • Altitude: 10,700 m (35,105 ft)
  • Relative humidity: 5% - 100%
  • Maximum dew point: 29°C (84.2°F)
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
  • 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

  • For 3.5-inch-drive models, if a 2.5-inch rear two hard-disk-drive kit is installed onto the PCI riser connector 2 on the system board, the server complies with ASHRAE class A2 specifications (ambient temperature not exceeding 35°C/95°F).

  • The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24GB GPU accelerator is supported only in eight 3.5-inch-drive or sixteen 2.5-inch-drive models. The ambient temperature must not exceed 35°C (95°F) and the redundant fan function is not supported due to thermal limitation.

Particulate contamination: 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.
