Operating Environment
The system is designed to run continuously and meet reliability goals in an ambient temperature of 5
°
C to
35
°
C (+40
°
F to +95
°
F) at sea level. The maximum allowable temperature is de-rated 1
°
C per 1,000 feet of
elevation above 5,000 feet above sea level up to 30
°
C at 10,000 feet. For optimum reliability and performance,
the recommended operating range is 20
°
C to 25
°
C and 40% – 55% relative humidity.
Ambient intake air temperature is often different from ambient room temperature; you should measure the
operating temperature and humidity directly in front of the cabinet cooling air intakes rather than just
checking ambient room conditions.
Environmental Temperature Sensor
The server includes internal sensors that monitor input air temperature and server operating temperatures.
The ambient air temperature is measured using a sensor placed on the system I/O board. Data from the
sensor is used to control the fan speed and to initiate system overtemperature shutdown.
Nonoperating Environment
The system is designed to withstand ambient temperatures between –40
°
C to 70
°
C under nonoperating
conditions.
Cooling
This section provides information on the cooling systems in the server.
CPU and Memory Cooling
The server incorporates front to back airflow across the processor and memory extender boards and through
the HDD backplane. Two 127 mm dual fan assemblies, mounted vertically in the center of the chassis, pull air
through the processor and memory section and push air through the PCI section.
