Notes:
1. Either slimline doors or acoustical doors must be selected by the customer during the order process.
2. Door options determine which doors are included with your
Eserver
pSeries 655. See “
Eserver
pSeries 655
Doors and Covers.”
Eserver
pSeries 655 Doors and Covers
Covers are an integral part of the
Eserver
pSeries 655 and are required for product safety and EMC
compliance. The following rear door options are available for the
Eserver
pSeries 655:

Enhanced Acoustical
″
Cover Option
This feature provides a low-noise option for customers or sites with stringent acoustical requirements
and where a minimal system footprint is not critical. The Acoustical cover option consists of a special
front and rear doors which are approximately 250 mm (10 in.) deep and contain acoustical treatment
that lowers the noise level of the machine by approximately 7 dB (0.7 B) compared to the Slimline
doors. This reduction in noise emission levels means that the noise level of a single
Eserver
pSeries
655 system with Slimline covers is about the same as the noise level of five
Eserver
pSeries 655
systems with acoustical covers.
v
″
Slimline
″
Cover Option
This feature provides a smaller-footprint and lower-cost option for customers or sites where space is
more critical than acoustical noise levels. The Slimline cover option consists of a front door, which is
approximately 100 mm (4 in) deep, and a rear door, which is approximately 50 mm (2 in) deep. No
acoustical treatment is available for this option.
Note: For declared levels of acoustical noise emissions, refer to “Declared Acoustical Noise Emissions” on
page 97.
Moving the System to the Installation Site
The customer should determine the path that must be taken to move the system from the delivery location
to the installation site. The customer should verify that the height of all doorways, elevators, and so on are
sufficient to allow moving the system to the installation site. The customer should also verify that the
weight limitations of elevators, ramps, floors, floor tiles, and so on are sufficient to allow moving the
