1.4 Operating environment
Table 1-1 provides the operating environment specifications for the Power S822LC servers.
Table 1-1 Operating environment for Power S822LC servers
1.5 Physical package
Table 1-2 on page 7 shows the physical dimensions of the Power S822LC chassis. The
servers are available only in a rack-mounted form factor and take 2U (2 EIA units) of rack
space.

Tip: The maximum measured value is expected from a fully populated server under an
intensive workload. The maximum measured value also accounts for component tolerance
and operating conditions that are not ideal. Power consumption and heat load vary greatly
by server configuration and usage. Use the IBM Systems Energy Estimator to obtain a
heat output estimate that is based on a specific configuration, which is available at the
following website:
