Specification Description
Environment
The ThinkSystem ST250 server complies with ASHRAE Class A2 specifications.
Depending on the hardware configuration, some models comply with ASHRAE Class A3
specifications. System performance may be impacted when operating temperature is
outside ASHRAE A2 specification.
• Air temperature:
– Operating
– ASHRAE Class A2: 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F); the maximum ambient
temperature decreases by 1°C for every 300 m (984 ft) increase in altitude
above 900 m (2,953 ft).
– ASHRAE Class A3: 5°C to 40°C (41°F to 104°F); the maximum ambient
temperature decreases by 1°C for every 175 m (574 ft) increase in altitude
above 900 m (2,953 ft). Limited configuration as 80W processor plus eight 2.5-
inch disk drives.
– Server off: -10°C to 60°C (14°F to 140°F)
– Shipment/storage: -40°C to 60°C (-40°F to 140°F)
• Maximum altitude: 3,050 m (10,000 ft)
• Relative Humidity (non-condensing):
– Operating
– ASHRAE Class A2: 8% to 80%; maximum dew point: 21°C (70°F)
– ASHRAE Class A3: 8% to 85%; maximum dew point: 24°C (75°F)
– Shipment/storage: 8% to 90%
• Particulate contamination
Attention:
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” in
ThinkSystem ST250 Maintenance Manual

Particulate contamination
Attention:
Airborne particulates (including metal flakes or particles) and reactive gases acting alone or in
combination with other environmental factors such as humidity or temperature might pose a risk to the
device that is described in this document.
Risks that are posed by the presence of excessive particulate levels or concentrations of harmful gases
include damage that might cause the device to malfunction or cease functioning altogether. This
specification sets forth limits for particulates and gases that are intended to avoid such damage. The limits
must not be viewed or used as definitive limits, because numerous other factors, such as temperature or
moisture content of the air, can influence the impact of particulates or environmental corrosives and gaseous
contaminant transfer. In the absence of specific limits that are set forth in this document, you must
implement practices that maintain particulate and gas levels that are consistent with the protection of human
health and safety. If Lenovo determines that the levels of particulates or gases in your environment have
caused damage to the device, Lenovo may condition provision of repair or replacement of devices or parts
