EU Regulation 617/2013 Technical Documentation:
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" on page 603.
Attention:
v 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
v Specific microprocessors supported
environment:
– Microprocessor Intel Xeon
E5-2690, 135W:
- Temperature: 10°C to 27°C
(50°F to 80.6°F)
- Altitude: 0 to 304.8 m (1,000
ft)
– Microprocessor models with
115W and 130W:
- Temperature: 10°C to 35°C
(50°F to 95°F)
- Altitude: 0 to 914.4 m (3,000
ft)
Size:

Notes:
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.
