4. Thermal Management
The fully integrated system is designed to operate at external ambient temperatures of between
10°C and 35°C. Working with integrated platform management, several features within the system
are designed to move air in a front to back direction, through the system and over critical
components to prevent them from overheating and allow the system to operate with best
performance.
Figure 23.System Air Flow and Fan Identification
The following table provides air flow data associated with one of the system models within this
product, and is provided for reference purposes only. The data was derived from actual wind tunnel
test methods and measurements using fully configured (worst case) system configurations. Lesser
system configurations may produce slightly different data results. In addition, the CFM data was
derived using server management utilities that utilize platform sensor data, and may vary slightly
from the data listed in the tables.
Table 40. System Volumetric Air Flow
RM23712 is thermally designed and developed in compliance with ASHRAE Class A2 environment
guidance; however, there is extra thermal margin for all components in the system, so ASHRAE
Class A3 environment conditions can be thermally supported.
Note: ASHARE Class A3 – Includes operation up to 40°C for up to 900 hours per year. Refer to
Appendix D for detailed HTA guidance.
