5.4 Acoustics 
The acoustical design of the PowerEdge M610 reflects adherence to Dell’s high sound quality 
standards. Sound quality is different from sound power level and sound pressure level in that it 
describes how humans respond to annoyances in sound, like whistles, hums, etc. One of the sound 
quality metrics in the Dell specification is prominence ratio of a tone. 
Table 4 shows the acoustical performance for a typical configuration of the M1000e chassis with eight 
PowerEdge M610 blade servers installed. Acoustical performance varies with hardware 
configurations.
