Notes:  
1.    Either slimline doors or acoustical doors must be selected by the customer during the order process. Slimline 
doors will not meet acoustic limits for Category 1A. 
2.    Door options determine which doors are included with your Eserver pSeries 690. See “Eserver pSeries 690 
Doors and Covers.”
 
  
Eserver pSeries 690 Doors and Covers 
Covers are an integral part of the Eserver pSeries 690 and are required for product safety and EMC 
compliance. The following rear door options are available for the Eserver pSeries 690: 
v   ″Enhanced Acoustical″  Cover Option 
 This feature provides a low-noise option for customers or sites with stringent acoustical requirements 
and where a minimal system footprint is not critical. The Acoustical cover option consists of a special 
rear door which is approximately 200-mm (8 in.) in depth and contains acoustical treatment that lowers 
the noise level of the machine by approximately 6 dB compared to the non-acoustical rear door. With 
this option, the 7040 meets the acoustical Specifications for Category 1A for Data Processing Areas, 
with a declared A-weighted sound power level, L
WAd 
of 7.5 bels (B) for the most common system 
configuration. 
v   ″Slimline″  Cover Option 
 This feature provides a smaller-footprint and lower-cost option for customers or sites where space is 
more critical than acoustical noise levels. The Slimline cover option consists of rear door which is about 
50-mm (2 in.) in depth with no acoustical treatment. With this option, the 7040 has a declared 
A-weighted sound power level, L
WAd
, of 7.9 bels (B) for the most common system configuration.
Note:   For declared levels of acoustical noise emissions, refer to “Acoustical Noise Emissions” on page 
172.
