– Temperature: 1°C to 60°C (33.8°F to 140°F)
– Altitude: 3,050 m (10,000)
– Humidity: 5%~80%
– Maximum dew point: 29°C (84.2°F)
v Shipment (non-operating)
– Temperature: -40°C to 60°C (-40°F to 140°F)
– Altitude: 10.700 m (35,105 ft)
– Humidity: 5%~100%
– Maximum dew point: 29°C (84.2°F)
v Particulate contamination:
Attention: Design to ASHRAE Class A3, ambient of 40°C, with relaxed
support:
– The system will 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.
Drives (depending on the model):
v Hard disk drives: up to four 3.5-inch simple-swap SATA
v One of the following SATA attached optical drives:
– DVD-ROM
– Tape drive
Drive bays (depending on the model):
v Two 5.25-inch half-high bays (one optical drive installed).
v Four 3.5-inch hard disk drive bays
Attention: As a general consideration, do not mix standard 512-byte and
advanced 4-KB format drives in the same RAID array because it might
lead to potential performance issues.
Integrated functions:
v Integrated management module II (IMM2), which consolidates multiple
management functions in a single chip
v BroadCom 5717 Gb Ethernet controller with TCP/IP Offload Engine
(TOE) and Wake on LAN support
v Integrated SATA controller
v Seven Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports:
– Two USB 3.0 ports on the front. (Due to the limitation of USB 3.0, the
front USB is not usable for RHEL 5.10, Vmware 5.1 and Vmware 5.5.)
– Four USB 2.0 ports on the rear
– One internal USB 2.0 port for an optional tape drive
v Six SATA ports (blue-colored ports for DVD drive or optional tape drive)
v One serial port
v Two Ethernet ports
v One VGA port
