ThinkSystem SR630 V4 complies with ASHRAE Class A2 specifications. System performance may be affected when
operating temperature is outside of AHSARE A2 specification.
• Air temperature:
– Operating
– ASHARE Class A2: 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F); the maximum ambient temperature decreases by 1°C for
every 300 m (984 ft) increase in altitude above 900 m (2,953 ft).
– Server off: 5°C to 45°C (41°F to 113°F)
– Shipment/storage: -40°C to 60°C (-40°F to 140°F)
• Maximum altitude: 3,050 m (10,000 ft)
• Relative Humidity (non-condensing):
– Operating
– ASHRAE Class A2: 8% to 80%; maximum dew point: 21°C (70°F)
– Shipment/storage: 8% to 90%
• Particulate contamination
Attention: 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 13.
Note:
The server is designed for standard data center environment and recommended to be placed in industrial data
centers.
When the ambient temperature is greater than the supported max temperature (ASHARE A4 45°C), the server will shut
down. The server will not power on again until the ambient temperature falls within the supported temperature range.
Depending on hardware configurations, the server complies with ASHRAE Class H1, A2, A3, or A4 specifications with
certain thermal restrictions. System performance may be impacted when operating temperature is out of permitted
conditions.
The restrictions to ASHRAE support are as follows (cooling by air or Processor Neptune

Air Module (NeptAir)) :
• The ambient temperature must be no more than 30°C if your server meets the following conditions:
– 300 W < TDP ≤ 350 W
– NeptAir module
– High-performance fan-packs
– Any M.2 NVMe drive
– Memory modules with capacity equal to or smaller than 64 GB
• The ambient temperature must be no more than 35°C if your server meets any of the following conditions:
– 205 W < TDP ≤ 300 W
– High-performance fan-packs
– ≥ 100 GbE AOC transceiver with high-performance fan-packs
– 30°C when 225 < TDP ≤ 300
– 35°C when 185 ≤ TDP ≤ 225
– Any M.2 NVMe drive
– Memory modules with capacity equal to or smaller than 64 GB
• The ambient temperature must be no more than 35°C if your server meets any of the following conditions:
– 185 W < TDP ≤ 205 W
