Specification
Description
•  Maximum altitude: 3050 m (10 000 ft)
•  Relative humidity (non-condensing): 
–  Operating: 
–  ASHRAE Class A2: 8%–80%, maximum dew point: 21°C (70°F)
–  ASHRAE Class A3: 8%–85%, maximum dew point: 24°C (75°F)
–  ASHRAE Class A4: 8%–90%, maximum dew point: 24°C (75°F)
–  Shipment or storage: 8%–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 10.
The server is designed for standard data center environment and is recommended to 
be placed in industrial data center. Depending on hardware configurations, the server 
complies with ASHRAE Class A2, A3, or A4 specifications with certain thermal 
restrictions. System performance may be impacted when operating temperature is 
outside permitted conditions. 
The restrictions to ASHRAE support are as follows: 
•  The ambient temperature must be no more than 30°C if your server meets any of 
the following conditions: 
–  205 W < TDP ≤ 270 W
–  Installed with any rear 2.5-inch NVMe drive
–  Installed with any 256 GB DIMM or PMEM
–  Installed with any passive GPU
•  The ambient temperature must be no more than 35°C if your server meets any of 
the following conditions: 
–  165 W < TDP ≤ 205 W
–  Installed with any front NVMe drive or rear NVMe AIC SSD
–  Installed with any 7mm boot drive
–  Installed with any M.2 NVMe drive
–  Installed with any rear 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive
•  The ambient temperature must be no more than 45°C if the CPU TDP is equal to 
or smaller than 165 W.
Particulate contamination
Attention: Airborne particulates (including metal flakes or particles) and reactive gases acting alone or in 
combination with other environmental factors such as humidity or temperature might pose a risk to the 
device that is described in this document.
Risks that are posed by the presence of excessive particulate levels or concentrations of harmful gases 
include damage that might cause the device to malfunction or cease functioning altogether. This 
specification sets forth limits for particulates and gases that are intended to avoid such damage. The limits 
must not be viewed or used as definitive limits, because numerous other factors, such as temperature or 
moisture content of the air, can influence the impact of particulates or environmental corrosives and gaseous
