Environment requirements and noise emission – Introduction to Power E1080
1.4.3 Environment requirements and noise emission
The environment requirements for the Power E1080 servers are classified in operating and non-operating environments. The operating environments are further segmented regarding the recommended and allowable conditions.
The recommended operating environment designates the long-term operating environment that can result in the greatest reliability, energy efficiency, and reliability. The allowable operating environment represents where the equipment is tested to verify functionality. Because the stresses that operating in the allowable envelope can place on the equipment, these envelopes must be used for short-term operation, not continuous operation.
The condition of a non-operating environment pertains to the situation when equipment is removed from the original shipping container and is installed, but is powered down. The allowable non-operating environment is provided to define the environmental range that an unpowered system can experience short term without being damaged.
Table 1-4 on page 14 lists the environment requirements for the Power E1080 server regarding temperature, humidity, dew point, and altitude. It also lists the maximum noise emission level for a fully configured Power E1080 server.
