Dell PowerEdge R730 Owner's Manual

Expanded operating temperature

Table 1. Expanded operating temperature specificationsWhen the system is in continuous operation, the expanded operating temperature ranges from 5°C to 40°C at 5% to 85% RH with 29°C dew point. NOTE: Outside the standard operating temperature (10°C to 35°C), the system can operate continuously in temperatures as low as 5°C and as high as 40°C. For temperatures between 35°C and 40°C, de-rate maximum allowable temperature by 1°C per 175 m above 950 m (1°F per 319 ft). When the system is operating at < 1% of annual operating hours, the expanded operating temperature is –5°C to 45°C at 5% to 90% RH with 29°C dew point. NOTE: Outside the standard operating temperature (10°C to 35°C), the system can operate down to –5°C or up to 45°C for a maximum of 1% of its annual operating hours. For temperatures between 40°C and 45°C, de-rate maximum allowable temperature by 1°C per 125 m above 950 m (1°F per 228 ft).

Continuous operation	5°C to 40°C at 5% to 85% RH with 29°C dew point. NOTE: Outside the standard operating temperature (10°C to 35°C), the system can operate continuously in temperatures as low as 5°C and as high as 40°C. For temperatures between 35°C and 40°C, de-rate maximum allowable temperature by 1°C per 175 m above 950 m (1°F per 319 ft).
≤ 1% of annual operating hours	–5°C to 45°C at 5% to 90% RH with 29°C dew point. NOTE: Outside the standard operating temperature (10°C to 35°C), the system can operate down to –5°C or up to 45°C for a maximum of 1% of its annual operating hours. For temperatures between 40°C and 45°C, de-rate maximum allowable temperature by 1°C per 125 m above 950 m (1°F per 228 ft).

NOTE: When operating in the expanded temperature range, system performance may be impacted.

NOTE: When operating in the expanded temperature range, ambient temperature warnings may be reported on the LCD panel and in the System Event Log.
