Continuous operation (for altitude less than 950 m or 3117 ft) 10°C to 35°C with no direct sunlight on the equipment.
Fresh air For information about fresh air, see Expanded Operating Temperature.
Maximum temperature gradient (operating and storage) 20°C/h (36°F/h)
Relative humidity
Storage 5% to 95% with 33°C (91°F) maximum dew point. Atmosphere must be non-condensing at all times.

35 °C to 40 °C (95 °F to 104 °F) Maximum temperature is reduced by 1°C/175 m (1°F/319 ft) above 950 m (3,117 ft).
40 °C to 45 °C (104 °F to 113 °F) Maximum temperature is reduced by 1°C/125 m (1°F/228 ft) above 950 m (3,117 ft).
Particulate contamination
  • NOTE: This section defines the limits to help avoid IT equipment damage and/or failure from particulates and gaseous contamination. If it is determined that levels of particulates or gaseous pollution are beyond the limits specified below and are the reason for the damage or failures to your equipment, it maybe necessary for you to re-mediate the environmental conditions that are causing the damage or failures. Re-mediation of environmental conditions will be the responsibility of the customer.
Air filtration Data center air filtration as defined by ISO Class 8 per ISO 14644-1 with a 95% upper confidence limit.
  • NOTE: Applies to data center environments only. Air filtration requirements do not apply to IT equipment designed to be used outside a data center, in environments such as an office or factory floor.
Conductive dust Air must be free of conductive dust, zinc whiskers, or other conductive particles.
  • NOTE: Applies to data center and non-data center environments.
Corrosive dust
  • Air must be free of corrosive dust.
  • Residual dust present in the air must have a deliquescent point less than 60% relative humidity.
  • NOTE: Applies to data center and non-data center environments.
Gaseous contamination
 
  • NOTE: Maximum corrosive contaminant levels measured at ≤50% relative humidity.
Copper coupon corrosion rate <300 Å/month per ClassG1 as defined by ANSI/ISA71.04-1985.
Silver coupon corrosion rate <200 Å/month as defined by AHSRAE TC9.9.
Expanded operating temperature  
  • 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 and in the system event log.
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 down to 5°C or as high as 40°C.

For temperatures between 35°C and 40°C, de-rate maximum allowable temperature by 1°C per 175m 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).

  Expanded operating temperature restrictions
  • Do not perform a cold startup below 5°C.
  • The operating temperature specified is for a maximum altitude of 3050 m (10,000 ft).
  • Redundant power supplies are required.
  • Peripheral cards that are not Dell-qualified are not supported.
  • Peripheral cards greater than 25 W are not supported.
