Environmental specifications

NOTE:For additional information about environmental certifications, see the Product Environmental Datasheet located with the Manuals & Documents on Dell Support.

Table 1. Continuous operation specifications for ASHRAE A2This table describes the continuous operation specifications for ASHRAE A2.
Temperature	Specifications
Allowable continuous operations
Temperature ranges for altitudes <= 900 m (<= 2953 ft)	10–35°C (50–95°F) with no direct sunlight on the equipment
Humidity percent ranges (non-condensing always)	8% RH with -12°C minimum dew point to 80% RH with 21°C (69.8°F) maximum dew point
Operational altitude de-rating	Maximum temperature is reduced by 1°C/300 m (1.8°F/984 Ft) above 900 m (2953 Ft)

Table 2. Shared requirements across all categories This table describes the shared requirements across all categories.
Temperature	Specifications
Allowable continuous operations
Maximum temperature gradient (applies to both operation and non-operation)	20°C in an hour* (36°F in an hour) and 5°C in 15 minutes (9°F in 15 minutes), 5°C in an hour* (9°F in an hour) for tape NOTE:* - Per ASHRAE thermal guidelines for tape hardware, these are not instantaneous rates of temperature change.
Non-operational temperature limits	-40°C to 65°C (-104°F to 149°F)
Non-operational humidity limits	5% to 95% RH with 27°C (80.6°F) maximum dew point
Maximum non-operational altitude	12,000 meters (39,370 ft)
Maximum operational altitude	3,050 meters (10,006 ft)

Table 3. Maximum vibration specificationsThe maximum vibration specification of an operational system is 0.21 Grms at 5 Hz to 500 Hz (all operation orientations). The maximum vibration specification of a nonoperational system is 1.38 Grms at 7 Hz to 250 Hz for 15 minutes (bottom side only).
Maximum vibration	Specifications
Operating	0.21 G_rms at 5 Hz to 500 Hz (all operation orientations)
Storage	1.38 G_rms at 7 Hz to 250 Hz for 15 minutes

Table 4. Maximum shock pulse specificationsThe maximum shock specification of an operational system is six consecutively performed shock pulses in the positive and negative x, y, and z axis of 6 G for up to 11 ms. The maximum shock specification of a nonoperational system is performed shock pulses in the z axis (one pulse) of 71 G for up to 2 ms.
Maximum shock pulse	Specifications
Operating	Six consecutively performed shock pulses in the positive and negative x, y, and z axis of 6 G for up to 11 ms.
Storage	Performed shock pulses in z axis (one pulse) of 71 G for up to 2 ms
