Table 31. Environmental specifications
When operating in the expanded temperature range, system performance may be impacted,
and ambient temperature warnings may be reported on the LCD and in the System Event
Log.
≤ 10% of annual operating hours: 5°C to 10°C and 35°C to 40°C (with no direct sunlight on
the equipment) at 5% to 85% relative humidity with 26°C dew point (maximum wet bulb
temperature). Outside the standard operating temperature (10°C to 35°C), the system can
operate down to 5°C or up to 40°C for a maximum of 10% of its annual operating hours. For
temperatures between 35°C and 40°C (95°F to 104°F), de-rate maximum allowable dry bulb
temperature by 1°C per 175m above 950m (1°F per 319 ft above 3117 ft).
≤ 1% of annual operating hours: –5°C to 5°C and 40°C to 45°C (with no direct sunlight on
the equipment) at 5% to 90% relative humidity with 26°C dew point (maximum wet bulb
temperature). 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 (104°F to 113°F), de-rate maximum allowable dry bulb
temperature by 1°C per 125m above 950m (1°F per 228 ft above 3117 ft).
Expanded operation restrictions:
No cold startup below 5°C
Maximum altitude for the operating temperature must be 3050m (10,000ft)
Redundant power supplies are required
Not supported:
- Express Flash PCIe SSD
- GPU
- LRDIMM
- 130W 4-core processors
- Non-redundant power supplies
- Peripheral cards not qualified by Dell
- Peripheral cards greater than 25W
For the PowerEdge R720, a maximum 130W processor is supported in either the 8-drive
bay or 16-drive bay chassis.
The following additional restrictions apply to PowerEdge R720xd:
- Maximum 95W processor is supported on 3.5-inch hard drive chassis
- Maximum 115 W processor is supported on 2.5-inch hard drive chassis
- Only SSDs are supported in the hard drive slots on the back of the 3.5-inch hard
drive chassis.
