Electrical characteristics Properties
Rated voltage and frequency1 200 - 240 V ac at 50 or 60 Hz plus or minus 3 Hz
Thermal output (maximum)2 6143 BTU/hr
Maximum power consumption2 1800 W
Maximum kVA3 1.855 kVA
Phase Single
Notes:
  1. The power supplies automatically accept any voltage with the published, rated-voltage range. If dual power supplies are installed and operating, the power supplies draw approximately equal current from the utility (electrical supply) and provide approximately equal current to the load. Each power supply has an IEC 320-C20 inlet.
  2. Power draw and heat load vary greatly by configuration. When you plan for an electrical system, it is important to use the maximum values. However, when you plan for heat load, you can use the IBM® Systems Energy Estimator to obtain a heat output estimate based on a specific configuration. See the The IBM Systems Energy Estimator website to determine whether the machine type and model is supported.
  3. To calculate the amperage, multiply the kVA by 1000 and divide that number by the operating voltage.

Notes:
  1. IBM provides the recommended operating environment as 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. Due to 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.
  2. Must derate the maximum allowable temperature 1°C (1.8°F) per 175 m (574 ft) above 900 m (2953 ft) up to a maximum allowable elevation of 3050 m (10000 ft).
  3. The minimum humidity level is the larger absolute humidity of the -12°C (10.4°F) dew point and the 8% relative humidity. These levels intersect at approximately 25°C (77°F). Below this intersection, the dew point (-12°C) represents the minimum moisture level, while above it, the relative humidity (8%) is the minimum. For the upper moisture limit, the limit is the minimum absolute humidity of the dew point and relative humidity that is stated.
  4. The following minimum requirements apply to data centers that are operated at low relative humidity:
    • Data centers that have do not have ESD floors and where people are allowed to wear non-ESD shoes might want to consider increasing humidity given that the risk of generating 8 kV increases slightly at 8% relative humidity, when compared to 25% relative humidity.
    • All mobile furnishings and equipment must be made of conductive or static dissipative materials and be bonded to ground.
    • During maintenance on any hardware, a properly functioning and grounded wrist strap must be used by any personnel who comes in contact with information technology (IT) equipment.
  5. Equipment that 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.

Notes:
  1. Declared level LWA,m is the upper-limit A-weighted sound power level. Declared level LPA,m is the mean A-weighted emission sound pressure level that is measured at the 1-meter bystander positions.
  2. The statistical adder for verification, Kv, is a quantity to be added to the declared mean A-weighted sound power level, LWA,m, such that there is a 95% probability of acceptance, when using the verification procedures of ISO 9296, if no more than 6.5% of the batch of new equipment has A-weighted sound power levels greater than (LWA,m + Kv).
  3. The quantity LWA,c (formerly called LWAd), can be computed from the sum of LWA,m and Kv.
  4. All measurements made in conformance with ISO 7779 and declared in conformance with ISO 9296.
  5. 10 dB (decibel) equals 1 B (bel).
  6. Notice: Government regulations (such as those prescribed by OSHA or European Community Directives) might govern noise level exposure in the workplace and might apply to you and your server installation. This IBM system is available in racks with optional acoustical door features that can help reduce the noise that is emitted from this system. The actual sound pressure levels in your installation depend upon various factors, including the number of racks in the installation; the size, materials, and configuration of the room where you designate the racks to be installed; the noise levels from other equipment; the room ambient temperature, and employees' location in relation to the equipment. Further, compliance with such government regulations also depends upon various extra factors, including the duration of employees' exposure and whether employees wear hearing protection. IBM recommends that you consult with qualified experts in this field to determine whether you are in compliance with the applicable regulations.
