1Power draw and heat load vary greatly by configuration. When planning for an electrical system, it is important to use maximum values. However, when planning for heat load, the IBM® Systems Energy Estimator allows a user to obtain a heat output estimate based on a specific configuration. See The IBM Systems Energy Estimator web site for more information.

Note: 6 Government regulations (such as those prescribed by Occupational Safety and Health Administration (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 with an optional acoustical door feature that can help reduce the noise emitted from this system. The actual sound pressure levels in your installation depend on; a variety of factors, including the number of racks in the installation, the size, materials, the 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. Compliance with such government regulations also depends on a variety of additional factors, including the duration of employees' exposure and whether employees wear hearing protection. It is recommended that you consult qualified experts in this field to determine whether you are in compliance with the applicable regulations.
