8 Power, thermal, and acoustics PowerEdge servers have an extensive collection of sensors that automatically track thermal activity, which helps regulate temperature thereby reducing server noise and power consumption. The table below lists the tools and technologies Dell offers to lower power consumption and increase energy efficiency. Topics: • • • Power Thermal Acoustics Power Table 13.
Table 13. Power tools and technologies (continued) Feature Description Rack infrastructure Dell offers some of the industry's highest-efficiency power infrastructure solutions, including: ● Power distribution units (PDUs) ● Uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs) ● Energy Smart containment rack enclosures Find additional information at: https://www.delltechnologies.com/en-us/servers/power-andcooling.htm.
Figure 8. Thermal design characteristics The thermal design of the PowerEdge T150 reflects the following: ● Optimized thermal design: The system layout is architected for optimum thermal design. ● System component placement and layout are designed to provide maximum airflow coverage to critical components with minimum expense of fan power.
Transient response refers to how sound changes with time. Sound power level, sound pressure level and loudness refer to amplitude of sound. A reference for comparison to sound pressure levels and loudness for familiar noise sources is given in the table below. Table 15.
Table 16. Dell Enterprise Category 1, “Table-top in Office Environment” acoustical specification category. (continued) Measurement Position re AC0158 Metric, re AC0159 Test Modes, re AC0159 (note must be in steady state, see AC0159, except where noted below) Sound Quality (both positions must meet limits): Front Binaural HEAD and Rear Microphone Tones, Hz, dB No prominent tones per criteria D.10.6 and D.10.8 of ECMA-74 Report tones Tonality, tu ≤ 0.35 ≤ 0.35 ≤ 0.
Acoustical performance Dell EMC PowerEdge T150 is a tower server appropriate for quiet office environment. The acoustical output is usually not noticeable in a typical office environment. Table 17.
L pA,m : The declared mean A-weighted emission sound pressure level is at the bystander position per section 5.3 of ISO 9296 (2017) and measured using methods described in ISO 7779 (2010). The system is placed in a 24U rack enclosure, 25 cm above a reflective floor. Data presented here may not be fully compliant with ISO 7779. Prominent tones: Criteria of D.6 and D.11 of ECMA-74 are followed to determine if discrete tones are prominent and to report them, if so.
9 Supported operating systems The PowerEdge T150 system supports the following operating systems: ● ● ● ● ● Canonical Ubuntu Server LTS Citrix Hypervisor Microsoft Windows Server with Hyper-V Red Hat Enterprise Linux SUSE Linux Enterprise Server For more information, go to www.dell.com/ossupport.
