     Idle power enables Dell servers to run as efficiently when idle as when at full workload. With the thermal design and reliability of Dell products, certain configurations have the capability to operate at excursion-based temperatures beyond the industry standard of 35°C (95°F) up to 45°C (113°F)
  • Page 25: Thermal And Acoustics

    88.0% 85.0% Thermal and acoustics The PowerEdge R220 was designed with the goal to offer a class leading chassis depth all while meeting the acoustical requirements for office environment. Thermal design The system’s PWM fan is controlled by the iDRAC. The thermal sensor on front control board senses the ambient temperature and adjusts the fan speed accordingly.
  • Page 26: Acoustical Design

    The acoustical design of the PowerEdge R220 reflects the following:  Versatility: The PowerEdge R220 saves you power draw in the data center, but is quiet enough for the office environment in typical and minimum configurations. Compare the values for LpA in Table 15 for these configurations, and note that they are lower than ambient measurements of typical office environments.
