Power consumption and energy efficiency With the rise in the cost of energy coupled with increasing data center density, Dell provides tools and technologies to help you realize greater performance with less energy cost and waste. More efficient data center usage can reduce costs by slowing the need for additional center space.
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)
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.
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.
ReadyRails for the R220 are designed so that the inner chassis must first be attached to the sides of the system and then inserted into the outer cabinet in the rack. Figure 7. R220 mounted in a 4-post square hole rack 27 Dell PowerEdge R220 Technical Guide...
The static rails for the R220 support a wide variety of racks and mounting configurations but do not support the ability to extend the system out of the rack for service and do not provide support for a cable management arm (CMA). 28 Dell PowerEdge R220 Technical Guide...
10 Operating systems and virtualization The Dell PowerEdge R220 supports a wide range of industry-standard operating systems and virtualization software. Supported operating systems Table 17 lists the primary operating systems supported on the R220. For the latest information on supported operating systems, see Dell.com/OSsupport.
The advanced management capabilities of Dell OpenManage also integrates into offerings from other popular systems management solutions that you may already use, making Dell platforms easy to manage and deploy in any IT environment. This ensures your IT services are available when your business needs them.
