EOT restrictions

• Do not perform a cold startup below 5 °C.

 

Maximum 95 W processor is supported.

The following do not support the expanded operating temperature range:

PCIe SSDs

LRDIMMs

Non Dell-qualified peripheral cards and/or peripheral cards greater than 25 W

Dell PowerEdge RAID Controller (PERC) H710/ H710P cards (in dual-processor configurations)

When populating the blade slots in the M1000e enclosure with only PowerEdge M620 blades:

Install only 97 mm wide heat sink(s).

Dual-processor blades with PERC H310 cards cannot be mixed with single-processor blades.

If you install a blade with two processors and a PERC H310 card in the M1000e enclosure, all blade slots in the enclosure must have PowerEdge M620 blades with the same configuration (PowerEdge M620 blades with two processors and a PERC H310 card). However, vacant blade slots in the enclosure can be installed with blade blanks.
