For temperatures between 40 °C and 45 °C, de-rate maximum allowable dry bulb temperature by 1 °C per 125 m above 950 m (1 °F per 228 ft).

Expanded operating temperature 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.
