30 PowerEdge M620 Technical GuideFeature DescriptionActive power managementIntel Node Manager is an embedded technology that provides individualserver-level power reporting and power limiting functionality. Dell offers acomplete power management solution comprised of Intel Node Manageraccessed through Dell iDRAC7 Enterprise and OpenManage Power Centerthat allows policy-based management of power and thermals at theindividual server, rack and data center level.Hot spare reduces power consumption of redundant power supplies.Thermal control of fan speed optimizes the thermal settings for yourenvironment to reduce fan consumption and lower system powerconsumption.Idle power enables Dell servers to run as efficiently when idle as when at fullworkload.Dell Fresh Air coolingWith the thermal design and reliability of Dell products, you can have thecapability to operate at excursion-based temperatures beyond the industrystandard of 35°C (95°F) up to 45°C (113°F) for excursionary periods of timeand up to a 26°C dew point at 90% relative humidity; without impacting youravailability model.
