Table 26 details the environmental specifications for the R420. For the most up-to-date information,see theDell PowerEdge R420 Systems Owner’s Manual and theDell PowerEdge R420 GettingStarted Guide on Support.Dell.com/Manuals. For additional information about environmentalmeasurements for specific system configurations, see www.dell.com/environmental_datasheets.TemperatureContinuousoperation10°C to 35°C at 10% to 80% relative humidity (RH), with 26°C max dew point. De-ratemaximum allowable dry bulb temperature at 1°C per 300m above 900m (1°F per 550 ft).Expandedoperation10% of annual operating hours: 5°C to 40°C, 5% to 85% RH with 26°C dew point. Fortemperatures between 35°C and 40°C, the de-rate maximum allowable dry bulbtemperature is 1°C/175 m above 950 m (1°F per 319 ft).1% of annual operating hours: –5°C to 45°C, 5% to 90% RH with 26°C dew point. Fortemperatures between 40°C and 45°C de-rate maximum allowable dry bulb temperatureis 1°C/125 m above 950 m (1°F per 228 ft).Restrictions: No cold startup below 5°C.
