Each increment is referred toas a unit, or “U.” A 1-U-high device is 4.45 cm(1.75 inches) tall.Integrated functions:v Baseboard management controller (IntelligentPlatform Management Interface (IPMI) 2.0compliant)v Service microprocessor support for RemoteSupervisor Adapter II SlimLinev Light path diagnosticsv ServeRAID-8k (512 MB with battery backup)and ServeRAID-8s SAS Controllers supportRAID levels 0, 1, 1E, ,10, 5, 6, 50, and 60Note: The server will not start without aRAID controller installed.– Eight 3.5–inch hard disk drive models:ServeRAID-8k-l or ServeRAID-8k– Twelve 2.5-inch hard disk drive models:ServeRAID-8k and ServeRAID-8sv Four Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports (2.0)– Two on rear of server– Two on front of serverv Broadcom 5721 and 5721KFB3 10/100/1000Gigabit Ethernet controllersv ATI PCI ES1000 video– 16 MB video memory– VGA and SVGA compatiblev ATA-100 single-channel IDE controller (busmastering)v Vitesse VSC7250 SAS/SATA RAID controllerv Mouse connectorv Keyboard connectorv Serial connectorAcoustical noise emissions:v Sound power, idle: 5.5 bel declaredv Sound power, operating: 6.0 bel declaredEnvironment:v Air temperature:– Server on: 10° to 35°C (50.0° to 95.0°F);altitude: 0 to 2134 m (7000 ft)– Server off: -40° to 60°C (-40.0° to 140.4°F);maximum altitude: 2134 m (7000 ft)v Humidity:– Server on: 8% to 80%– Server off: 8% to 80%Heat output:Approximate heat output in British thermal units(Btu) per hour:v Minimum configuration: 2013 Btu per hour (590watts)v Maximum configuration: 2951 Btu per hour (865watts)Electrical input:v Sine-wave input (50-60 Hz) requiredv Input voltage low range:– Minimum: 100 V ac– Maximum: 127 V acv Input voltage high range:– Minimum: 200 V ac– Maximum: 240 V acv Approximate input kilovolt-amperes (kVA):– Minimum: 0.60 kVA– Maximum: 0.88 kVANotes:1. Power consumption and heat output varydepending on the number and type of optionalfeatures that are installed and thepower-management optional features that arein use.2. These levels were measured in controlledacoustical environments according to theprocedures that are specified by the AmericanNational Standards Institute (ANSI) S12.10 andISO 7779 and are reported in accordance withISO 9296. Actual sound-pressure levels in agiven location might exceed the average statedvalues because of room reflections and othernearby noise sources. The declaredsound-power levels indicate an upper limit,below which a large number of computers willoperate.Chapter 1. The System x3500 server 3
