Thermal control also detects and responds to hardware configuration. Thermal management adjusts cooling according to what the system really needs, and draws lower fan power draw and generates lower acoustical noise levels than those without such controls.  Environmental specifications: The optimized thermal management makes the PowerEdge M620 reliable under a wide range of operating environments as shown in Table 24. When operating above 30°C ambient, performance impacts may be seen. For more information see the Dell PowerEdge M620 Systems Owner's Manual on Support.Dell.com/Manuals. The acoustical performance of the PowerEdge M620 is reflected in Table 16. The addition of some components can cause an increase in fan speed and acoustical output. Contributors to acoustical output can include:  The system thermal profile selected in BIOS (for example, Power optimized DAPC or Performance optimized)  Express Flash PCIe SSDs  NDC  Number of installed processors  Population of modular, non-homogenous modular deployment  Impedance of blanks Configuration (23 ± 2°C ambient) CPUs Minimum 1 x 80W (4 core) Hard drives 1 x SATA (7.2K) DIMMs HDD controller NDC PCI cards Operating mode 4 x 4GB Onboard SATA None Any mezz. card Standby3 Idle4 LWA-UL1 (bels) 6.8 7.4 LpA2 (dBA) 54 59 Typical 2 x 95W 2 x SAS (8 core) (10K) 16 x 8GB PERC H310 (mini) 1Gb Any mezz. card Standby3 Idle4 6.7 7.8 53 62 1LWA-UL is the upper limit sound power levels (LWA) calculated per section 4.4.1 of ISO 9296 (1988) and measured in accordance to ISO 7779 (2010). 2LpA is the average A-weighted sound pressure level from the four bystander positions calculated per section 4.3 of ISO 9296 (1988) and measured in accordance with ISO 7779 (2010).
