• Particulate contamination:
Attention: Design to ASHRAE Class A3, ambient of 40°C, wit relaxed support:
– T e system will support cloud-like workload wit no performance degradation acceptable (Turbo-
Off).
– Under no circumstance can any combination of worst-case workload and configuration result in
system s utdown or design exposure at 40°C.
Drives (depending on the model):
• Hard disk drives: up to four 3.5-inc simple-swap SATA
• One of t e following SATA attac ed optical drives:
– DVD-ROM
– Tape drive
Drive bays (depending on the model):
• Two 5.25-inc alf- ig bays (one optical drive installed).
• Four 3.5-inc ard disk drive bays
Attention: As a general consideration, do not mix standard 512-byte and advanced 4-KB format drives
in t e same RAID array because it mig t lead to potential performance issues.
