Racks are marked in vertical increments
of 4.45 cm (1.75 inches). Each increment
is referred to as a unit, or "U." A 1-U-high
device is 4.45 cm (1.75 inches) tall.

v Mouse connector
v Keyboard connector
v Serial connector
Acoustical noise emissions:
v Sound power, idle: 6.6 bel declared
v Sound power, operating: 6.6 bel
declared
Environment:
v Air temperature:
– Server on:
- 10° to 35°C (50° to 95°F); altitude:
0 to 914 m (3000 ft). If the server
has a dual-core microprocessor, at
maximum power reduce the 35°C
by 1°C per 300 m above sea level,
or the microprocessor might throttle
to remain within the internal thermal
specifications.
- 10° to 32°C (50° to 90°F); altitude:
914 m to 2133 m (7000 ft.)
v Humidity:
– Server on: 8% to 80%
– Server off: 8% to 80%
Electrical input:
v Sine-wave input (50-60 Hz) required
v Input voltage high range:
– Minimum: 200 V ac
– Maximum: 240 V ac
v Approximate input kilovolt-amperes (kVA):
– Minimum: 0.08 kVA
– Maximum: 1.6 kVA
Notes:
1. Power consumption and heat output
vary depending on the number and type
of optional features installed and the
power-management optional features in
use.
2. These levels were measured in
controlled acoustical environments
according to the procedures specified by
the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) S12.10 and ISO 7779
and are reported in accordance with ISO
9296. Actual sound-pressure levels in a
given location might exceed the average
values stated because of room
reflections and other nearby noise
sources. The declared sound-power
levels indicate an upper limit, below
which a large number of computers will
operate.
