Dell Information Update E User Guide
Summary
Technical specification update for expanded operating temperature range support on Dell PowerEdge R710, R610, and T610 servers. Defines continuous operation at 10-35 degrees C, expanded range of 5-40 degrees C for 10% of annual hours, and extreme range of -5 to 45 degrees C for 1% of annual hours. Specifies altitude de-rating rules and hardware restrictions including CPU TDP limits, redundant power supply requirements, and unsupported drive configurations. Intended for data center administrators operating servers in non-standard thermal environments.

Expanded Operating Temperature Range—Information Update Technical Specifications NOTE: Dell now supports expanded operating temperature ranges for Power Edge R710, R610, and T610, subject to expanded temperature ranges and hardware restrictions detailed below. Environmental Operating Temperature Continuous 10 °C to 35 °C at 10% to 80% relative humidity (RH), operation with °C dew point.
De-rate maximum allowable dry bulb temperature by °C/300 meters above 900 meters (1 °F per 550 feet).
Expanded Operating Temperature Range
10% of annual 5 °C to 40 °C, 5% to 85% RH with 26 °C dew point. operating hours
For temperatures between 35 °C and 40 °C, de-rate maximum allowable dry bulb temperature by 1 °C/175 meters above meters (1 °F per 319 feet).
1% of annual –5 °C to 45 °C, 5% to 90% RH with 26 °C dew point. operating hours
For temperatures between 40 °C and 45 °C, de-rate maximum allowable dry bulb temperature by 1 °C/125 meters above meters (1 °F per 228 feet).
NOTE: When operating in the expanded temperature range, ambient temperature warnings may be reported on the LCD and in the System Event Log. NOTE: Do not perform a cold startup below 5 °C. NOTE: The operating temperature specified is for a maximum altitude of 3,050 meters (10,000 feet).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standard operating temperature range?
The continuous operation range is 10 °C to 35 °C at 10% to 80% RH with a 26 °C dew point.
What special equipment do I need for expanded temperature ranges?
You must use redundant power supply units, and the PowerEdge T610 requires redundant fan configuration.
Are there limits on hardware when using the extreme temperatures?
The CPU thermal design power must not exceed 95 W. Also, PowerEdge R610 cannot use SATA hard drives.
