Supported environment
The NeXtScale nx360 M5 compute node complies with ASHRAE class A3 specifications. The supported
environment when powered on is as follows:
Temperature: 5°C - 40°C (41°F - 104°F) up to 950 m (3,117 ft)

Above 950m, de-rated maximum air temperature 1C / 175m

Humidity, non-condensing: -12°C dew point (10.4°F) and 8% - 85% relative humidity

Maximum dew point: 24°C (75°F)

Maximum altitude: 3050 m (10,000 ft) and 5°C - 28°C (41°F - 82°F)

The minimum humidity level for class A3 is the higher (more moisture) of the -12°C dew point and the 8%
relative humidity. These intersect at approximately 25°C. Below this intersection (~25°C), the dew point
(-12°C) represents the minimum moisture level, while above it relative humidity (8%) is the minimum.
Moisture levels lower than 0.5°C DP, but not lower -10 °C DP or 8% relative humidity, can be accepted if
appropriate control measures are implemented to limit the generation of static electricity on personnel and
equipment in the data center. All personnel and mobile furnishings and equipment must be connected to
ground through an appropriate static control system. The following items are considered the minimum
requirements:
Conductive materials (conductive flooring, conductive footwear on all personnel that go into the data

center, and all mobile furnishings and equipment will be made of conductive or static dissipative
materials).
During maintenance on any hardware, a properly functioning wrist strap must be used by any

personnel who come into contact with IT equipment.
If you adhere to ASHRAE Class A3, Temperature: 36°C - 40°C (96.8°F - 104°F) with relaxed support:
A support cloud like workload with no performance degradation is acceptable (Turbo-Off).

Under no circumstance can any combination of worst case workload and configuration result in

system shutdown or design exposure at 40°C.
The worst case workload (like Linpack and Turbo-On) might have performance degradation.

