5.7 Energy Smart Enablement

The 11G family of PowerEdge servers implements aspects of Dell’s Energy Smart strategy. This

strategy offers the following:

• Energy Smart components on a portfolio level, such as high-capacity and Energy Smart power

supplies

• Systems with either a lowest power footprint configuration or a best performance per watt

configuration

• Energy Smart components (such as DIMMs or hard drives) selected without cherry picking or

screening individual manufacturer’s components based on energy consumption

5.8 Energy Star Compliance

ENERGY STAR

qualified configurations can be accessed from the ENERGY STAR Compliance results

landing page on Dell.com.

5.9 Acoustics

The acoustical design of the PowerEdge R610 reflects adherence to Dell’s high sound quality

standards. Sound quality is different from sound power level and sound pressure level in that it

describes how humans respond to annoyances in sound, like whistles, hums, etc. One of the sound

quality metrics in the Dell specification is prominence ratio of a tone as shown in Table 7.

The acoustical specification for the R610 is Category II-D.

Definitions

Idle: Reference ISO7779 (1999) definition 3.1.7; system is running in its OS but no other specific

activity.

Stressed Processor: An operating mode per ISO7779 (1999) definition 3.1.6. The software

SPECPower_ssj2008 is utilized to stress the processors. SPECPower is set to 50% loading.

LwA – UL: The upper limit sound power level (LwA) calculated per section 4.4.2 of ISO 9296 (1988)

and measured in accordance to ISO 7779 (1999).

LpA: Average bystander A-Weighted sound pressure level. The system is placed in a rack with its

bottom at 25 cm from the floor. The acoustic transducers are at the four bystander positions, ref

ISO7779 (1999) Section 8.6.2.

Prominent tone: Criteria of D.5 and D.8 of ECMA-74 9th ed. (2005) are followed to determine if

discrete tones are prominent. The system is placed in a rack with its bottom at 75 cm from the floor.

The acoustic transducer is at front bystander position, ref ISO7779 (1999) Section 8.6.2.
