Feature
Description
Active power management
Intel Node Manager is an embedded technology that provides individual
server-level power reporting and power limiting functionality. Dell offers a
complete power management solution comprised of Intel Node Manager
accessed through Dell iDRAC7 Enterprise and OpenManage Power Center
that allows policy-based management of power and thermals at the
individual server, rack and data center level.
Hot spare reduces power consumption of redundant power supplies.
Thermal control of fan speed optimizes the thermal settings for your
environment to reduce fan consumption and lower system power
consumption.
Idle power enables Dell servers to run as efficiently when idle as when at full
workload.
Dell Fresh Air cooling
With the thermal design and reliability of Dell products, certain
configurations have the capability to operate at excursion-based
temperatures beyond the industry standard of 35°C (95°F) up to 45°C (113°F)
for excursionary periods of time and up to a 26°C dew point at 90% relative
humidity; without impacting your availability model. Find additional
information at Dell.com/FreshAir.
Rack infrastructure
Dell offers some of the industry’s highest-efficiency power infrastructure
solutions, including:
Power distribution units (PDUs)
Uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs)
Energy Smart containment rack enclosures

Power supply units
The M1000e chassis enclosure provides power and cooling for the M620 blade server. For
information on the M1000e power supply units, see the
PowerEdge M1000e Technical Guide
on
Dell.com/PowerEdge.
Thermal and acoustics
Optimized thermal management keeps fan speeds in the PowerEdge M620 as low as possible,
contributing to quiet operation and ensuring proper component cooling.
Thermal design
The thermal design of the PowerEdge M620 reflects the following:
Comprehensive thermal management: The PowerEdge M620 dynamically controls system
cooling fan speed, based on responses from critical sensors that monitor the temperature of
several components, including:
— Processors
— DIMMs
— System inlet ambient
