Thermal and acoustics
Optimized thermal management makes the PowerEdge R620 cool and quiet. Benefiting from smart
cooling fan speed control, the R620 can keep both high performance and good acoustics across a
wide range of ambient temperatures from 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F) and to extended ambient
temperature ranges (see Table 33). Operating environments for the R620 can vary from the data
center to general-use spaces. In typical and minimum configurations, the R620 is quiet enough to
be used in an office environment.
Thermal design
The thermal design of the PowerEdge R620 reflects the following:
 Multiple sensors are monitored for thermal feedback control: The PowerEdge R620
dynamically controls system cooling fan speed based on responses from all component
temperature sensors, including processors, hard disk drives, DIMMs, storage cards and the inlet
ambient temperature. Thermal control detects and responds to hardware configuration. Thermal
