Notes:
1. L is the upper-limit A-weighted sound level; LpAm is the mean A-weighted sound pressure level measured at
WAd
the 1-meter bystander positions; 1 B = 10 dB.
2. All measurements made in conformance with ISO 7779 and declared in conformance with ISO 9296.
3. Attention: Your server installation may be subject to government regulations (such as those prescribed by
OSHA or European Community Directives) that cover noise-level exposure in the workplace. The Eserver
pSeries 7040-W42 rack is available with an optional-acoustical-door feature. This feature can reduce the
likelihood of exceeding the noise-level-exposure limits for racks that are "densly populated" with Eserver
pSeries 7039-651 processor nodes. The actual sound-pressure levels in your installation will depend on a variety
of factors, including the number of racks that are installed; the size, materials, and configuration of the room
where the racks are installed; the noise levels from other equipment; the room ambient temperature; and
employees' location in relation to the equipment. It is recommended that a qualified person, such as an industrial
hygienist, be consulted to determine if the sound-pressure levels that employees may be exposed to exceed
regulatory limits.
