Thermal and acoustics
The PowerEdge R220 was designed with the goal to offer a class leading chassis depth all while
meeting the acoustical requirements for office environment.
Thermal design
The system's PWM fan is controlled by the iDRAC. The thermal sensor on front control board senses
the ambient temperature and adjusts the fan speed accordingly. In a normal office environment the
fan spins slower, resulting in low acoustics. The fan RPM begins to ramp up with temperature to
satisfy cooling requirements at higher ambient temperatures, and different system configuration
(e.g. RAID card installation).
Optimized thermal management makes PowerEdge R220 cool and quiet with efficiency
improvements that save energy. Benefiting from a smart cooling thermal control algorithm, R220
