Server lift is required
WARNING:The system is heavy, so ensure
adequate support and balance during movement and installation; a lift is required
for loads over 120 lb, as the system can slide and cause damage when being installed
or removed from a higher position on the rack.
CAUTION: Lift the system by using the
provided lifting handles on the chassis and refrain from using clips or other
chassis points to lift the system. Non-designated lift-points on the chassis may
cause system damage due to the inability to support the system weight while lifting.

The power consumption of the system depends on its total power requirements,
which vary based on the configuration (e.g., number of GPUs, PSUs, and other
components). Each PSU model (2800W, 3000W, 3200W) is capable of delivering power up
to its rated capacity, but the actual power delivered will depend on the system’s
needs.
To determine how much power each PSU delivers, the total system power
requirement is divided by the number of PSUs in the system. For detailed power usage
information, please refer to the iDRAC web GUI for real-time power metrics and
system monitoring.
NOTE:3000 W (Multi-rated) PSUs are only
supported by the PowerEdge XE9680 system with Gaudi3 GPUs.
NOTE:PowerEdgeXE9680 system supports 5+1 PSU redundancy which
means only one PSU is redundant. A/B Grid Redundant setting in iDRAC is not
supported.
The PowerEdge XE9680 system also supports 3+3 FTR redundancy. When the Redundancy
policy is set to PSU redundant, and two or more PSUs fail, a fault-tolerant
redundant mode is activated. This mode triggers the GPU power brake, throttling GPU
clocks to one-fourth their normal rate, and resulting in a GPU performance drop to
around one-fifth. It's important to note that this feature is applicable only when
the system is set to PSU redundant mode. In configurations where PSU redundancy is
not enabled, the fault-tolerant redundant mode does not automatically trigger GPU
Power Brake. Figure 1. Power
Configuration
NOTE:This system is also designed to
connect to the IT power systems with a phase-to-phase voltage not exceeding 240 V.
NOTE:Heat dissipation is calculated
using the PSU wattage rating.
NOTE:Do not mix PSUs from different
vendors within a single system configuration to ensure optimal performance and
reliability.

NOTE:When selecting or upgrading the system configuration, to ensure optimum power utilization, verify the system power consumption with the Enterprise Infrastructure Planning Tool available at
calc.

Particulate and gaseous contamination specifications
The following table defines the limitations that help avoid any damages to the IT equipment and/or, or both failure from particulate and gaseous contamination. If the levels of particulate or gaseous pollution exceed the specified limitations and results in equipment damage or failure, you must rectify the environmental conditions. Remediation of environmental conditions is the responsibility of the customer.

This condition applies only to data center environments. Air filtration requirements do not apply to IT equipment designed to be used outside a data center, in environments such as an office or factory floor. Air entering the data center must have MERV11 or MERV13 filtration. Conductive dust specification: Air must be free of conductive dust, zinc whiskers, or other conductive particles. This condition applies to data center and non-data center environments. Corrosive dust specification: Air must be free of corrosive dust.

NOTE:Note: When GPUs are installed, the iDRAC sets the thermal warning threshold to 38°C for NVIDIA and AMD GPUs. If the System Board Inlet Temperature reaches this threshold, a warning message is logged, and the GPUs may reduce power consumption to prevent thermal damage, leading to decreased performance. For Intel GPUs, the thermal warning threshold is set to 33°C. Similar to NVIDIA and AMD GPUs, reaching this temperature may also trigger power reduction and impact performance.
