Notes:
IBM Real-time Compression Appliance can significantly improve energy consumption efficiency by reducing the amount of disk space required for NAS data.
IBM Real-time Compression Appliance has altitude- and temperature-controlled fans that adjust to compensate for changing thermal characteristics. At lower speeds they draw less power and suffer less wear. Temperature-controlled fans produce less ambient noise in the data center than if they were constantly running at full speed.
Thermal output 525 – 3,480 Btu/hr (123 – 1,020 W)
Operating environment
Operating temperature range 10°C – 35°C (50°F – 95°F) at 0 m – 915 m (0 ft – 3,000 ft);
10°C – 32°C (50°F – 90°F) at 915 m – 2,133 m (3,000 ft – 7,000 ft)
Maximum altitude 2,133 m (7,000 ft)
Compliance RoHS-compliant
