NOTE: If a system with 1100 W AC or HVDC PSU operates from 100 to 120V, the power rating per PSU is derated to 1050

W.

NOTE: If a system with 1600 W PSUs operates from 100 to 120 V, then the power rating per PSU is derated to 800 W.

NOTE: Heat dissipation is calculated using the PSU wattage rating.

NOTE: This system is also designed to connect to the IT power systems with a phase to phase voltage not exceeding 230

V.

NOTE: PSUs rated for 1600 W and higher require high-line voltage (200-240 V) to supply their rated capacity.

Hot spare feature

Your system supports the hot spare feature that significantly reduces the power overhead associated with power supply unit (PSU) redundancy.

When the hot spare feature is enabled, one of the redundant PSUs is switched to the sleep state. The active PSU supports 100 percent of the system load, thus operating at higher efficiency. The PSU in the sleep state monitors output voltage of the active PSU. If the output voltage of the active PSU drops, the PSU in the sleep state returns to an active output state.

If having both PSUs active is more efficient than having one PSU in the sleep state, the active PSU can also activate the sleeping PSU.

The default PSU settings are as follows:

If the load on the active PSU is more than 50 percent of PSU rated power wattage, then the redundant PSU is switched to the active state.

If the load on the active PSU falls below 20 percent of PSU rated power wattage, then the redundant PSU is switched to the sleep state.

You can configure the hot spare feature by using the iDRAC settings. For more information, see the iDRAC Users Guide available at .

Technical specifications 17

System battery specifications The R640 system supports CR 2032 3.0-V lithium coin cell system batteries.

NVDIMM-N: 32 GB NVDIMM-N: 96 GB

NOTE: 8 GB RDIMMs and NVDIMM-Ns must not be mixed.

NOTE: A minimum of two CPUs are required for any configurations that support NVDIMM-N.

General memory module installation guidelines

To ensure optimal performance of your system, observe the following general guidelines when configuring your system memory: If your system's memory configurations fail to observe these guidelines, your system might not boot, stop responding during memory configuration, or operate with reduced memory.

The memory bus operating frequency can be 2933 MT/s or 2666 MT/s, 2400 MT/s and 2100 MT/s depending on the following factors: Maximum supported DIMM speed of the processors Maximum supported speed of the DIMMs

NOTE: MT/s indicates DIMM speed in MegaTransfers per second.

The following are the recommended guidelines for installing memory modules:

All DIMMs must be DDR4. RDIMMs and LRDIMMs must not be mixed. NVDIMMs and LRDIMMs must not be mixed. NVDIMMs and RDIMMs can be mixed. x4 and x8 DRAM based memory modules can be mixed. Up to two RDIMMs can be populated per channel regardless of rank count. A maximum of two different ranked DIMMs can be populated in a channel regardless of rank count. Populate memory module sockets only if a processor is installed.

For dual-processor systems, sockets A1 to A12 and sockets B1 to B12 are available.

NOTE: PowerFlex appliance only supports dual socket memory.

Populate all the sockets with white release tabs first, followed by the black release tabs. When mixing memory modules with different capacities, populate the sockets with memory modules with the highest

capacity first. Memory modules of different capacities can be mixed provided other memory population rules are followed.

For example, 8 GB and 16 GB memory modules can be mixed.

In a dual-processor configuration, the memory configuration for each processor must be identical.

For example, if you populate socket A1 for processor 1, then populate socket B1 for processor 2, and so on.

Mixing of more than two memory module capacities in a system is not supported. Unbalanced memory configurations result in a performance loss so always populate memory channels identically with

identical DIMMs for best performance.

20 Technical specifications

Populate six identical memory modules per processor (one DIMM per channel) at a time to maximize performance. To ensure proper system cooling, memory module blanks must be installed in memory sockets that are not occupied. DIMM population update for Performance Optimized mode with quantity of 4 and 8 DIMMs per processor. When the DIMM quantity is 4 per processor, the population is slot 1, 2, 4, 5.

NVDIMM-N memory module installation guidelines

The following are the recommended guidelines for installing NVDIMM-N memory modules:

Each system supports memory configurations with 2, 4, or 6 NVDIMM-Ns. Supported configurations have dual processors and a minimum of 12x RDIMMs. Maximum of 6 NVDIMM-Ns can be installed in a system. DDR4 NVDIMM-Ns must be populated only on the black release tabs on processor 1 and 2.

Optimizer mode

This mode supports Single Device Data Correction (SDDC) only for memory modules that use x4 device width. It does not impose any specific slot population requirements.

Dual processor: Populate the slots in round robin sequence starting with processor 1.

NOTE: Processor 1 and processor 2 population should match.

Table 13. Memory population rules

Blinking amber Indicates a problem with the PSU.

Not illuminated Power is not connected to the PSU.

Blinking green When the firmware of the PSU is being updated, the PSU handle blinks green.

CAUTION: Do not disconnect the power cable, or unplug the PSU when updating firmware. If a firmware update is interrupted, the PSUs do not function.

Blinking green and turns off When hot-plugging a PSU, the PSU handle blinks green five times at a rate of 4 Hz and turns off. This indicates a PSU mismatch regarding efficiency, feature set, health status, or supported voltage.

CAUTION: If two PSUs are installed, both the PSUs must have the same type of label; for example, the Extended Power Performance (EPP) label. Mixing PSUs from previous generations of systems based on PowerEdge servers is not supported, even if the PSUs have the same power rating. This results in a PSU mismatch condition, or failure to turn on the system.

CAUTION: When correcting a PSU mismatch, replace only the PSU with the blinking indicator. Swapping the PSU to make a matched pair can result in an error condition and unexpected system shutdown. To change from a high output configuration to a low output configuration or conversely, you must turn off the system. AC PSUs support both 240 V and 120 V input voltages except for Titanium PSUs, which support only 240 V. When two identical PSUs receive

Trusted Platform Module The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a dedicated microprocessor designed to secure hardware by integrating cryptographic keys into devices. Software can use a TPM to authenticate hardware devices.

Because each TPM chip contains a unique and secret RSA key embedded during the TPM's manufacture, the TPM is capable of performing platform authentication.

The TPM must be replaced only while installing a new system board.

Upgrading the Trusted Platform Module

Prerequisites

Follow all safety guidelines. Ensure that your operating system supports the version of the TPM being installed. Ensure that you download and install the latest BIOS firmware on your system. Ensure that the BIOS is configured to enable UEFI boot mode.

About this task

CAUTION: If you are using the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) with an encryption key, you may be prompted

to create a recovery key during program or System Setup. Ensure that you create and safely store this recovery

key. If you replace this system board, you must supply the recovery key when you restart your system or

program before you can access the encrypted data on your hard drives.

CAUTION: After the TPM plug-in module is installed, it is cryptographically bound to that specific system board.

Any attempt to remove an installed TPM plug-in module breaks the cryptographic binding, the removed TPM

cannot be reinstalled or installed on another system board.

Initialize the TPM for BitLocker users

Steps

Initialize the TPM.

For more information, see https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753140.aspx.
