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 can keep both high performance and good acoustics across a wide range of ambient temperatures
(10 °C ~ 35 °C).
25 Dell PowerEdge R220 Technical Guide
Acoustical design
The acoustical design of the PowerEdge R220 reflects the following:
Versatility: The PowerEdge R220 saves you power draw in the data center, but is quiet enough for the office environment in typical and minimum configurations. Compare the values for LpA in
Table 15 for these configurations, and note that they are lower than ambient measurements of
typical office environments.
Adherence to Dell’s high sound quality standards: Sound quality is different from sound power level and sound pressure level in that it describes how humans respond to annoyances in sound, like whistles and hums. One of the sound quality metrics in the Dell specification is prominence
ratio of a tone, which is listed in Table 15.
Noise ramp and descent during bootup from power off: Fan speeds and noise levels ramp during the boot process (from power off to power on) in order to add a layer of protection for component cooling in the case that the system were not to boot properly. To keep bootup as quiet as possible, the fan speed reached during bootup is limited to about half of full speed.
Table 15 details the acoustical performance for the R220.

Agent-based systems management
Most systems management solutions require pieces of software, called agents, to be installed on each node in order to be managed within the IT environment. Additionally, the same agent is often used as a local interface into the hardware health and may be accessed remotely as a management interface, typically referred to as a one-to-one interface. For customers that continue to use agentbased solutions, Dell provides OpenManage Server Administrator.
OpenManage Server Administrator
The Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) agent gives you a comprehensive, one-to-one systems management solution for both local and remote servers and their storage. OMSA can help simplify single-server monitoring with a secure command-line interface (CLI) or web-based management graphical user interface (GUI). It can also be used to view system configuration, inventory, health and performance.
Agent-free management
Because Dell PowerEdge servers have embedded server lifecycle management, in many cases, there is no need to install an OpenManage systems management software agent into the operating system of a Dell PowerEdge server. This greatly simplifies and streamlines the management footprint.
