Dell PowerEdge R650-XS is a rack-mount server appropriate for attended data center environment.
Acoustical performance is provided in terms of three configurations: Entry, Typical-1 (with rear storage), and Typical-2 (HPC). Configuration details are provided in Table 19, and acoustical performance data associated with each configuration of PowerEdge R6515 is provided in Table 20.
Although the R650-XS is designed for use in data centers, some users may prefer to use it in a quieter setting. Tips for acoustically sensitive environments can be helpful for such a situation.
Finally, please also the following specific cases that result in increase in acoustical output.

LwA,m: The declared mean A-weighted sound power level (LwA) is calculated per section 5.2 of ISO 9296 with data collected using the methods described in ISO 7779 (2010). Engineering data presented here may not be fully compliant with ISO 7779 declaration requirements.
LpA,m: The declared mean A-weighted emission sound pressure level is at the bystander position per section 5.3 of ISO 9296 and measured using methods described in ISO 7779. The system is placed in a 24U rack enclosure, 25cm above a reflective floor. Engineering data presented here may not be fully compliant with ISO 7779 declaration requirements.
Prominent discrete tones: Criteria of Annex D of ECMA-74 & Prominence Ratio method of ECMA-418 are followed to determine if discrete tones are prominent and to report them, if so.
Idle mode: Idle mode is the steady-state condition in which the server is energized but not operating any intended function.
Operating mode: Operating mode is represented by the maximum of the steady state acoustical output at 50% of CPU TDP or active storage drives for the respective sections of Annex C of ECMA-74.
