Dell PowerEdge T150 is a tower server appropriate for quiet office environments. The acoustical output is usually not noticeable in a typical office environment. Acoustical experience data are provided in terms of three configurations: Entry, Typical, and Feature Rich. Configuration details are provided in Table 3, and acoustical experience data associated with each configuration of PowerEdge T150 are provided in Table 4.
Although the T150 is generally very quiet, some users may have needs to deploy it in an even quieter setting. In this case, please reference Tips for acoustically sensitive environments.

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 on a 75cm-height standard table. 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.
