Chapter 3. Physical specifications
This section lists the physical specifications for the PC 300PL Types 6584 and 6594. The PC 300PL
Personal Computer desktop model has four expansion slots and four drive bays. The PC 300PL Personal
Computer tower model has six expansion slots and six drive bays.
Note: This computer is classified as a Class B digital device. However, this computer includes a built-in
network interface controller (NIC) and is considered a Class A digital device when the NIC is in
use. The Class A digital device rating and compliance notice are primarily because the inclusion
of certain Class A options or Class A NIC cables changes the overall rating of the computer to
Class A.
PC 300PL — desktop
Dimensions
Height: 134 mm (5.3 in.)
Width: 447 mm (17.6 in.)
Depth: 450 mm (17.7 in.)
Weight
Minimum configuration as shipped: 10.0 kg (22 lb)
Maximum configuration: 11.4 kg (25 lb)
Environment
Air temperature:
– System on: 10° to 35°C (50° to 95°F)
– System off: 10° to 43°C (50° to 110°F)
– Maximum altitude: 2134 m (7000 ft)
Note: The maximum altitude, 2133.6 m (7000 ft.), is
the maximum altitude at which the specified air
temperatures apply. At higher altitudes, the
maximum air temperatures are lower than those
specified.
Humidity:
– System on: 8% to 80%
– System off: 8% to 80%
Electrical input
Input voltage:
– Low range:
- Minimum: 90 V ac
- Maximum: 137 V ac
- Input frequency range: 57–63 Hz
- Voltage switch setting: 115 V ac
– High range:
- Minimum: 180 V ac
- Maximum: 265 V ac
- Input frequency range: 47–53 Hz
- Voltage switch setting: 230 V ac
– Input kilovolt-amperes (kVA) (approximate):
- Minimum configuration as shipped: 0.08 kVA
- Maximum configuration: 0.28 kVA
Note: Power consumption and heat output vary depending
on the number and type of optional features installed
and the power management optional features in use.
Heat output
Approximate heat output in British thermal units (Btu) per
hour:
– Minimum configuration: 245 Btu/hr (70 watts)
– Maximum configuration: 700 Btu/hr (204 watts)
Airflow
Approximately 0.56 cubic meter per minute (20 cubic feet
per minute) maximum
Acoustical noise-emission values
Average sound-pressure levels:
– At operator position:
- Idle: 37 dBA
- Operating: 43 dBA
– At bystander position–1 meter (3.3 ft):
- Idle: 32 dBA
- Operating: 36 dBA
Declared (upper limit) sound-power levels:
– Idle: 4.7 bels
– Operating: 5.1 bels
Note: These levels were measured in controlled acoustical
environments according to procedures specified by the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) S12.10 and
ISO 7779 and are reported in accordance with ISO 9296.
Actual sound-pressure levels in a given location might
exceed the average values stated because of room
reflections and other nearby noise sources. The declared
sound-power levels indicate an upper limit, below which a
large number of computers will operate.
