Dell PowerEdge Technical Guide
Detailed description
The R920 server uses the Intel Platform Controller Hub (PCH) chip.
Certain models of the Intel Xeon processor E7‐4800 v2 product family
support 1600MT/s memory. See the Memory section for details.
The Dell Select Network Adapter options allow you to customize your
LAN port combinations from your choice of controller vendors. See the
Networking and PCIe section for details.
Load reduced DIMM (LRDIMM) is designed with a buffer chip (or chips) to
replace the register to help minimize loading. LRDIMM is targeted to
increase overall server system memory capacity and speed using a
memory buffer chip or chips as opposed to a register. See the Memory
section for more details.
The R920 supports the new PERC9 controller cards with improved
functionality and faster performance. See the Storage section for details.
A high‐performance, solid‐state storage device that enables high IOPS
throughput, far surpassing that of conventional rotating hard drives. See
the Networking and PCIe section for details.
The new embedded system management solution for Dell PowerEdge
servers features hardware and firmware inventory and alerting, in‐depth
memory alerting, faster performance, a dedicated gigabit port and many
more features. See the Dell OpenManage systems management section
for details.
A new 1100W DC power supply option is available for the R920. See the
Power, thermal and acoustics section for details.
The R920 supports advanced power monitoring and power capping tools
that can help manage power consumption in a data center. See the
Power, thermal and acoustics section for details.
Dell has tested and validated an integrated data center solution that
enables you to operate at higher temperatures or even chiller‐less. See
the Power, thermal and acoustics section for details.
The internal dual SD module enables Dell's unique Failsafe Virtualization
architecture, ensuring uptime by providing failover capability for
embedded hypervisors, such as VMware
