Dell PowerEdge M620 Technical Manual page 7

Compared to the previous generation of Dell PowerEdge blade servers, the M620 has more memory,
processor cores, and networking options than ever before. Features include DDR3 memory, PCI
Express 3.0, a network daughter card (NDC), dual internal SD module, and Dell's
next-generation iDRAC solution known as iDRAC7 Enterprise with Lifecycle Controller.
The PowerEdge M620 is a replacement for the predecessor M610 and M710HD systems, three
systems that are compared in Table 2. For the latest information on supported features, visit
