Dell POWEREDGE R710 Specifications

DELL POWEREDGE
R710 SERVER
The Dell™ PowerEdge™ R710 is designed to be
the cornerstone of today's competitive enterprise.
Engineered in response to input from IT professionals,
it is the next-generation 2U rack server created to
efficiently address a wide range of key business
applications. The successor to the PowerEdge 2950
III, the R710 runs the Intel® Xeon® 5500 and 5600
Series Processors and helps you lower the total cost of
ownership with enhanced virtualization capabilities,
improved energy efficiency, and innovative system management tools.

STRONG IT FOUNDATION

As an IT professional, you want a data center built to allow for organic growth and the ability to scale
based on your company's changing requirements. You need complete solutions that allow you to
focus your time and money on managing and growing your business. Dell understands your needs and
responds with an expanding portfolio of enterprise servers, storage technologies, and services with a
single goal: to help you simplify IT.

PURPOSEFUL DESIGN

The R710 takes advantage of Dell's system commonality. Once your IT managers learn one system, they
understand how to manage next-generation Dell servers. Logical component layout and power supply
placement also provide a straightforward installation and redeployment experience.
Featuring 18 DIMM slots and 4 integrated network connections, the R710 delivers the critical
components to virtualization and database performance. The Intel Xeon processor series 5500 and
5600 adapt to your software in real time, processing more tasks simultaneously. Using Intel® Turbo
Boost Technology, the R710 can increase performance during peak usage periods. You can then help
reduce operating costs and energy usage with Intel® Intelligent Power Technology, which proactively
puts your server into lower power states when demand decreases. Increased memory slots also save
money by enabling you to use smaller, less-expensive DIMMs to meet your computing needs.
In addition, Dell's latest PowerEdge servers provide a graphical and interactive LCD for system health
monitoring, alerting and control of basic management configuration right in the front of the server.
Customers have an AC power meter and ambient temperature thermometer built into the server which
they can monitor on this display without any software tools.

ENHANCED VIRTUALIZATION

Featuring Intel Xeon-based architecture, embedded hypervisors, large memory capacity, and integrated
I/O, the next-generation Dell PowerEdge R710 delivers better overall system performance and greater
virtual machine-perserver capacity. With optional factory-integrated virtualization capabilities, you get
tailored solutions—built with the latest technologies from Dell and our trusted partners—which allow
you to streamline deployment and simplify virtual infrastructures. Choose your hypervisor from market
leaders such as VMware®, Citrix®, and Microsoft®, and enable virtualization with a few mouse clicks.

ENERGY-OPTIMIZED TECHNOLOGIES

Using the latest Energy Smart technologies, the R710 reduces power consumption while increasing
performance capacity versus the previous generation servers. Enhancements include efficient power
supply units right-sized for system requirements, improved system-level design efficiency, policy-driven
power and thermal management, and highly efficient standards-based Energy Smart components.
Dell's advanced thermal control delivers optimal performance at minimal system and fan power
consumption resulting in our quietest 2U servers to date. These enhancements maximize energy
efficiency across our latest core data center servers without compromising enterprise performance.
