1 System overview

The Dell™ PowerEdge™ C6105 is an ultra-dense 2U server that can support up to four independent
2-socket (2S) servers. Each independent server features single or dual AMD Opteron™ 4100 series,
4200 series and 4300 series 4-core, 6-core or 8-core processors, SR5670 chipset with SP5100 for
I/O connectivity, DDR3 memory, DIMM thermal sensors, PCI Express
embedded Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) controllers, and the integrated Intelligent Platform Management
Interface (IPMI) 2.0 baseboard management controller (BMC) with a dedicated RJ45 connection.

New technologies

The AMD Opteron 4100, 4200 and 4300 series microprocessors, part of the AMD Opteron 4000
series platform, are designed specifically for power-efficient and cost-optimized server applications.
These processors feature 4-core, 6-core, or 8-core processing to maximize performance-per-watt
at the best cost for data center infrastructures and highly dense deployments. The 2S server also
features an energy-efficient (EE) power band that delivers eight cores of performance at only 32W
TDP, as well as two 16-bit lanes of AMD HyperTransport™ 3.0 Technology links for peak bandwidth
of 25GB/second per link between processors and I/O.
With AMD Opteron 4000 processors, the PowerEdge C6105 server offers performance at a lower
power, scalability without compromise, and a platform upgrade path with the planned next-
generation processor. For more information, see the Processor section.
