System overview

1
The PowerEdge T20 mini-tower server packs large internal storage capacity and capable
performance into a compact, quiet chassis that delivers efficient, worry-free operation. It is an ideal
first server for small offices and home offices (SOHO), and excels at storing and sharing,
collaboration and productivity, and data protection. With support for up to six internal hard drives,
the T20 enables users to simplify their office IT by consolidating business information, images and
videos onto a single server, where it can be more easily shared and protected. Powerful Intel
®
or Pentium multi-core processors drive applications and media faster, for quicker response times
and crisp video performance. The T20's numerous USB ports permit the easy and flexible
attachment of external devices, and its small form factor and deskside acoustics allow it to be
installed anywhere.
