Fans | Dell T610 guide

Dell™ PowerEdge™ T610 Technical Guidebook

Rails

•Enable the replacement of thumbscrews with slam latches on the chassis for easier stowing in the rack.

•Include the new, simple, and intuitive ReadyRail™ tool-less rack interface for square-hole and round-hole racks.

•Provide significantly improved compatibility with non-Dell racks.

•Static rails for the R610 & R710 fit in all types of four-post and two-post racks available in the industry including four-post threaded hole racks.

CMAs

•Provide much larger vent pattern for improved airflow through the CMA.

•Include a common support tray for eliminating CMA sag.

•Replaced tie wraps with hook and loop straps to eliminate risk of cable damage during cycling.

•Maintain key feature of being fully reversible with no conversion required.

J. Fans

Two or four 92mm single-rotor fans are in a module that is installed in the cooling shroud – fan connectors blind mate into the planar when the cooling shroud is installed. Each fan has a single wire harness that plugs into the planar fan connectors (FAN1 through FAN4). In a non-redundant configuration, the two fans that need to be installed are the ones that are closest to the rear of the chassis.

The iDRAC6 controls and monitors the speed of the fans. A fan speed fault or over-temperature condition results in a notification by iDRAC6.

The PowerEdge T610 Power Supply Units have integrated fans. They are cooled by fans in the front section. The system requires a blank module in place of the empty power supply slot.

All system fans are PWM fans. Redundant cooling (optional) is supported with one fan failing at a time.

T610 specifications

The Dell PowerEdge T610 is a versatile tower server that caters to the needs of small to medium-sized businesses as well as remote offices. Designed to deliver a balance of performance, reliability, and expandability, the T610 is notable for its ease of use and management features.

Equipped with Intel’s Xeon processor, the T610 supports dual-socket configurations allowing users to install a pair of processors to boost computational power. This configuration can accommodate a wide range of Xeon CPUs, thus making it adaptable to various workloads. The system can support up to 192 GB of DDR3 memory in 18 DIMM slots, providing ample RAM for demanding applications and virtualization tasks.

The T610 offers several storage options inclusive of both hard disk drives (HDD) and solid-state drives (SSD). The server features up to eight 3.5-inch drive bays or up to twelve 2.5-inch bays, giving users flexibility in terms of capacity and performance. It supports RAID configurations, enabling data redundancy and improved performance, and provides several RAID controller options, ensuring data integrity.

One of the standout aspects of the T610 is its management capabilities, facilitated by the Dell OpenManage suite. This comprehensive management tool allows for easy monitoring, configuring, and updating of server hardware and firmware. The integrated iDRAC (Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller) enables remote management, which is essential for maintenance and troubleshooting, especially in environments where physical access may be limited.

With robust network features, the T610 is equipped with integrated Gigabit Ethernet ports. Additional network interface cards can be added for increased bandwidth and redundancy, ensuring uninterrupted network connectivity. The server is also designed with various expansion slots including PCIe, giving the flexibility to adapt to future needs by adding more functionality through expansion cards.

Furthermore, energy efficiency is a key consideration in the design of the T610. It features energy-efficient power supplies and components that help reduce overall operational costs while minimizing environmental impact.

The Dell PowerEdge T610 serves as an efficient and reliable solution for businesses looking for a balance of power, flexibility, and manageability in their server infrastructure. Whether for file sharing, application hosting, or virtualization, the T610 provides the essential features needed to support a growing business landscape.
