H. Rails and Cable Management

Rack installation components such as rails are provided with the PowerEdge R610 Rack Kit. The rack installation components are as follows: sliding rack mount with latest generation Cable Management Arm (CMA). The PowerEdge R610 will feature slam latches to offer easier removal from the rack. When the system is installed in a rack, please observe the following guideline:

When the system is installed in a rack, only Dell-approved CMAs should be installed behind the chassis.

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.

R610 specifications

The Dell PowerEdge R610 is a 1U rack server that combines outstanding performance with advanced management features, making it ideal for enterprises and small to medium-sized businesses. Introduced as part of Dell’s 11th generation of servers, the R610 is designed to meet demanding workloads while optimizing energy consumption.

One of the main features of the R610 is its dual-socket capability, supporting up to two Intel Xeon 5500 or 5600 series processors. This allows significant scaling of compute power, enabling users to run multiple applications concurrently without a hitch. The server supports up to 192 GB of DDR3 memory with 18 DIMM slots, providing ample bandwidth for memory-intensive workloads.

Storage flexibility is another hallmark of the R610. It offers a choice of up to six 2.5-inch SAS, SATA, or solid-state drives, which allows for impressive storage capacities and the option for RAID configurations. This ensures data integrity and high availability, catering to the needs of various applications from databases to virtual environments.

The Dell R610 introduces advanced virtualization technologies, with support for VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V, making it an excellent choice for virtualized environments. With the option to deploy multiple virtual machines on a single physical server, organizations can maximize resource allocation and reduce costs.

In terms of management, the R610 is equipped with the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) which provides out-of-band management capabilities. This feature allows administrators to monitor system health, perform firmware updates, and manage hardware without the need for physical access to the server.

Energy efficiency is a notable characteristic of the R610, complying with Energy Star requirements. It utilizes lower power consumption components and features such as dynamic power management, which adjusts the power usage based on real-time workload demand. This characteristic contributes to lower operational costs and a reduced environmental footprint.

The Dell PowerEdge R610 excels in providing an optimal balance of performance, manageability, and energy efficiency, making it a powerful tool for IT environments that demand reliability and scalability. Its robust feature set and support for virtualization technologies position it as a favorable choice for businesses looking to enhance their IT infrastructure efficiently.
