1.1 Product Description

Dell’s robust and reliable, 1-socket PowerEdge™ T310 tower server offers the performance of Intel® processors, DDR3 memory, advanced systems management options and the availability of up to four hard drives (3.5” or 2.5”) in a compact tower chassis.

The Dell PowerEdge T310 server delivers enterprise-level performance, redundancy, and comprehensive right-sized manageability options in a 1-socket tower that is simple to own, deploy, and manage.

The Dell PowerEdge T310 was designed to meet the needs of the growing small business or remote office by offering more features and performance than a basic, entry-level server. Customizable with optional advanced systems management capabilities including remote management, a short 20.5 inch chassis, redundancy features and cost-effective RAID options, the T310 is the ideal robust and reliable 1-socket tower server.

Dell aims to add value to your business by providing the features you need. Our goal is to deliver value through tailored solutions based on industry standards, as well as purposeful, innovative design.

The PowerEdge T310, part of the 11th Generation PowerEdge server portfolio, is built with system design commonality and reliability. All 11th Generation servers are built with user ease in mind. All external ports, power supplies, LED lights, and LCD screens are kept in the same location for familiar user experience and easy installation and deployment.

Robust, metal hard drive carriers and organized cabling are designed to improve component access and airflow across the server. The PowerEdge T310’s purposeful design provides quiet acoustics and an optional interactive LCD screen positioned on the front by the bezel for ease of monitoring. With a chassis depth of 20.5”, the PowerEdge T310’s chassis is ideal for use in a back office, retail, or small office settings where small chassis and quiet acoustics matter.

Energy Smart technologies are at the core system level on the PowerEdge T310. These energy- optimized technologies are designed to increase energy efficiency within the server while continuing to deliver the performance your business requires. Built with lower wattage power supplies than its predecessor, the PowerEdge T310 offers highly efficient cabled or redundant power supply options. Also included in the T310 are low-flow fans, designed to spin faster in accordance with server workload demands and help reduce unnecessary noise when possible. In addition, the logical component layout aids with air flow direction, helping to keep the server cool. The T310 also includes Energy Smart power management features including power capping, power inventory, and power budgeting to best manage power in your specific environment.

The Lifecycle Controller is the engine for advanced embedded management and is delivered as part of the optional iDRAC Express or iDRAC Enterprise in the PowerEdge T310. The Lifecycle Controller helps to deliver faster server deployment and update capabilities from a bare-metal, pre-operating system environment. With a single access point via the Unified Server Configurator (USC) interface, the USC tool provides a one stop shop to enable efficient operating system deployment with built-in driver installations, firmware updates, hardware configuration, and diagnostics for the system. Servers selected with hot pluggable hard drives will also get the benefit of an interactive LCD which can be accessed remotely via optional iDRAC Express or iDRAC Enterprise for system alerts and power usage as well as select boot-up options.

Also part of Dell’s OpenManage™ portfolio is the Dell Management Console, included with every Dell server, which provides IT administrators with a consolidated view of their IT infrastructure.
