3 System Information

3.1 Overview

The PowerEdge M910 is an innovative blade design that allows scaling from 2 to 4 sockets (no single or 3 socket support) based on a new generation of Intel four-socket enhanced processors, RAM, and management while still taking advantage of the M1000e chassis architecture. Along with the M1000e chassis, the PowerEdge M910 server leads the industry in high speed, redundant IO throughput and power efficiency with more RAM slots in the 2-socket space.
