G. Energy SMART Enablement

The 11th generation of PowerEdge servers implements aspects of Dell’s new Energy Smart strategy. Major differences include:

Discontinuing Energy Smart-branded servers with limited configurations and instead offering

Energy Smart components on a portfolio level, such as high capacity and Energy Smart power supplies

Allowing customers to order either a lowest power footprint configuration or a best performance-per-watt configuration

Offering Energy Smart selected components such as DIMMs or hard drives, but not “cherry picking" or screening individual manufacturers’ components based on energy consumption.
