Power Indicator

Condition

Pattern

 

Not lit

Power is not connected.

Green

The handle/LED indicator lights green indicating that a valid power source is connected to the

 

power supply and that the power supply is operational.

Flashing amber

Indicates a problem with the power supply.

 

CAUTION: When correcting a power supply mismatch, replace only the power supply

 

with the flashing indicator. Swapping the opposite power supply to make a matched pair

 

can result in an error condition and unexpected system shutdown. To change from a High

 

Output configuration to a Low Output configuration or vice versa, you must power down

 

the system.

 

CAUTION: AC power supplies support both 220 V and 110 V input voltages with the

 

exception of Titanium power supplies, which support only 220 V. When two identical

 

power supplies receive different input voltages, they can output different wattages, and

 

trigger a mismatch.

 

CAUTION: If two power supplies are used, they must be of the same type and have the

 

same maximum output power.

 

CAUTION: Combining AC and DC power supplies is not supported and triggers a

 

mismatch.

Flashing green

When hot-adding a power supply, this indicates that the power supply is mismatched with the

 

other power supply (in terms of efficiency, feature set, health status, and supported voltage).

 

Replace the power supply that has the flashing indicator with a power supply that matches the

 

capacity of the other installed power supply.

R720XD, R720 specifications

The Dell PowerEdge R720 and R720xd are powerful rack servers designed to deliver exceptional performance, reliability, and scalability for a wide range of data center applications. As part of Dell's 12th generation of PowerEdge servers, they come equipped with advanced features and technologies that cater to diverse workloads.

Both models are built on the Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 family, supporting dual-socket configurations. This allows for an impressive maximum memory capacity of up to 768 GB with 32 DIMM slots, enabling efficient handling of memory-intensive applications. The R720 and R720xd are designed with efficiency in mind, allowing organizations to optimize their resource utilization while maintaining high performance.

One of the most noteworthy features of the R720 and R720xd is the flexible storage options. The R720 can accommodate up to 16 2.5-inch drives, while the R720xd extends this capacity to 24 2.5-inch drives or 12 3.5-inch drives, greatly enhancing storage scalability. This flexibility is essential for businesses with growing data needs, allowing them to configure the server according to their specific requirements.

Both servers come with the iDRAC7 (Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller), which provides advanced management capabilities. iDRAC7 enables IT administrators to remotely monitor and control the server, simplifying the management of hardware functions and system updates. The optional Lifecycle Controller further streamlines server deployment and management, offering integrated systems management capabilities.

In terms of networking, the R720 and R720xd support a variety of network interface cards, including 1 GbE and 10 GbE options. This ensures that organizations can select the right networking capabilities for their specific workload and performance requirements.

Power efficiency is another significant characteristic of these servers. Equipped with Dell’s Energy Smart technologies, they can reduce power consumption and operating costs. Features like power capping and efficient fan control help achieve optimal thermal management in the data center.

In summary, the Dell PowerEdge R720 and R720xd are robust and versatile servers that offer exceptional performance for mission-critical applications. With their advanced processor support, memory capacity, flexible storage configurations, and comprehensive management features, they are well-suited for organizations looking to enhance their IT infrastructure.
