Installing The Cooling Shroud

CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.

NOTE: For proper seating of the cooling shroud in the chassis, ensure that the cables inside the system are routed along the chassis wall and secured using the cable securing bracket.

1.Align the tabs on the cooling shroud with the securing slots on the chassis.

2.Lower the cooling shroud into the chassis until it is firmly seated.

3.If applicable, replace the full-length PCIe card.

4.Close the system.

5.Reconnect the system to its electrical outlet and turn the system on, including any attached peripherals.

System memory

Your system supports DDR3 unbuffered ECC DIMMs (ECC UDIMMs), registered DIMMs (RDIMMs), and load reduced DIMMs (LRDIMMs). It supports DDR3 and DDR3L voltage specifications.

NOTE: MT/s indicates DIMM speed in MegaTransfers per second.

Memory bus operating frequency can be 1866 MT/s, 1600 MT/s, 1333 MT/s, 1066 MT/s, or 800 MT/s depending on:

•DIMM type (UDIMM, RDIMM, or LRDIMM)

NOTE: PowerEdge R720xd with 3.5 inch hard-drive configuration does not support LRDIMMs due to thermal limitations.

•DIMM configuration (number of ranks)

•maximum frequency of the DIMMs

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.
