Dell™ PowerEdge™ T610 Technical Guidebook

Rails

Enable the replacement of thumbscrews with slam latches on the chassis for easier stowing in the rack.

Include the new, simple, and intuitive ReadyRail™ tool-less rack interface for square-hole and round-hole racks.

Provide significantly improved compatibility with non-Dell racks.

Static rails for the R610 & R710 fit in all types of four-post and two-post racks available in the industry including four-post threaded hole racks.

CMAs

Provide much larger vent pattern for improved airflow through the CMA.

Include a common support tray for eliminating CMA sag.

Replaced tie wraps with hook and loop straps to eliminate risk of cable damage during cycling.

Maintain key feature of being fully reversible with no conversion required.

J. Fans

Two or four 92mm single-rotor fans are in a module that is installed in the cooling shroud – fan connectors blind mate into the planar when the cooling shroud is installed. Each fan has a single wire harness that plugs into the planar fan connectors (FAN1 through FAN4). In a non-redundant configuration, the two fans that need to be installed are the ones that are closest to the rear of the chassis.

The iDRAC6 controls and monitors the speed of the fans. A fan speed fault or over-temperature condition results in a notification by iDRAC6.

The PowerEdge T610 Power Supply Units have integrated fans. They are cooled by fans in the front section. The system requires a blank module in place of the empty power supply slot.

All system fans are PWM fans. Redundant cooling (optional) is supported with one fan failing at a time.
