Dell™ PowerEdge™ T610 Technical Guidebook

For the slots that are not occupied by drives, a carrier blank is provided to maintain proper cooling, maintain a uniform appearance to the unit, and provide EMI shielding.

The PowerEdge T610 does not support diskless configuration.

Each disk drive carrier has two LED indicators visible from the front of the system. One is a green LED for disk activity and the other is a bicolor (green/amber) LED for status information. The activity LED is driven by the disk drive during normal operation. The bicolor LED is controlled by the SEP device on the backplane. Both LEDs are used to indicate certain conditions under direction of a storage controller.

The PowerEdge T610 system supports up to eight 2.5" or 3.5" hard disk drives.

Support for 10,000 and 15,000 rpm 2.5" SAS drives

Support for 15,000 rpm 3.5" SAS drives

Support for 7200 rpm 3.5" Near Line SAS drives

Support for 7200 rpm 2.5" Enterprise SATA drives

Support for 7200 rpm 3.5" Enterprise SATA drives

Support for 2.5" Solid State Drives (SSD)

SSDs require the PERC 6/i Integrated storage controller and cannot be mixed with any other type of hard drive

Up to eight SAS OR up to eight SATA drives are supported

For SAS/SATA mixing, two SAS and up to six SATA drives are possible

A pair of SAS drives must be installed in slots 0 and 1

One mixed 2.5" and 3.5" hard drive configuration is allowed:

A pair of 2.5" 10k rpm SAS drives must be installed with an adapter in a 3.5" hard drive carrier in drive slots 0 and 1

The remaining hard drives must be 3.5" hard drives and must be either all SAS or all SATA
