1.1 Overview
The Dell™ PowerEdge™ T710 provides outstanding performance, availability, and value in a 2S tower
server for large enterprises and organizations, remote workgroups, and growing businesses.
The T710 features the extensive performance range of Intel
®
Xeon
®
processors, DDR3 memory,
excellent I/O bandwidth, internal storage expandability of up to 16 hard drives, and optional
redundant power supplies.
The T710 was developed with a purposeful design—high, balanced performance; extensive
expandability for growth; energy-optimized technologies, advanced virtualization capabilities, and
simplified systems management.
1.1.1 Purposeful Design
The PowerEdge T710 takes advantage of Dell‘s outstanding system commonality and reliability.
Consistent component layout and purposeful placement of interface ports and power supplies enable
easy installation and redeployment. The PowerEdge T710 purposeful design provides a standard LCD
screen positioned by the front of the bezel for ease of monitoring.
Robust, metal hard drive carriers and organized cabling are designed to improve component access
and airflow across the server. Designed for easy rack installation, the PowerEdge T710 offers an all-
steel cable management arm to help eliminate creep.
1.1.2 Energy-Optimized Technology
Energy efficiency is designed at the system level on the PowerEdge T710 to help reduce power
consumption while increasing performance capacity. Improvements include enhanced power supply
units, an efficient fan design, and policy-driven power management.
Energy Smart 90%+ efficient power supply units are provided on the PowerEdge T710. A robust fan
cage design with a single pull fan module helps improve airflow and enable fast, easy maintenance.
Power Management features include power capping, power inventory, and power budgeting to best
manage power in your specific environment.
1.1.3 Advanced Virtualization
Featuring IntelXeon processors 5500 series, embedded hypervisors, and expanded memory and I/O,
Dell servers offer better overall system performance and virtual machine-per-server capacity than
ever before.
Dell provides a smart path to virtualization that is grounded in choice and defined by industry
standards. Choose your hypervisor from market leaders such as VMware and Microsoft, enabling
virtualization with a few mouse clicks.
1.1.4 Simplified Systems Management
The next-generation of Dell OpenManage™ suite of management tools is designed to provide efficient
operations and standards-based commands designed to integrate with existing systems for effective
control.
Dell Management Console (DMC) helps simplify operations and create stability by shrinking
infrastructure management to one console. This console delivers a single view and a common data
