DellPowerEdge R410 Technical Guide 71 Product Comparison1.1 OverviewThe Dell™ PowerEdge™ R410 is ideal for compute-intensive applications in space-constrainedenvironments. It is a powerful, ultra-dense 2-socket 1U server that offers the performance of Intel®Xeon® processor 5500 and 5600 series, DDR3 memory, and the availability of up to four hard drives(3.5‖ or 2.5‖), and is an exceptional value.The PowerEdge R410 features include an available ―open‖ HPCC (High Performance ComputingCluster) software stack, excellent diagnostics with an interactive LCD, and an optimum chassis depthof 24‖ for space-constrained data centers and HPCC environments.The Dell PowerEdge R410 was developed with a customer-inspired design, energy-optimizedtechnology, advanced virtualization capabilities, and simplified systems management.1.2 Design for UsabilityThe PowerEdge R410 follows the 11th generation PowerEdge portfolio specifications and features thesame system design commonality and reliability true to the entire portfolio. All 11th generationservers are designed to make the user experience easier. We put all external ports, power supplies,LCD screens, and LED lights in the same location for familiar experience as well as easy installationand deployment.Robust, metal hard drive carriers and organized cabling are designed to help improve componentaccess and airflow across the server. The PowerEdge R410 provides reduced complexity, showcasingclutter-free cable routing for more efficient airflow and easier maintenance. An LCD screenpositioned by the front of the bezel provides aisle-level access to deploy the server.1.3 Energy EfficientThe PowerEdge R410 features energy-tuned technologies that reduce power consumption whileincreasing performance capacity so you can compute more while consuming less. It incorporatesEnergy Smart design using low-flow fans and logical component layout of the internal componentswhich aids with airflow direction and policy-driven power and thermal management, helping to keepthe server cool and reduce noise as much as possible. A robust fan cage design with hot-plug, single-pull fan modules provides efficient airflow and eases maintenance. Energy efficient and compact,the PowerEdge R410 is designed with value and reliability for HPCC environments.1.4 Easy to ManageWith the optional advanced embedded systems management capabilities of Lifecycle Controller, Dellprovides comprehensive enterprise class manageability already on the motherboard. LifecycleController is delivered as part of the optional iDRAC Express or iDRAC Enterprise in the PowerEdgeR410. The Lifecycle Controller helps to simplify administrator tasks by performing a comprehensiveset of provisioning functions such as system deployment, system updates, hardware configuration anddiagnostics from a single intuitive interface called Unified Server Configurator (USC) in a pre-OSenvironment. This helps eliminate the need to use and maintain multiple pieces of disparate CD/DVDmedia.
