6 PowerEdge M620 Technical Guide1 System overviewIntroductionDesigned for your taxing workloads, such as email, database and virtual environments, the Dell™PowerEdge™ M620 blade server is an ideal blend of density, performance, efficiency and scalability.The M620 delivers unprecedented memory density and superb performance with no compromiseon enterprise-class features.Accomplish moreBring impressive new capabilities to your data center with the PowerEdge M620, which offers amemory capacity of up to 768GB of RAM along with scalable I/O capabilities. Powered by Intel®Xeon® E5-2600 or E5-2600v2 processors and Dell’s unique Select Network Adapter, our flexible NICtechnology, the M620 provides the performance you require and allows you to allocate yournetwork throughput to match your application needs.Designed for your hyper-dense environmentsDell’s exclusive failsafe virtualization technology provides redundant media for hypervisor failover tokeep your critical virtual environments running. Your virtualization environments demand highmemory capacity in order to maximize the number of virtual machines per server, and thePowerEdge M620 was designed with this in mind. If you are running high-performance computing(HPC) application clusters, the M620 provides you with outstanding computational density andpowerful processing capability in a compact form factor.Simplified systems management, without compromise The Dell OpenManage™ systemsmanagement portfolio includes Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 7 (iDRAC7) with LifecycleController. This embedded feature helps IT administrators manage Dell servers in physical, virtual,local and remote environments, operating in-band or out-of-band, with or without a systemsmanagement software agent installed. OpenManage iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller integrates andconnects to leading third-party systems management solutions (such as those from Microsoft,VMware, and BMC Software), so users can maintain a single point of control and capitalize on anexisting systems management investment. OpenManage simplifies the lifecycle of deploying,updating, monitoring and maintaining Dell PowerEdge servers.The PowerEdge M-series blade server lineImplement the right combination of features and performance scalability with the PowerEdgeM-series blade servers, which can handle tough workloads in a data center of any size. In addition tothe world-class management features provided in all PowerEdge servers, the M620 also takesadvantage of the capabilities of the Dell PowerEdge M1000e’s chassis management controller(CMC). The CMC allows M-series blades to be managed individually or as groups, in single ormultiple chassis, and within a data center or in multiple geographically dispersed locations aroundthe globe without requiring an agent or additional hardware. PowerEdge M-series blade servers usethe redundant power, cooling, and networking infrastructure provided by the M1000e bladeenclosure, which is exceptionally easy to deploy and manage and maximizes power and coolingefficiency.
