The Dell PowerEdge T610 server is a key data center building block for IT professionals seeking the highest level of performance, availability, and expandability in a 2-socket server.
Ideally suited for small and medium businesses and remote office customers, the T610 delivers enhanced virtualization, improved design, and energy efficiency in a server engineered to address both your current and future business needs.
Strong IT Foundation
A solid IT foundation is critical for business success. The Dell PowerEdge T610 contributes to your IT foundation by offering many of the virtualization, system management, and usability capabilities you need while providing impressive power and thermals for overall energy efficiency. This mainstream two socket Intel™ based tower server includes a rack-mount option and supports mission critical applications and data processing.
Purposeful Design
The T610 takes advantage of Dell’s system commonality. Once your IT managers learn one system, they understand how to manage next-generation Dell servers. Logical component layout and power supply placement also provide a straightforward installation and redeployment experience. Inspired by IT professionals, the T610 is built to simplify daily operations and maximize uptime.
In addition, Dell PowerEdge servers provide a graphical and interactive LCD for system health monitoring, alerting, and control of basic management configuration right in the front of the server. Customers have an AC power meter and ambient temperature thermometer built into the server that they can monitor on this display without any software tools.
Energy-Optimized Technology
Using the latest Energy Smart technologies, the T610 helps reduce power consumption while increasing performance capacity over previous generations of Dell towers. Enhancements include efficient power supply units right-sized for system requirements, effective system-level design efficiency, policy-driven power and thermal management, and highly efficient standards-based Energy Smart components. These features are designed to maximize energy usage across our latest core data center servers without compromising performance.
Advanced Virtualization
Featuring Intel Xeon processor 5500 and 5600 series, embedded hypervisors, 100% integrated I/O, and up to 100% more memory capacity than the previous server generations, the Dell PowerEdge T610 delivers better overall system performance and greater virtual machine-per-server capacity than ever before.
With optional factory-integrated virtualization capabilities, you get tailored solutions—built with the latest industry-standard technologies from Dell and our trusted partners—which allow you to streamline deployment and simplify virtual infrastructures. Choose your hypervisor from market leaders such as VMware, Citrix, and Microsoft, and enable virtualization with a few mouse clicks.
With the ability to install one or two Processors in this Dell PowerEdge T610 with no high-performance accelerators or adapter cards. The system only comes with one type of Heat Sink for the Intel CPUs.
The Fan system in the Dell T610 comes with 2 Large fans in the rear of the system providing the optimal air-flow across all the components.
The PowerEdge T610 utilizes DDR3 memory, providing a high-performance, high-speed memory interface capable of low latency response and high throughput. The T610 supports Registered ECC DDR3 DIMMs (RDIMM) or Unbuffered ECC DDR3 DIMMs (UDIMM).
The PowerEdge T610 has 12 DIMM slots for memory. The DDR3 memory interface consists of three channels with up to two RDIMMs or UDIMMs per channel for single- or dual-rank and up to two RDIMMs per channel for quad-rank. The interface uses 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, or 16GB RDIMMs. Also supported are 1GB or 2GB UDIMMs.
- Registered (RDIMM) and Unbuffered (UDIMM) DDR3 technology
- Support for up to 192 GB of RDIMM memory (twelve 16 GB RDIMMs)
- Support for up to 24 GB of UDIMM memory (twelve 2 GB UDIMMs)
- RDIMMs and UDIMMs cannot be mixed.
- Support for Advanced ECC mode
- Support for Memory Optimized mode
- Support for Memory Mirroring
- For all the rules please read the manuals below.
The PowerEdge T610 has five PCI Express expansion slots and one dedicated storage slot, which are detailed as follows:
- Two x8 PCIe Gen2 slots for full-height full-length cards connected to the IOH
- Three x4 PCIe Gen2 slots for full-height half-length cards connected to the IOH
- One x4 PCIe Gen1 slot for a dedicated storage controller card connected to the IOH
The system supports 25W maximum power for the first two PCIe cards and 15W for the third, fourth, and fifth PCIe cards. The lower-power support on the third, fourth, and fifth cards is due to system thermal limitations and not due to system power requirements.
The system does not support hot-plugging or hot-removal of PCI Express cards.
The PowerEdge T610 has an embedded dual-port Gigabit Ethernet controller with TCP Offload Engine (TOE) support. The embedded Broadcom® 5709C dual-port LAN controller is on the T610 planar as an independent Gigabit Ethernet interface device. The following information details the features of the LAN device:
- x4 PCI Express Gen2 capable interface (controller operated at Gen1 speed)
- Integrated MAC and PHY
- Wake-On-LAN (WOL)
- PXE 2.0 remote boot
- iSCSI boot
- Bare metal deployment support
