The Dell PowerEdge T710 provides outstanding performance, availability and value in a 2S tower server for enterprise, remote workgroups, and growing businesses.
The Dell PowerEdge T710 features include the performance of Intel Xeon processor 5500 and 5600 series, the availability of up to 16 hard drive discs, DDR3 memory, excellent I/O capacity, and available redundant power.
The PowerEdge T710 was developed with a purposeful design—energy-optimized technology, advanced virtualization capabilities and simplified systems management.
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.
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.
Customer-Inspired Design
The Dell PowerEdge T710 offers customer-inspired usability with excellent system and image commonality. The PowerEdge T710 features a clean, logical layout of components and power supply placement for quick installation and simplified deployment.
An interactive LCD provides system health monitoring, alerts and control of basic management configuration from the front of the server. A built-in AC power meter and ambient temperature thermometer can be monitored from the LCD without software tools.
With up to 16 hard drives and up to 144GB of memory, the Dell PowerEdge T710 is ideal for large capacity computing. A customer inspired design provides excellent system commonality along with a clean, logical layout of components and power supply placement for quick installation and simplified deployment.
The Dell PowerEdge T710 offers an interactive LCD for system health monitoring, alerts and control of basic management configuration from the front of the server. A built-in AC power meter and ambient temperature thermometer can be monitored from the LCD without software tools.
Virtualization Ready
Designed for virtualization, the Dell PowerEdge T710 featuring Intel Xeon processors, embedded hypervisors and expanded memory and I/O (input/output).
Dell next-generation PowerEdge T710 server offers enhanced system performance and more virtual machine per server capacity than previous generations.
Dell also provides a smart path to virtualization — a path grounded in choice and defined by industry standards. Customers can choose their hypervisor from developers such as VMware or Microsoft, enabling virtualization with a few clicks of a mouse.
The Dell PowerEdge T710 comes with 1 Processor and 18 DIMMs. That is a lot of DIMMs to keep cool and it does this by supplying 4 rear fans. These 4 Rear fans are accompanied by an Air Shroud that drives the airflow most efficiently through the server. These 4 Hot-Swappable fans are placed in the rear of the server in a fan cage. There are no other options for fans or heat sinks.
The Dell™ PowerEdge™ T710 uses DDR3 memory providing a high-performance, high-speed memory interface capable of low latency response and high throughput. T710 supports Registered ECC DDR3 DIMMs (RDIMM) or Unbuffered ECC DDR3 DIMMs (UDIMM).
- 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)
- High RAS features only with RDIMMs
- View all the rules in the manuals below
Memory options
- Support for Closed Loop Thermal Management on RDIMMs and UDIMMs
- Support for Advanced ECC mode
- Support for Memory Optimized mode
- Support for Memory Mirroring
- Support for Memory Sparing with 5600 series processors
The advantages of using RDIMMs include:
- Higher RAS capabilities
- Best for memory intensive applications
- More scalable
- Higher capacity
UDIMM
Key attributes of UDIMMS:
- UDIMMs are generally cheaper
- Use less power, saving about 1 Watt per DIMM
- Maximum size of 2 GB
- Limited to 2 DPC (only an issue in 18 slot systems)
- No support for address parity
The Dell™ PowerEdge™ T710 system board has two embedded dual-port Broadcom® 5709C Gigabit Ethernet controllers as independent Ethernet interface devices. This provides four LOM ports for the server. Both controllers enabled for TCP Offload Engine (TOE), with optional iSCSI offload engine (iSOE).
- x4 PCI Express Gen2 capable interface (controllers operated at Gen1 speed)
- 64 KB receive buffer
- TOE (TCP Offload Engine)
- iSCSI controller (enabled through an optional hardware key)
- RDMA controller (RNIC) (enabled through an optional hardware key)
- Wake-On-LAN (WOL)
- iSCSI boot
T710 supports a choice of internal hard drive controllers. The internal controller is placed in the dedicated storage slot on the motherboard.
The integrated SAS 6/iR HBA is a half-length expansion card that plugs into a dedicated PCIe x8 storage slot (only wired for x4). It incorporates two four-channel SAS IOCs for connection to SAS/SATA hard disk drives. It is designed in a form factor that will allow the same card to be used in the R710, R610 and T710 platforms. SAS 6/iR is only supported when the 3.5‖ x8 backplane is present.
PERC H700
The PERC H700 card has its own processor with a PCI Express Gen2 host interface and DDR2 memory and installs into the dedicated internal storage slot. A battery is also available for backup. It supports the internal 6 Gb/s backplane interface for internal storage options (SAS, SATA, or SSD HDD). The PowerEdge T610 supports both 512MB and 1GB cache options on the internal H700.
The H200 SAS HBA is an expansion card that incorporates two four-channel 6 Gb/s SAS IOCs for connection to SAS hard disk drives.
PERC 6/i
The PERC 6/i is a half-length PCIe x8 expansion card that uses the LSI 1078 ROC (RAID on Chip) processor with a PCI Express host interface and 256MB cache. A battery is also available for backup.
The base redundant T710 system consists of two hot-plug 1100W power supplies in a 1 1 configuration.
The power supplies connect directly to the planar. There is a power cable to connect between the planar and the backplane. The T710 power supplies have embedded cooling fans.
