1 Product Description
1.1 Overview
The Dell™ PowerEdge™ R310 is a high-performance, 1-socket 1U rack server with flexible computing power, business scalability, simplified management, data protection, and security options.
Dell PowerEdge 11th generation servers are designed to meet customer needs by combining customer­inspired design with excellent reliability, security, and commonality. The PowerEdge R310 embodies the Dell 11G design principles with the same system design commonality, reliability, energy efficiency and simplified systems management features true to the entire portfolio. The result is a compact, efficient server that helps customers of all sizes lower IT-related costs, reduce complexity, and free up resources.
The Dell PowerEdge R310 provides the flexible computing power, business scalability, simplified management, data protection, and security options to make it an ideal choice for small to midsize businesses, remote offices, and enterprises.
The Dell PowerEdge R310 offers:
Business Value: The performance, security options, and availability scale to meet a variety of
business needs.
Simplified Management: With optional Dell Lifecycle Controller and optional full OpenManage™ suite
designed for improved diagnostics and reduced operational costs.
Flexible Technology: Energy-efficient, compact server for ease of deployment.
1.1.1 Business Value
The PowerEdge R310 rack server offers the right balance of performance, enterprise-class options, and business value to meet the needs of small to midsized businesses, branch offices and enterprises alike with:
Price for performance that includes options for full redundancy in power supplies and hot-swap hard
drives.
Processor options and memory configurations that are balanced to run typical business applications
such as Microsoft® Windows® Small Business Server, Business Center Essentials, SQL Server® Workgroup/Standard, Active Directory®, and SharePoint® as well as Oracle® 11g Standard, VMware®, and file/print.
Multiple RAID options and up to four 2.5 or 3.5 inch hard drives to help keep your data safe.
1.1.2 Easy to Manage
The PowerEdge R310 lets you devote more focus to running your business. The optional advanced embedded management engine, Lifecycle Controller, automates common management tasks and enables zero-media, low-touch deployment that is efficient, secure, and user-friendly.
Dell Lifecycle Controller simplifies administrator tasks by performing a complete set of provisioning functions such as system deployment, system updates, hardware configuration and diagnostics from a single intuitive interface called Unified Server Configurator in a pre-OS environment. This eliminates the need to use and maintain multiple pieces of disparate CD/DVD media. With Dell Lifecycle Controller server deployment automation, the R310 can be up and running fast.
Also part of the Dell OpenManage portfolio is the Dell Management Console, which is included with every Dell server and provides IT administrators with a consolidated console view of their IT infrastructure.
1.1.3 Easy to Set Up
The PowerEdge R310 features a compact chassis that allows flexibility for rack-oriented deployments. The optional advanced systems management capabilities of Dell Lifecycle Controller along with an interactive Dell PowerEdge R310 Technical Guide 7

4.6 Power Supply Indicators
The PSUs on the R310 have one status bi-color LED: green LED indicates that AC power is present to the system when the system is in standby mode. When the system is on, it also indicates that DC power has been applied to the system for AC power present and amber for a fault.
Dell PowerEdge R310 Technical Guide 17
Figure 4. Back Panel View
Dell
Figure 5. For Non-Redundant PSU
Figure 6. For Redundant PSU
Not lit—AC power is not connected.
Green—In standby mode, a green light indicates that a valid AC source is connected to the power supply
and that the power supply is operational. When the system is on, a green light also indicates that the power supply is providing DC power to the system.
Amber—Indicates a problem with the power supply.
Alternating green and amber—When hot-adding a power supply, this indicates that the power supply is mismatched with the other power supply (a high output power supply and an Energy Smart power supply are installed in the same system). Replace the power supply that has the flashing indicator with a power supply that matches the capacity of the other installed power supply.
For additional information regarding the power supply indicators, please refer to the Hardware Owner’s Manual.

4.11 Fans
There are up to five fans in the chassis when a redundant PSU is configured with the system or three if configured with non-redundant PSU. Refer to the figures below for further detail.
Figure 12. Non-Redundant PSU Fan Configuration (3 Fans)
Dell PowerEdge R310 Technical Guide 22
Dell
Figure 13. Redundant PSU Fan Configuration (5 Fans)
Additional details regarding the fans for the R310 include:
The Embedded Server Management logic in the system will control and monitor the speed of the fans. A
fan failure or over-temperature in the system will result in a notification from iDRAC6.
The R310 power supply units do not have any integrated fans; they are cooled by the system fan in front
of them. The system requires a PSU blank (metal cover) in place of the empty power supply slot.
System fan speed is pulse-width modulated. Fans are non-redundant and not hot-swappable.
4.12 Cabling
All cables are clearly marked with Dell part numbers.

4.13 Control Panel LED & LCD
The R310 comes with an LED Configuration and an optional LCD.

4.14 LED Status Description
For a complete description of indicators, causes and possible courses of action to take to resolve errors, please refer to Diagnostic Lights section in the Hardware Owner’s Manual.
4.15 R310 LCD (Optional) Configuration
The hot-swap HDD configuration comes with LCD panel diagnostics.
The system control panel is located on the front of the system chassis to provide user access to buttons, display, and I/O interfaces. Features of the system control panel include:
Dell PowerEdge R310 Technical Guide 24
Figure 15. System Control Panel
Dell
ACPI-compliant power button with an integrated green power LED (controlled by iDRAC6) 128x20 pixel LCD panel with controls
o Two navigation buttons o One select button o One system ID button
Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI) button (recessed) Ambient temperature sensor Two external USB 2.0 connectors (with an internal USB connector and Internal SD Module) 15-pin VGA connector
The LCD panel is a graphics display controlled by iDRAC6. Error codes can be sent to the display by either iDRAC6 or BIOS.
The system's LCD panel provides system information and status messages to signify when the system is operating correctly or when the system needs attention.
The LCD backlight is blue during normal operating conditions and changes to amber to indicate an error condition. When the system is in standby mode, the LCD backlight is off and can be turned on by pressing the Select button on the LCD panel. The LCD backlight will remain off if the "No Message" option is selected through the iDRAC6, the LCD panel, or other tools.
BIOS has the ability to enter a ―Secure Mode‖ through Setup, which locks the Power and NMI buttons. When in this mode, the Power button can still be used to turn on the system, but it cannot be used to turn off power to the system.
