1 Product Comparison
1.1 Overview
The Dell™ PowerEdge™ R410 is ideal for compute-intensive applications in space-constrained
environments. 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 Computing
Cluster) software stack, excellent diagnostics with an interactive LCD, and an optimum chassis depth
of 24‖ for space-constrained data centers and HPCC environments.
The Dell PowerEdge R410 was developed with a customer-inspired design, energy-optimized
technology, advanced virtualization capabilities, and simplified systems management.
1.2 Design for Usability
The PowerEdge R410 follows the 11th generation PowerEdge portfolio specifications and features the
same system design commonality and reliability true to the entire portfolio. All 11th generation
servers 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 installation
and deployment.
Robust, metal hard drive carriers and organized cabling are designed to help improve component
access and airflow across the server. The PowerEdge R410 provides reduced complexity, showcasing
clutter-free cable routing for more efficient airflow and easier maintenance. An LCD screen
positioned by the front of the bezel provides aisle-level access to deploy the server.
1.3 Energy Efficient
The PowerEdge R410 features energy-tuned technologies that reduce power consumption while
increasing performance capacity so you can compute more while consuming less. It incorporates
Energy Smart design using low-flow fans and logical component layout of the internal components
which aids with airflow direction and policy-driven power and thermal management, helping to keep
the server cool and reduce noise as much as possible. A robust fan cage design with hot-plug, singlepull 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 Manage
With the optional advanced embedded systems management capabilities of Lifecycle Controller, Dell
provides comprehensive enterprise class manageability already on the motherboard. Lifecycle
Controller is delivered as part of the optional iDRAC Express or iDRAC Enterprise in the PowerEdge
R410. The Lifecycle Controller helps to simplify administrator tasks by performing a comprehensive
set of provisioning functions such as system deployment, system updates, hardware configuration and
diagnostics from a single intuitive interface called Unified Server Configurator (USC) in a pre-OS
environment. This helps eliminate the need to use and maintain multiple pieces of disparate CD/DVD
media.

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. This console delivers a single view and a common data source into the entire
infrastructure management. It has an easily extensible, modular foundation that can provide basic
hardware management or more advanced functions, such as asset and security management. Dell
Management Console is designed to reduce or eliminate manual processes, enabling you to save time
and money for more strategic technology usage.

Indicator lights show the status of the PSU as follows:
Not lit — AC power is not connected.
Green — In standby mode, a green light indicates a valid AC source is connected to the power supply
and 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 (for example, a High-Output 500W power supply and a
400W power supply are installed in the same system). Capacity of the installed power supplies must
match.
