The Dell PowerEdge R610 offers simplified management, purposeful design, and energy efficiency combined in a rack server that can help you better manage your enterprise.
Strong IT FoundationThe Dell PowerEdge R610 is a key building block for today’s data center. Designed for versatility and high performance, it provides many of the virtualization, system management, and energy efficiency features you need now and the scalability necessary to change as your business grows. This general purpose Intel processor-based 2-socket 1U server is ideal for corporate data centers and remote sites that require a dense, highly available single- or dual-processor server at an excellent value.
The PowerEdge R610 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 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 R610 provides an interactive LCD screen or LED display positioned on the front of the server for ease of monitoring and troubleshooting condition of the server.
Featuring Intel Xeon processor-based architecture, embedded hypervisors, and expanded memory footprint and I/O, the Dell PowerEdge R610 delivers exceptional overall system performance and significant virtual machine-per-server capacity versus the previous generation. With optional factory-integrated virtualization capabilities, you get tailored solutions—built with the latest 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.
Dell’s servers offer world class system and image commonality and customer inspired usability. The Dell™ PowerEdge™ R610 takes advantage of Dell’s system commonality; When IT managers learn one system, they have learned the logic required to manage Dell’s next generation servers. The logical layout of components and power supply placement enables a simple and straight forward installation and a simplified redeployment experience in the future.
In addition, Dell’s latest 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 which they can monitor on this display without any software tools.
The PowerEdge R610 has embedded Gigabit Ethernet Controllers with TCP Offload Engine (TOE) support. Two embedded Broadcom® 5709C dual-port LAN controllers are on the R610 planar as independent Gigabit Ethernet interface devices. The following information details the features of the LAN devices:
The R610 has two PCI Express risers. The two PCIe risers provide two PCI Express expansion slots, which are detailed as follows:
To ensure proper cooling, only one of the two expansion cards can have a power consumption of greater than 15W (up to 25W maximum), not including the integrated storage controller.
The system does not support hot-plug or hot-removal of PCI Express cards.
The PowerEdge R610 has a single six-drive backplane that supports 2.5” drives. There are six hotswap capable Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) or Serial ATA (SATA) slots with two LED indicators per slot, two Mini-SAS cable connectors for connecting the backplane to the integrated storage controller, and a 14-pin power connector. Mixing SAS and SATA drives is supported.
