The new Dell PowerEdge XR5610 is a powerful short-depth 1U server that is purpose-built for the edge. XR5610 is the upgraded successor to the popular XR11 and features generational enhancements that are designed to deliver high-performance compute and ruggedized deployment capability in a 463mm chassis. Well suited for 5G vRAN and ORAN telecom workloads, as well as military and defense deployments and retail AI including video monitoring, IoT device aggregation and PoS analytics


Security is integrated into every phase of the PowerEdge lifecycle, including protected supply chain and factory-to-site integrity assurance. Silicon-based root of trust anchors end-to-end boot resilience while Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and role-based access controls ensure trusted operations.
Heat Sink
The PowerEdge XR5610 system operates in a few different environmental categories: ASHRAE A2/A3/A4 and Edge1 (50°C) and Edge2 (55°C). The heat sink will change based on which environment setup is followed. There are two types of heat sinks. The standard and the extended heat sink. You will only need the extended heat sink with Edge1 and Edge2 Ambient Air guides. You can read more about these Environmental Specifications in the manuals below.
Cold Swap Fans
The Dell XR5610 supports up to six cold swap fans, no matter the direction of airflow.
There are 2 fans right behind the drive backplane along with 3 fans on one side and 1 fan on the other. Supporting the fans are the two air shrouds. One for the PCIe slots and one for the CPU / DIMMS. If a part is not supplied a blank must take its spot to keep the ambient airflow as efficient as possible.
The system holds 8 x DDR5 RDIMM at speeds up to 4800 MT/s or with 1 DIMM per channel (DPC) 4400 MT/s. Mixing of any different memory module capacities in a system is not supported. Supported RDIMM configurations are 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 DIMMs.
| DIMM type | Rank | Capacity | DIMM rated voltage and speed | Operating Speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 DIMM per channel (DPC) | ||||
| RDIMM | 1 R | 16 GB | DDR5 (1.1 V), 4800 MT/s | 4400 MT/s |
| 2 R | 32 GB, 64 GB | DDR5 (1.1 V), 4800 MT/s | 4400 MT/s | |
| 4 R | 128 GB | DDR5 (1.1 V), 4800 MT/s | 4400 MT/s |
Dell XR5610 Rack Server has a PCIe Riser 3A (R3A) and a OCP (FLOP) Riser. The PCIe Riser 3A has up to 2 x PCIe Gen5 (two x16 PCIe Gen5). The OCP 3.0 PCIe 4 x16 Riser is the only way to install an OCP card that provides networking for the server without taking up a vital PCIe slot.

| Config No. | Riser configuration | No. of Processors | PERC type supported | Rear storage possible |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | NO RSR | 1 | N/A | No |
| 1 | IO1A+R3A | 1 | PERC adapter | No |
| 2 | IO1A (OCP Riser) | 1 | N/A | No |
| 3 | R3A | 1 | PERC adapter | No |
| NOTE: PERC H965i adapter can only be installed in slot 1 of the riser 3A. Slot 2 must be empty. | ||||
| NOTE: SmartNIC and PERC H965e or H355e cannot be installed simultaneously. Any storage card with an external port can only be supported in riser 3A slot 1. | ||||
The PowerEdge XR5610 system supports 4 port embedded LOM that provide 10/25 GbE SFP28. You can also install the OCP 3.0 Mezz PCIe 4.0 x16 card (optional). This OCP has a dedicated PCIe slot for the special OCP Flop riser. The OCP card can support up to 4 ports at speeds of 25GbE
NOTE: SmartNIC and PERC H965e or H355e cannot be installed simultaneously. Any storage card with an external port can only be supported in riser 3A slot 1.

| Feature | Specifications |
|---|---|
| LOM | 10 GbE, 25 GbE |
| RJ45 for iDRAC | 1 GbE |
| OCP card (3.0) | 1 GbE, 10 GbE, 25 GbE |
| The system allows either NIC card or OCP card or both to be installed in the system. | |
| Shared management of iDRAC is capable through the embedded LOM and OCP ports. | |
The Dell XR5610 Rack Server supports PERC11 and PERC12 storage controllers. The Internal Controllers: PERC H965i, PERC H755, PERC H355, HBA355i can be installed in the R3A Riser. The system also supports the Boot Device BOSS-N1 Riser with 2x M.2 NVMe SSDs. This boot device frees up one of the 1 drives from being the dedicated boot drive.
NOTE: PERC H965i adapter can only be installed in slot 1 of riser 3A. Slot 2 must be empty.
| Performance Level | Controller and Description |
|---|---|
| Entry | S160 |
| Value | H355, HBA355 (internal/external) |
| Value Performance | H755 |
| Premium Performance | H965i |

The R3A riser supports up to 2 x 75 W/150 W (SW/FH/HL). This is what makes the sever ideal for video monitoring or Military workloads. Make sure to install the riser for GPU support.
Please read the ambient temperature tables in the manual below. GPUs are not supported in every setting and have some limitations.
A PCIe Cardholder will be installed when the Rugged Kit is selected on the CTO. This will ensure the card stays in place and is connected securely.

This powerful 1U server supports up to 2 hot swap 60MM PSUs. The PowerEdge XR5610 has two types of Power Supply Units (PSUs). The PSUs with black straps are designed for Rear Accessed configuration while the PSUs with blue straps are designed for Front Accessed configuration
