New employee named DELL

So, they waited, they waited and they waited: yesterday a new employee of the company arrived. Its name is Dell PowerEdge R710 .

Configuration of this beast:
* 2 Intel Xeon E5506 processor
* 16Gb 2RRDIM (1333 MGz)
* 6 HDD for 300Gb (SAS)

Under the cut a small photo report.

I came here such a box.

Open up ...


And inside one more. Open it and see:


Manuals, wires, plugs in the HDD compartments and the front panel. This is certainly interesting, but we go further.




We take out of the box.




Very useful thing: two hot-swappable power supplies.


We are making an orange lever and ...


That's the thing. In contrast to the usual gives only 12V.


870W :)


So, we continue the inspection. Remove the top cover.


Available what and how. Even without working with such equipment, you can figure out pretty quickly.


Holy of holies ...


Remove the cover that covers the processors and memory. Each connector has a 4Gb bracket. Free 14 more - a good start for improvement. :)


5 of these "cubes" pumped air from Hardy through the radiator. At full speed, howling like an airplane taking off ...


So in conclusion, all this decorative element - the front panel. Although it bears not only aesthetic functions - there is a lock. But the server will be in the closet, which has a more serious lock - so it is not very relevant.
