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.

PowerEdge R410 Technical Guide

Dell 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.

4.1 Power Supplies
The R410 is powered by a non-redundant 480 W power supply (Dell P/N F238K) and redundant 500 W power supply (Dell P/N F649J). The power supply has automatic input voltage detection. An auxiliary power-out receptacle is not provided on this unit. The power supply in the chassis has been rated as 82%, efficient at 20%, and 100% load, and 85% efficient at 50% load under 115V AC input line. Redundant power efficiency is 88% at 20% load, 100% load, 92% efficiency at 50% load under 230V AC input line. The base system includes a single 480 W power supply. This unit provides power to the PowerEdge R410 planar, the four internal hard drive bays, and one slim optical disk drive bay. Power is softswitched allowing power cycling via a switch on the front of the system enclosure or via software control (through server management functions). The power system is compatible with industry standards, such as ACPI and Server 2000. The VRD is integrated onto the planar and is not field upgradeable. The VRD follows Intels VRD11.1 specification. The PowerEdge R410 uses a four-phase design.

4.2 Power Supply Specifications

Single 480 W power supply Redundant 500 W power supply There are two separate power supply connectors on the planar: an ATX connector (2x12) and a 2x4 connector to provide an additional two pins for +12V. (The ATX connector pin definition is not standard, and it defined by power rating calculation). The 2x12 ATX connector provides 3.3V, 5V, 12V, and 12V standby to the system. The 5V standby is provided to the system via a charge pump from 3.3V standby.

4.4 Maximum Input Amps

The power supply is equipped with automatic input voltage detection. Non-redundant power supply: 7.5 - 3.8 A at 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz Redundant power supply: 7 - 3.5 A at 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz

4.5 Acoustics
The PowerEdge R410 has balanced acoustic and thermal performance to support a fully-configured system and meets the Dell Acoustic specification AC0142 Rev. A02 category II-D requirement. The R410 has an aluminum-base passive heat sink with two embedded heat pipes for the processor cooling and four 40x56mm dual-rotor fans exhausting air through heat sink and out of the system. In SKU2 (RDN PSU SKU), there are two extra 40X56mm dual-rotor fans in the front of PDB for redundant power supply cooling. The 40x56mm dual-rotor fan has an external PWM speed control, and it is integrated into motherboard and power distribution unit (PDU). The thermal sensor on the front control board senses the ambient temperature and adjusts the fan speed accordingly. In a normal office environment, the fans spin slower, resulting in low acoustics. The fan RPM begins to ramp up with ambient, CPU, IOH, and DIMM temperatures changes and in different system configurations (e.g., different CPU and RAID card installation) to meet cooling requirements at higher ambient temperatures.

13 Rack Information
13.1 Overview
The ReadyRails sliding and static rail systems for the R410 provide toolless support for 4-post racks with square or unthreaded round mounting holes including all generations of Dell racks. Both support tooled mounting in 4-post threaded racks (an optional adapter brackets kit is required for the sliding rails), with the static rails also providing tooled mounting support for 2-post (Telco) racks for added versatility. The optional cable management arm (CMA) can be mounted on either the left or right side of the sliding rails without the use of tools for fast and easy deployment. NOTE: The R410 is not compatible with any other Dell rails including previous generation rails, but it does use the same sliding rails as the R310 and uses the same static rails as the R210 and R310.

13.2 Rails
The rail offerings for the R410 consist of two types: sliding and static. The sliding rails allow the system to be fully extended out of the rack for service and are available with or without the optional cable management arm (CMA).

Figure 25. R410 Sliding Rails with Optional CMA Sliding rail kits can be used in a threaded hole rack only if threaded rack adapter brackets are installed. The threaded rack adapter brackets are first mounted to the EIA flanges in the rack, and then the sliding rails are mounted into the brackets. The design of the brackets has been optimized to limit the forward shift of the system in the rack to only 17.3 mm. The adapter brackets kit includes 6 brackets to accommodate different rail lengths, plus 4 sets of custom screws in common thread sizes. A detailed Getting Started Guide is included in the kit along with directions for installing the brackets and mounting the rails into the brackets. PowerEdge R410 Technical Guide 43

Dell Depending on the depth of the rack used, it may be necessary to remove the servers bezel in order to close the door of the rack. A minimum of 58 mm will be needed between the back surface of the door panel and the front face of the EIA flange for the front door to close with the 11G server bezel installed.

Figure 26. 1U Threaded Rack Adapter Brackets Kit The static rails support a wider variety of racks than the sliding rails but do not support serviceability in the rack and are thus not compatible with the CMA.

Figure 27. R410 Static Rails One key factor in selecting the proper rails is identifying the type of rack in which they will be installed. Both the sliding rails and the static rails support mounting in 19-wide, EIA-310-E compliant 4-post racks, but only the static rails, as the more generic or universal solution, support mounting in 2-post (Telco) racks.

Screws are not included in the static rail kit due to the fact that threaded racks are offered with a variety of thread designations. Users must therefore provide their own screws when mounting the static rails in threaded or 2-post racks. Other key factors governing proper rail selection include the spacing between the front and rear mounting flanges of the rack, the type and location of any equipment mounted in the back of the rack such as power distribution units (PDUs), and the overall depth of the rack. Due to their reduced complexity and lack of need for CMA support, the static rails offer a greater adjustability range and an overall smaller footprint than the sliding rails. Table 15.

Note that the adjustment range of the rails is a function of the type of rack in which they are being mounted. The min-max values listed above represent the allowable distance between the front and rear mounting flanges in the rack. Rail depth represents the minimum depth of the rail as measured from the rack front mounting flanges when the rail rear bracket is positioned all the way forward.

13.3 Cable Management Arm (CMA)

The optional cable management arm (CMA) for the R410 organizes and secures the cords and cables exiting the back of the server and unfolds to allow the server to extend out of the rack without having to detach the cables. Some key features of the R410 CMA include: Large U-shaped baskets to support dense cable loads Open vent pattern for optimal airflow Fully reversible (can be mounted on either side) with no conversion required Utilizes hook-and-loop straps rather than plastic tie wraps to eliminate the risk of cable damage during cycling Includes a low profile fixed tray to both support and retain the CMA in its fully closed position 45

Dell Both the CMA and the tray mount without the use of tools via simple and intuitive snap-in designs

13.4 Rack View

The R410 sliding rails are a stab-in design, meaning that the inner (chassis) rail members must first be attached to the sides of the system prior to inserting them into the middle (intermediate) and outer (cabinet) rail members installed in the rack. The CMA can be mounted to either side of the rails without the use of tools or the need for conversion, but it is recommended that it be mounted on the side opposite the power supplies to allow easier access to the power supplies for service or replacement.

Figure 28. R410 Mounted in the A3 Sliding Rails with the CMA The R410 static rails are also a stab-in design, but unlike the sliding rails, they do not include middle (intermediate) rail members. After the inner (chassis) rail members have been attached to the sides of the chassis, they are inserted directly into the outer (cabinet) rail members installed in the rack.
