Overview

Dell PowerEdge Servers



Because of the distinct needs of smaller organizations and large corporations or institutions, we have

segmented the PowerEdge server line. By doing so, we will be even more effective at delivering quality products

that are relevant to the needs of our diverse customer set.

PowerEdge Server Line

Larger organizations or those requiring more complex server configurations will find the PowerEdge server

line is the best fit for their needs. Building on the long tradition of successful PowerEdge servers, Dell will

continue to design high performance and high availability features and services into tower and rack dense

systems that are reasonably priced.

PowerEdge SC Server Line

The PowerEdge SC Value Tower line focuses on technologies, price points and services that are needed

by typical small businesses and low-complexity computing environments. These servers are designed to be

more affordable and less complex than the traditional PowerEdge line.

Dell Enterprise SystemsSection 1The Dell™ PowerEdge™ Server Family is comprised

of a multitude of general-purpose and solution

specific servers ranging from the low complexity,

very affordable PowerEdge 500SC to the high-end

PowerEdge 8450. Whether you are a small business

that needs shared Internet access and basic

file/print, or you are a Fortune 500 company running

complex ERP applications, we are confident that we

can find a PowerEdge server that fits just right.

Clusters CertifiedConfiguration for Dell

Combining high performance

and high availability clustering,

the Oracle9i™ Real Application

Clusters (RAC) Certified

Configuration for Dell with the

Dell™ PowerEdge™ 6450 server

delivers state-of-the-art database

technology for demanding,

business-critical environments.

Dell Certified ConfigurationsOracle9i Certified Configurations for Dell are an optimal and cost-effective way to purchase and implement anOracle database application. Through a winning collaboration, Dell and Oracle have combined their expertise to offer a flexible, open architecture database solution that is easy-to-deploy, configure and manage in both single node or high performance and high availability cluster configurations. Furthermore, Oracle9i CertifiedConfigurations for Dell deliver products and services designed to make the Oracle database virtually unbreakable,thus providing you with confidence in a challenging IT environment.

Clustered Availability and PerformanceThe Oracle9i Real Application Clusters (RAC) Certified Configuration for Dell is ideal for back-end enterprisedeployments requiring high availability and exceptional performance. Allowing clusters of up to four PowerEdge6450 servers, the configuration features as many as four Intel® Pentium® III Xeon™ processors per server with 4GB1

of ECC SDRAM along with the Dell/EMC FC4700 storage system for Storage Area Network (SAN) implementations.Providing up to 4.35TB of database storage in RAID 10, the clustered configuration is also highly scalable to meetthe demanding needs of your organization.

With Oracle9i Real Application Clusters Technology, all servers in the cluster are able to process data in an optimalway, using load balancing and parallel execution.

PowerEdge 4600



delivers an ideal combination of

performance, affordable availability

and exceptional expandability in a

highly serviceable chassis.

PerformanceDesigned from the ground up to bring a new level of functionality into the mainstream server industry, thePowerEdge 2500 is the ideal solution for corporate workgroups, branch offices, pre-production environments andsmall-medium businesses. The PowerEdge 2500 addresses the needs of organizations by incorporating the latestchipset technologies, high availability features and an easy-to-service chassis. This general purpose server alsosupports up to two Intel® Pentium® III processors with a 133MHz front side bus and includes seven I/O slots toprovide room for additional functionality and future expansion.

One of the key features of the PowerEdge 2500 is the ServerWorks® High-End SuperLite (HE-SL) chipset thatsupports tri-peer PCI architecture. This enables the server to support three separate bus segments, giving you theflexibility to segment your high performance PCI cards on two high-speed 64-bit/66MHz busses and lowerperformance PCI cards on slower busses for enhanced performance. This architecture also reduces the risk forsystem latency associated with bus saturation.

With two-way memory interleaving capabilities, the HE-SL chipset can support twice the peak memory bandwidthof the previous generation of Serverworks LE-based servers. The PowerEdge 2500 supports set combining, achipset feature that sees four same-sized DIMMs as one unit to reduce latency penalties. By incorporating sixDIMM slots, the server ensures two slots are still available for future memory additions even when you takeadvantage of set combining.

AvailabilityThe embedded PERC3/Di RAID controller option on the PowerEdge 2500 provides exceptional availability andmakes this system one of the more competitive values in the industry. This embedded high-performance Ultra3(U160) SCSI solution includes dual RAID channels to help ensure that at least one channel is available at all times.It also supports write-back caching with a battery backup to protect the cache memory’s content in the event of apower outage.

The PowerEdge 2500 helps to ensure maximum uptime through availability features such as Error Correction Codememory and redundant AC power. Additionally, the hot-plug hard drives and hot-plug and redundant fans allowyou to replace components quickly without shutting down the system. The server also includes clusteringcapabilities for high fault tolerance.

Easy to ServiceTool-less components and the chassis design enable easy serviceability, whether accessing the server in a rack oras a stand-alone tower. Because tools are not needed to remove the side-panel cover, access to systemcomponents is quick and easy. The hard drives and hot-plug power are front loading and equally easy to accessby simply opening the hinged front bezel.

The PowerEdge 2500 interior also incorporates tool-less installation and serviceablity. Flip lock retainers secureI/O cards to the PCI expansion slots, while drives and other media snap easily in place. All peripheral devices,power supplies, fans, hard drives and memory do not require tools.

More Storage OptionsIn addition to offering up to 584GB of internal hard disk storage, the PowerEdge 2500 also gives organizations achoice in configuring their storage capabilities. You have the option of Dell’s flexible and affordable PowerVaultexternal SCSI storage or external fibre channel storage. The fibre channel storage system gives you maximumstorage capacity into the terabyte range along with many data-protecting features.

PerformanceThe Dell PowerEdge 4600 offers new, cutting-edge technologies providing exceptional levels of performance formemory-intensive, high bandwidth applications including network infrastructure, collaborative data backup andrecovery, research, security and streaming media. With up to two Intel® Xeon™ processors, it delivers core speedsas fast as 2.2GHz with a 400MHz front side bus.

Furthermore, the PowerEdge 4600 is the first Dell platform to utilize the ServerWorks® Grand Champion High End (GC-HE) chipset that raises the bar for high speed memory access and performance. The PowerEdge 4600implementation of the chipset provides an incredible 3.2GB/s of memory bandwidth and up to 3.4GB/s of throughputon a five-bus-segment architecture. The chipset also accommodates up to twelve registered DDR (double data rate)DIMMs with capacities up to 1GB and four-way interleaved memory architecture for a performance advantage particularly important in high-end graphic applications environments.

The PowerEdge 4600 also incorporates PCI eXtended (PCI-X) technology, the next generation local I/O standardthat provides high bandwidth and dedicated hardware interfaces between internal chips and peripheral cards thatcan result in an overall reduction of system latency time.

High Availability and Data ProtectionDesigned to meet the needs of customers who require high levels of availability and data protection, thePowerEdge 4600 offers the latest in high availability features. A key differentiator of the PowerEdge 4600 is theembedded PERC3/Di RAID controller, a high-performance Ultra3 (160MB/s) SCSI RAID solution that provides dualRAID channels and supports write-back caching with a battery backup to protect the cache memory’s content inthe event of a power outage. It also features redundant cooling and redundant power supply options in additionto hot-plug hard drives and hot-plug PCI-X slots for optimum uptime.

The GC-HE chipset contributes several key high availability features to the PowerEdge 4600. In addition to ECC(Error Correcting Code) memory, the chipset supports ServerWorks Enterprise Chipkill™ technology that helps preservecustomer data and maintain system availability above what ECC can provide. The spare memory bank is an optionalfeature that allows customers to designate one memory bank, or four DIMMs, as a spare and the remaining twobanks, or eight DIMMs, as actual system memory. When a pre-defined ECC error threshold is reached, the sparememory bank copies the data from the faulty bank while the system is running. This maintains server availabilityand memory reliability without service intervention. The DIMM(s) in the faulty bank that exceeded the error thresholdcan be replaced at the customer's convenience during a scheduled shutdown.

Scalability, Manageability and ServiceabilityThe PowerEdge 4600 provides both enhanced scalability for internal storage, memory and network bandwidth aswell as enhanced flexibility to configure and manage data.* As a result, customers have an easy-to-use system thatcan grow readily with their needs. With 10 hard drives, the server delivers up to 730GB of internal storage capacity,and the PowerEdge 4600’s seven PCI slots offer room for additional functionality and expansion.

The PowerEdge 4600 offers Dell OpenManage™ with a streamlined, wizard-driven installation for simple managementfrom the very beginning. Built-in remote management includes full in-service or out-of-service access to the system,and the completely redesigned 6U chassis is built for data centers, remote offices and networked environments.* Versus its predecessor, the PowerEdge 4400.

Exceptional Performance. Easy as

Dell PowerEdge 500SC Server

Designed to help growing businesses

connect and manage data, the

Dell™ PowerEdge™ 500SC server

delivers power and performance

at prices that fit almost any budget.

Affordable Price, Exceptional Value

A True Server at Desktop Prices

By running server software on desktop PCs, many small and mid-sized businesses miss out on the many benefits

of owning a true server. With a server optimized for networked environments, such as the Dell PowerEdge 500SC,

you get better system performance compared to running server operating systems on a desktop PC, making it the

best practice for growing businesses. Because this server is designed to run server applications and is priced

in-line with desktop systems, you simply cannot go wrong with the Dell PowerEdge 500SC.

Low Price, High Quality

Embedded features, like video and a high-performance Intel® PRO/100+ Network Interface Card (NIC), allow Dell

to offer the PowerEdge 500SC for prices comparable to desktop systems. Additionally, this system has been fully

tested for reliability and has successfully completed the rigorous quality tests required of all Dell servers.

Flexible Performance

To provide affordable performance, the PowerEdge 500SC has a dual ATA-100 Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE)

controller that delivers speeds up to 100MB/s. While the speed is comparable to a SCSI system, ATA-100 costs

less so you save more. For processing power, you may choose either an Intel Pentium® III processor for larger tasks

or an Intel Celeron™ processor for smaller workloads. For optimal performance, the PowerEdge 500SC now features

a SCSI option. This add-in PCI card delivers Ultra3 (UI60) SCSI reliability to the highly affordable PowerEdge 500SC.

PowerVault 128TTape Library

Using two leading industry-standard

technologies, the Dell™ PowerVault™

128T Tape Library provides growing

enterprise environments with a fully

automated backup solution that delivers

outstanding performance, robust

reliability and investment protection.

High Performance Automated Backups

To help organizations meet increasing data growth demands with limited IT budgets and shrinking backup windows,

Dell offers the PowerVault 128T tape library. The PowerVault 128T is available with either Linear Tape Open™ (LTO)

technology or Super DLT (SDLT), allowing you to choose the technology best suited for your environment.

LTO is an open technology that offers high performance backup, with a maximum capacity of 4TB and a maximum

backup rate of 216GB/hr within the PowerVault 128T. SDLT, the latest DLT technology, offers backward read

compatibility with previous DLT formats and a maximum capacity of 4.4TB and backup rate of up to 160GB/hr.

Investment Protection

The configuration flexibility of the PowerVault 128T provides incredible investment protection and enables the

tape library to grow with your needs. The PowerVault 128T can be deployed with a single tape drive, either with

LTO or SDLT technologies, for autoloader-type backup applications. It can be configured as a 1X20 autoloader for

workgroups or small departments, and as your backup needs expand, a second tape drive can simply be added to

increase backup throughput and meet more demanding backup requirements.

The PowerVault 128T also gives you the option of moving from an automated LAN-based backup solution to

a SAN-based system with the addition of a 1Gb/s fibre channel router. And with a library mean time between

failures of 100,000 hours, the PowerVault 128T helps protect your equipment investments by providing

outstanding reliability.

Plus, the PowerVault 128T is available in a rack-optimized 5U chassis or as a deskside model so it fits easily

within virtually any environment and is flexible enough to meet your space requirements.

Simplified Manageability

The PowerVault 128T is designed with ease-of-use in mind. Through a remote management card, the PowerVault

128T tape library can be accessed and monitored via a Web browser. It enables you to remotely perform a variety

of tasks such as diagnostics, updating library drives and library controller firmware, retrieving error codes, and

performing pick and place functions. Also, library, drive and mailbox activity can be managed locally with an easy-to-use

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panel.

In addition, a mailbox allows you to import and export tape cartridges while backup jobs are in progress. As

a result, the need to re-inventory all tape cartridges in the library is minimized and backup jobs run more efficiently.

The PowerVault 128T tape library offers enterprise environments with explosive data requirements high performance,

scalable capacity, easy manageability and the flexibility to protect investments.

Furthermore, the tape library is available in a rack-mountable or a stand-alone model to meet a wide variety of needs.And the 14U form factor can include an embedded 2Gb/s fibre channel router for high performance SAN backups.

Simplified ManageabilityThe PowerVault 136T Tape Library allows you to easily manage the backup process from anywhere. With theembedded remote management card, you can access and monitor the library with a Web browser. This cardenables you to perform remote diagnostics, update library drives and library controller firmware, retrieve ServiceAction Code (SAC) errors, and perform pick and place functions.

of organizations looking for cost-effective direct attach fibre channel solutions. The PowerVault 660F offers a complete,

highly available, all-in-one fibre channel RAID solution while its expansion enclosure, the PowerVault 224F, provides

additional storage.

The two storage arrays can be combined in a variety of configurations to meet your organization’s storage requirements.

You can build as you grow by adding up to seven PowerVault 224F units behind a single PowerVault 660F subsystem.

And because the PowerVault 224F is the PowerVault 660F disk enclosure without RAID controllers, you can simply

upgrade by adding RAID modules. Ideal for protecting your investment, these enclosures deliver the same

high performance and exceptional manageability as the PowerVault 660F.

Additionally, the PowerVault 660F/224F provides exceptional performance for the price, delivering data transfer

speeds of 165MB/s and 15,000 I/Os per second. Coupled with the Dell direct business model and world-renowned

customer service, the PowerVault 660F/224F represents outstanding value in fibre channel storage.

Rack-Dense Scalability

Offering scalability in an incredibly rack dense form factor, the PowerVault 660F/224F enables you to quickly

respond to the demand for increased capacity. With 14 fibre channel drives, it can store more than a terabyte of data

in a 3U enclosure, and it can store more than 8TB in approximately five square feet of front panel space.

The modular architecture of the PowerVault 660F/224F allows you to cost-efficiently add storage as you need it.

You can start with a minimally configured storage array with one drive and build onto it as your needs change.

In addition, with the Dell Fibre Disk RAID Controller (DFDRC) featured on the PowerVault 660F, you can scale

performance by adding controllers or scale capacity by adding up to 112 disks behind one unit. You can also scale

both simultaneously by adding storage expansion units with single or dual active RAID controllers.

Availability

The PowerVault 660F/224F disk array is designed with reliability in mind making it ideal for applications that requires

maximum uptime. Both the PowerVault 660F and the PowerVault 224F can be ordered with redundant, hot-plug

power supplies and cooling modules to help increase availability.

Furthermore, by deploying the PowerVault 660F/224F in a cluster configuration, you can potentially reduce downtime.

And one of the inherent benefits of a fibre channel solution is it supports several fault-tolerant features such as

combined dual-looping and dual-ported drives that help implement complete I/O redundancy with no single point

of failure.

The PowerVault 660F/224F fibre channel array packs exceptional performance, value, and availability into a rack-dense

format with configuration flexibility.

System Management



Systems Management 101

Systems management is the installation, configuration, monitoring and maintenance of a computer system.

Three key elements comprise a managed system: the hardware, the operating system, and the application programs.

The distinction between these elements is essential to understanding current systems management

products. Hardware vendors typically focus on providing hardware management application programs (for

example, Dell OpenManage™ IT Assistant, Compaq® Insight Manager, HP® TopTools, and IBM® Netfinity

Manager), and operating system vendors generally provide management utilities for their operating systems.

Finally, application program vendors often supply little more than installation and deinstallation utilities,

even though application programs—especially client/server-based applications—tend to be the least stable

of the three elements.

There are two results of these differing points of focus. First, there is a fragmentation in how information

technology (IT) departments are able to manage the systems they deploy. Because of budget and technical

restrictions, they may focus on critical business application programs, at the expense of other elements such

as hardware. Second, an entire industry of systems management vendors is providing more cohesive

solutions to keep systems up and running. Examples are the systems management frameworks and tools of

Tivoli, Computer Associates, Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft, ON Technology, NetIQ, BMC, and Veritas.

Systems Management by Dell

Dell recognizes the trade-offs that customers are currently forced to make in managing their systems and the

importance of the leading management frameworks and tools. As a result, Dell has developed a systems

management strategy that focuses on industry standards and integration into leading management

environments. The two primary pieces of Systems Management at Dell are Dell OpenManage and the Dell

Remote Assistant Card.

Dell Enterprise SystemsSection 3Why manage your systems? Dell believes the answer is

simple, more value. At Dell, we find that organizations

realize more value from IT investments when they have:

• Effective use of limited human resources, such as

managing many systems, even remote systems,

from one place

• Management of system problems proactively,

before they become fatal - keeping vital systems

available and productive

• Ultimate performance from your investment by

keeping system BIOS, drivers, configurations, and

operating systems up-to-date

• New systems contributing to the infrastructure and

to your bottom line as quickly as possible and with

less interruption



Streamlined Wizard-Driven Install

A bootable, stand-alone CD provides the tools required for setting up and configuring new Dell PowerEdge

system components and software, facilitating the Dell OpenManage server installation. The CD ships with

every PowerEdge server at no additional charge and can also be ordered via the Dell OpenManage

Subscription Service. Key services include:

Set-Up and Configuration: All the necessary tools for setting up and configuring Dell PowerEdge

systems and software; the latest available drivers, optimized for use on Dell PowerEdge servers; automated

detection and installation of RAID and NIC drivers.

Streamlines Operating System Installation: Can significantly reduce the time required for

operating system installation for Windows NT® 4, Windows® 2000, NetWare® 4.x and 5.x, and Red Hat®

Linux® 6.2 and 7.0.

Utilities, Drivers and Diagnostics - A system tools utility to view and create Dell software diskettes on

any Windows 9x, NT, or 2000 client. Delivers Dell optimized and tested drivers, diagnostics and utilities.

Flexible and Intuitive Discovery, Event Filtering and Proactive Alerts

Dell OpenManage is a comprehensive standards-based solution for managing systems distributed throughout

the enterprise. It monitors and manages Dell systems, using a browser-based user interface, providing system

discovery, event logging and alerting. Why use standards? Standards provide the infrastructure for

communicating between and among your systems. Dell OpenManage is built on standards that provide a full

and complete discovery of systems in the environment with:

• Desktop management interface (DMI) agents

• Common information model (CIM) agents

• Simple network management protocol (SNMP) agents.

OpenManage also provides complete event management including logging and filtering events based on

user defined criteria, and actions based on filtered events. The proactive event notification includes

alphanumeric paging and e-mail, and the ability to launch applications based on events.

Dell OpenManage™ is engineered, tested and

proven to help you install, manage and

integrate diverse systems from diverse vendors

with relative ease. All of which can help you

become less reactive to the dynamics of

today’s fast-paced, ultra-competitive business

environment and more proactive in efficiently

managing your ever-evolving array of IT assets.

When you invest in world-class PowerEdge™

servers from Dell, enhance the value of your

investment – manage the power with

Dell OpenManage.

Dell OpenManage



Centralized Inventory and Asset Information

Using the OpenManage™ tree structure to navigate to any system on the network, you can instantly access

a summary of system-level information, including processor family and version, memory size and configuration,

BIOS information, asset and service tags, operating system information, and NIC types and addresses. Most

of the system summary information is read automatically from the hardware instrumentation.

System asset information is also available and includes data such as purchase cost, date of installation, PO

number, cost center, extended warranty information, departmental data, depreciation data and more.

The ability to compile inventory data for a server or a group on the network, into a report for printing or

filing, can be extremely useful. OpenManage features an inventory report function that enables you to

choose the asset(s) for the server or group of interest and print, or export the report to a file for use in

another application.

Complete Array Management

In addition to monitoring and managing Dell systems, OpenManage includes integrated storage management:

• Auto-detection of storage components

• Event capture and logging from all storage components

• Propagation of storage status up through server status icons

Dell OpenManage array management enables you to configure and manage local and remote storage

devices attached to a server while the server is online and continuing to process requests. It obtains data

from the storage devices and the logical volumes contained on those devices. The array management tool

displays storage configuration in both a physical and logical view. The physical view shows the physical

connections between the storage devices. The logical view shows a logical representation of your storage.

The array management tool provides a single console for array and volume configuration, from which you

can do the following:

• Create and configure virtual disks (RAID arrays)

• Manage RAID and non-RAID devices

• Create partitions and volumes

• Format disks and create file systems

• Assign drive letters

Today's storage management tools used for configuring and managing storage subsystems can require the

user to have a great deal of knowledge about RAID technology. To lighten this requirement, OpenManage

contains RAID Policies that provide a storage configuration method that is application-based. RAID policies

automate your storage configuration based on which application is being installed.



The DRAC provides ultimate remote server management capabilities through a new browser interface. You

can use the DRAC to manage and monitor PowerEdge servers through a modem, direct serial connection or

dedicated NIC. The DRAC is designed to manage all states of the server, including when the server is

operational and when the server is down.

When the server is operational, the user can access remote servers via DRAC by redirecting

the graphics screen as well as sending the keyboard and mouse input to the remote server.

This way the user gets full control over the remote server and can perform the same administrative tasks on

the server that it could do locally.

When the server is dead, the DRAC offers a remote server recovery solution through dedicated

hardware and software. The DRAC addresses dead server situations, allowing the user from a remote

location to diagnose and restart the server.

DRAC benefits when the server is operational:

• Manage servers in multiple locations from a remote console

• Manage servers by redirecting the console output to a remote console

• Perform an orderly shutdown of the server to do maintenance tasks

• Setup the server remotely and run configuration utilities

• Obtain system information remotely, including system name, model, status, BIOS, service tag, etc.

• Remain operational after a power failure by using the onboard battery backup

DRAC benefits when the server is down:

• Diagnose a server failure and restart the server

• Reset and cycle the server power from a remote location

• Access the server's internal logs to check the possible cause of a failure

• Alert the administrator when the server detects an error

Using both a Dell Remote Assistant Card (DRAC) and

Dell OpenManage™, you can manage and monitor a

PowerEdge™ server through a modem, direct serial

connection or dedicated NIC. This combination, a

DRAC and Dell OpenManage, is designed to manage

all states of the server, whether operational or down.

Dell Remote Assistant Card



DRAC Features

PowerEdge RAID Controllers



PERC3/Si (Single Channel, Integrated)

Integrated into the motherboard of the PowerEdge 2450, the PERC3/Si is a single channel 32-bit ROMB (raid

on motherboard) controller. It is a low-cost integrated solution for controlling external SCSI disks and is easily

enabled with a device called a RAID key. It supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5 and 10, has a standard ECC cache

DIMM socket populated standard with 64MB of RAM, and uses the same high-power processor as the rest

of the PERC3 family. It is only available as a part of the PowerEdge 2450.

PERC3/Di (Dual Channel, Integrated)

Another ROMB solution, the PERC3/Di is built into the PowerEdge 2500, 2550 and 4400. It is a dual channel

32-bit controller with a single 128MB DIMM for dedicated cache, has a back-up battery to maintain the

information stored in cache in the event of a power failure, and is capable of handling RAID levels 0, 1, 5

and 10. Like all PERC3 controllers, it uses the i960 100MHz processor and can operate either one internal,

or one internal and one external channel concurrently.** It too requires the purchase of an enabler kit. It is

a very inexpensive way to achieve full RAID functionality.

PERC3/DCL (Dual Channel Light)

The PERC3/DCL is a light version of the PERC3/DC. Available on PowerEdge 1400 and 1550 servers, it is a

dual channel 64-bit, 66MHz card with 64MB RAM cache that supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50. It is a

PCI card that is fully hot-plug compliant, and can handle two internal, two external, or one internal-one

external connection simultaneously. The main differences between this and the PERC3/DC are the amount

of RAM and the lack of a cache back-up battery.

Dell Enterprise SystemsSection 4The third generation of Dell™ PowerEdge™

Expandable Raid Controllers (PERC3) provides

excellent connectivity options for SCSI disk

subsystems across the entire PowerEdge server

family. Based on Ultra3 (U160) technology, they

support RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10, and 50*, and are

capable of maximum burst transfer rates of 160MB/s

versus 80MB/s on the PERC2 generation. With a

dedicated processor, up to 128MB RAM, and

battery-backed data protection, the PERC3

controllers free your servers computing

resources to focus on their assigned tasks.



PERC3/DC (Dual Channel)

The PERC3/DC is a dual channel 64-bit, 66MHz PCI RAID card. With a full 128MB RAM for cache and an

integrated back-up battery, it can be unplugged and moved to another machine while preserving all buffered

information up to 72 hours*** after a server power failure. Fully hot-plug compliant, it supports RAID levels

0, 1, 5, 10 and 50 and will be aggressively priced to offer strong value to Dell customers. It can support the

same mixing of internal and external channels as the PERC3/DCL.

PERC3/QC (Quad Channel)

The top of the PERC3 line, the PERC3/QC is a four channel 64-bit, 66MHz PCI RAID card. It has a single

128MB RAM cache DIMM, includes the same back-up battery functionality as the PERC3/DC card and

supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50. It can support up to two internal channels with the balance (up to

four total) running external RAID connections.

CERC ATA100/4CH

Using ATA100 technology, the CERC ATA100/4CH controller introduces a new RAID technology to the Dell

PowerEdge family of servers. With maximum burst rates of 100MB/second/channel, this new card enables

high performance, value-priced RAID solutions.

*RAID 50 is available on the DC, DCL, and QC models only

**Consult specific platforms for external connectivity capability

***Battery backup available on DC and QC models. Consult specific platforms for ROMB battery availability.

Dell Rack System



PowerEdge™ Rack 4210 – The PowerEdge Rack 4210 cabinet is Dell's full size enclosure. While

meeting all of the industry standards for 19", 42U racks it adds features never before seen on a Dell rack.

Added depth enables longer components to be installed while leaving ample space in the rear for cable

routing, all while maintaining the same footprint as its predecessor. With clearly labeled U positions on the

front and back of all mounting posts, a reduced overall height allowing it to fit through standard doors,

redesigned side panels for easy access to 0U spaces, additional cable access slots, and much more it is a

tremendous improvement over our previous full height rack.

24U Rack – The Dell 24U Rack cabinet is designed for environments where a six foot rack is simply too tall.

Similar to the 4210, it offers multiple cable access slots, accommodates all Dell rack-optimized equipment,

and facilitates the proper airflow for cooling the installed systems without the need for additional fans.

Dell Rack Mounting Kits – Datacenter managers have more important things to spend time and energy on

than the physical installation of their new server and storage equipment. With this in mind, Dell has developed

an installation kit consisting of the new RapidRail™ mounting arms and tool-less cable management arms.

Both attach easily and quickly to either Dell rack enclosures or all Dell rack-optimized systems to reduce the

time and effort involved in getting new systems into their racks. Captive thumbscrews and self-locking

brackets eliminate the need for tools, and the rails lock in the fully extended installation positions to keep

them in place while inserting the component into them. Velcro straps on the cable management arms make

bundling the system cables as painless as possible, and the folding arm design helps to keep them from

becoming entangled while moving the server between extension positions. Together they make the arduous

tack of physical server and storage component installation a much easier process.

Dell Enterprise SystemsSection 5Dell is committed to doing everything possible

to aid in the success of our enterprise customers.

This can be seen in our strong product offerings in

server and storage products. With the markets

renewed interest in consolidating equipment in

centralized data centers we have offered more and

more rack optimized equipment. To complement

these products we have recently completed a

revision of our rack cabinet and peripherals platform.



Dell 1U Flat Panel Monitor – Redesigned in November of 2000, the Dell 1U Flat Panel Monitor provides

the ability to mount a system operators control station directly into a Dell rack while saving valuable space

for the actual server and storage components. Taking up half the space as previous products, it includes a

14" LCD flat panel monitor, specially designed keyboard/trackball combination, attached power transformer,

and built-in wrist pad. With a pair of standard PS/2 connectors and SVGA video output, it is fully compatible

with the Dell 1U Rack Mounting Kit for quick and painless installations.

Dell Console Switches – To facilitate the management of multiple servers by a single or dual management

station, Dell offers the 1 x 8 and 2 x 16 Dell Console Switches. Manufactured to Dell specifications by

Avocent™, they allow the single or dual point control of up to 256 separate servers. Included with each is a

specially designed graphical user interface that operates independent of any system it controls. This allows

for system status operation of any server regardless of the current operational state. Taking up only 1U of

rack space, these switches are a vital part of the overall server management system. Providing constant

power to the rack from multiple sources and protecting the installed components from power spikes is a vital

rack system function. To help accomplish this, Dell offers a flexible Power Distribution Unit, Dual Power Grid

switch, and a variety of Uninterruptible Power Supplies.

InfrastructureComputing



Dell is an e-commerce pioneer. Since first transacting business on Dell.com in 1996, Dell has continued to

be an industry leader in e-business. Dell has used this experience in e-commerce to develop a business-critical,

three-tier infrastructure (see Figure 1), comprised of hundreds of servers and managing millions of hits per

day. With each tier optimized for specific functions, this multi-tier infrastructure provides high performance

with its cost-effective, efficient design.

E-business applications tend to be highly integrated with each other and with core infrastructure software

and network components. Integrating e-business applications into a company’s mainstream business

operations requires creating an online business-computing model. At the highest level, business-computing

applications can be categorized into three different types that create a model for all business computing

functions: E-business Applications, Standard Applications and Core Infrastructure Applications. These

functions build on top of Dell Infrastructure Computing hardware platforms.

Dell Enterprise SystemsSection 7



Dell Infrastructure Computing Platform – Dell provides an end-to-end Infrastructure Computing product

line. Dell server and storage products serve as industry-standard building blocks for deploying a scalable,

and highly available computing infrastructure.

E-Business Infrastructure Applications – E-Business Infrastructure Applications are the newest to

emerge from the software industry. These applications tend to be highly segmented and specialized,

offering an array of new software, products and technologies. E-business applications support new

paradigms of computing capabilities and services to employees, customers and suppliers.

As the newest layer in the software application hierarchy, innovation and deployment expertise with these

applications can offer significant competitive advantages.

Dell’s deployment of online Web stores, order management, e-procurement, and e-supply chain solutions

have created a significant competitive advantage for its business.

Standard Infrastructure Application – The functions of these applications run the day-to-day

office-computing environment and include e-mail, project management, database repositories and Web site

management are but a few examples of standard infrastructure applications. In the past, large internal

teams of system integrators and IT staff were required to load, deploy and support this class of applications.

Today, these applications are mature standardized deployments at most customer sites. Dell’s own internal

use, customer use and engineering research and development work result in Best Practice configuration,

integration and deployment expertise directly available to Dell customers.

Core Infrastructure Applications – These applications include file/print, networking, communications,

storage, backup/recovery and other core networking computing operations. These applications under go

extensive research, engineering development and testing by Dell to assure that the base hardware and

software foundation components are well-integrated, reliable, scalable, available and able to serve the

needs of higher-level applications. Dell’s ISO 9002 compliant factories can directly install many of these core

infrastructure applications for customers before shipment. This saves customers the time and expense of

independent validation testing, system preparation and application load times. Dell factory installation

allows IT staffs to focus on other activities, or it can be used as a jump start to speed deployment.



The diagram below illustrates a multi-tier architecture blueprint. This Internet site has users connected to

their network through the Internet via a browser. It represents a typical three-tier infrastructure:

Tier 1: Router, firewall, cache server(s), load balancing server(s), Web server(s)

Tier 2: Application servers

Tier 3: Database servers

A three-tier model is commonly broken down into cache, load balancing and Web servers, application

servers, and database servers. Each of the three tiers has its own specific needs and may require a

different solution to achieve those needs. PowerEdge™ Appliance servers were designed to be cost effective

and efficient, targeted to maximize the performance of your IP related, front-end functions. PowerEdge

Appliance servers are used to build the front-end tier (cache, load balancing and web servers) of your

internet infrastructure where IP routing and processing of static content is more common. PowerEdge servers

and PowerVault™ storage, through their redundancy and internal system scalability, are ideally suited to meet

the transactional, dynamic content needs of the application and database server functions. Through the use

of Dell PowerEdge Appliance, PowerEdge and PowerVault solutions, you can build a cost effective, efficient

and performance based computing infrastructure to meet the changing needs of your organization.

Choosing the right tool is an essential part of

completing any job in the most efficient and cost

effective manner, while gaining the maximum

performance. The same holds true for building a

computing infrastructure. Using a three-tier model

will enable you to build a cost-effective and

efficient environment while maximizing your

entire infrastructure's performance.
