Table 1. Key technologies
Detailed description
Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 and E-2600 v2 product families have advanced
features that deliver exceptional performance and value. See the Processor
section for details.
The Intel Platform Controller Hub (PCH) chip is implemented on the R620
server.
The Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 v2 product family supports 1866MT/s
memory. The R620 supports two DIMMs per channel at 1866MT/s with these
processors. See the Memory section for details.
This memory option, load reduced DIMM (LRDIMM), is designed with a buffer
chip (or chips) to replace the register to help minimize loading. LRDIMMs can
increase overall server system memory capacity and speed. See the Memory
section for more information.
Dell's Select Network Adapter options allow you to customize your LAN port
combinations from your choice of controller vendors. See the Networking and
PCIe section for details.
The R620 supports the new PERC controller cards with improved functionality
and faster performance. See the Storage section for details.
This new software RAID solution supports RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10; supports
maximum of four hot-plug SATA hard drives or SATA solid-state drives. See the
Storage section for details.
Dell Express Flash PCIe solid-state drives provide fast performance without
requiring processor resources or capturing DRAM. The R620 supports up to two
Express Flash drives. See the Storage section for details.
The new embedded system management solution for Dell servers features
hardware and firmware inventory and alerting, in-depth memory alerting, faster
performance, a dedicated gigabit port and many more features. See the Dell
OpenManage systems management section for details.
The R620 supports internal graphics processing units (GPUs) for extreme
computing power to solve HPC needs. See the Processor section for details.
A new 1100W DC power supply option is available for the R620.
The R620 supports advanced power monitoring and power capping tools that
can help manage power consumption.
Dell has tested and validated an integrated data center solution that enables you
to operate at higher temperatures or even chiller-less. See the Power, thermal
and acoustics section for details.
The internal dual SD module enables Dell's unique Failsafe Virtualization
architecture, ensuring uptime by providing failover capability for embedded
hypervisors, such as VMware
