15 Peripherals
Common peripherals for the M1000e include:
• An external USB DVD-ROM Drive is often used for local installation of OS or other software.
• A Dell 1U rack console which enables customers to mount a system administrator’s control
station directly into a Dell rack without sacrificing rack space needed for servers and other
peripherals. It features:
o 17" LCD flat-panel monitor with height adjustment
o Specially designed keyboard and trackball combination
o Twin PS/2 connectors
o SVGA video output
o 1U rack-mounting kit
o Simple installation
• Uninterruptible power supplies for racks, which provides a temporary power source to bridge
the critical moments after a power failure, allowing:
o Time to save and back up the data being processed
o Safely power down your servers
o Support for up to 5000 VA (3750 watts)
• Power distribution units (PDUs): use the Dell Energy Smart Solution Advisor (ESSA) to see what
a given chassis configuration will require.
o Single phase needs one PDU per chassis
Use 30A for a medium to lightly loaded chassis
Use 60A for a heavily loaded
o For 3 phase:
30A 3 phase for a heavily loaded single chassis
50 or 60A 3 phase for multiple chassis.
o Generally customers run 2 x 3 phase circuits to the rack via a PDU, then the PDU
breaks out single phases to each PSU.
