th
-generation servers.
Table 1. Key technologies
Intel Xeon processor
E5-2600 and E5-2600 v2
product families
Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 and E5-2600 v2 product families have advanced
features that deliver exceptional performance and value. See the Processor
section for details.
Intel C602 series chipset
The Intel Platform Controller Hub (PCH) chip is implemented on the T620
server.
The Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 v2 product family supports 1866MT/s
memory. The T620 supports two DIMMs per channel at 1866MT/s with these
processors. See the Memory section for details.
This new 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.
Next-generation PERC
options
The T620 supports the new PERC controller cards with improved functionality
and faster performance. See the Storage section for details.
PERC S110 software RAID
solution
This new software RAID solution supports RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10, and supports a
maximum of four hot-plug SATA hard drives or SATA solid-state drives (SSDs).
See the Storage section for details.
Dell Express Flash PCIe solid-state drives provide fast performance without
requiring processor resources or capturing DRAM. The T620 supports up to four
Express Flash drives. See the Storage section for details.
iDRAC7 with Lifecycle
Controller
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 T620 supports internal graphics processing units (GPUs) for virtual desktop
infrastructure (VDI) and medical imaging. See the Processor section for details.
A new 1100W DC power supply option is available for the T620.
Advanced power
management
The T620 supports advanced power monitoring and power capping tools that
can help manage power consumption. See the Power, thermal and acoustics
section for details.
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
®
vSphere
®
ESXi™.
