Right Sized, Flexible Technology & Business Value

The R510 can serve the needs of small and medium businesses or corporate environments by providing an excellent platform for core business applications such as Microsoft® SQL Server® and Microsoft® Exchange.

The R510 includes a number of features designed to meet the needs of many IT environments:

Advanced systems management capabilities
Short and dense 24-inch chassis
High availability and redundancy features
Cost-effective RAID option
Large amounts of internal storage capacity

Dell™ aims to add value to your business by including the features you need for your unique IT environment. Our goal is to deliver value through tailored solutions based on industry standards, as well as purposeful, innovative design.

Purposeful Design

The PowerEdge R510 follows the 11^th Generation PowerEdge portfolio behavioral specifications and features the same system design commonality and reliability true to the entire portfolio. All 11^th Generation servers are built with user ease in mind.

We put all external ports, power supplies and LED lights in the same location for familiar user experience, as well as, easy installation and deployment.	In addition, the R510 is also available with different chassis options. Customers can choose from 4, 8 or 12 hard drive chassis or an 8 hard drive chassis. These different configurations allow you to choose the design and feature set that is most appropriate for your needs.
Robust, metal hard-drive carriers and organized cabling are designed to improve component access and airflow across the server.	The 4-hard-drive chassis is more affordable, featuring LED diagnostic lights, a cabled power supply and cabled hard drives. The larger capacity 12 hard drive chassis offers hot-swappable hard drives and redundant power. The 8 hard drive chassis offers an interactive LCD display that aids in set-up, location and diagnosis of the server
The purposeful design of the PowerEdge R510's purposeful design also provides quiet acoustics and an interactive LCD screen or LED light display (depending on chassis selected) positioned on the front of the server for ease of monitoring.	These different configurations allow you to choose the design and feature set that is most appropriate for your IT environment.

Energy Optimized Technology

Included in the R510 are low-flow fans, designed to spin faster in accordance with server workload demands and help reduce unnecessary noise when possible.

Internal components aids with air flow direction helping to keep the server cool and quiet.

The R510 also can be configured to include power-management features such as power capping, power inventory and power budgeting to aid in the management of power within your environment.

Simplified Systems Management

The Lifecycle Controller helps to deliver faster server deployment and update capabilities from a bare-metal pre-operating system (OS) environment

Unified Server Configurator (USC) Interface

The Lifecycle Controller is a chip that is integrated on the server. It helps to simplify administrator tasks by performing a complete 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 eliminates the need to use and maintain multiple pieces of disparate CD/DVD media.

Also part of Dell's systems management portfolio is the Dell Management Console, part of Open Manage™ , which is included with every Dell server and provides IT managers with a single console view of their entire IT infrastructure.
