Dell PowerEdge 2900 Review:
Dell is renowned for their build quality, but the Dell PowerEdge 2900 takes it to a whole new level. The chassis is built to resemble a tank, with a lockable front panel to prevent access to the hard drives and bays.
Located at the front of the Dell 2900 is a distinct LCD panel, which changes color when a fault is realized. Adding to this is the room to accommodate up to eight SATA or SAS hard drives.
There is also an option to fit a flex-bay beneath the 5.25in bays, and features its very own interface and backplane. The interior of the Dell PowerEdge is divided into two slices, with the motherboard located at the front and the power distribution board sited at the back.
Power fault tolerance of the Dell PowerEdge 2900 is helped by two large massive 930W hot-swap supplies, and although the cooling components may look cluttered at first glance, but the easily detachable fan cages provide easy access to all the arrangements.
The Dell PowerEdge 2900 features a passive heatsink, with a dedicated fan for each of the two sockets. The included buffered memory of 8GB can be increased to 48GB. The Dell PowerEdge 2900 is appointed with Gigabit adapters that are combined with TCP offload engines and can be enabled with a hardware key.
The only pitfall of the Dell PowerEdge 2900 is the availability of just two SATA interfaces, but you can always use a Dell controller card. The smart web interface of the Dell PowerEdge 2900 allows you to control power and components on the server from virtually anywhere even if it is in a non-bootable state.
