Dell PowerEdge R610 Product Review

Although the Dell PowerEdge r610 features the latest Intel 5500 Nehalem processors, it’s definitely has a lot more to brag about. The r610 brings to the table reduced power requirements, prime focus on virtualization and of course value for money.

Adding to its long list of features is the Lifecycle controller that combined with the DMC (Dell Management Control) significantly reduces the tediousness associated with support and management.

At first glance, it’s hard not to notice the completely revamped front panel, which is appointed with a smart LED display that indicates power consumption and the temperatures. The Dell PowerEdge r610 can house up to six SFF hard disks in sturdy hot swap carriers, where the levers are now made up of metal rather than plastic.

The Dell's PERC 6/I provides the RAID options, and supports stripes, mirrors, hot sparing, RAID5, and comes with a battery backup unit. Opening up the lid cover of the Dell PowerEdge r610 reveals a SD memory slot that’s stacked on top of an optical drive.

The included 1 GB card is geared towards hypervisors as it is a bootable device. The motherboard of the Dell PowerEdge r610 is extremely tidy and features solid passive heatsinks with hyper boost technology and Intel’s Hyper-Threading.

Cooling in the PowerEdge r610 is catered to by six robust dual rotor fans, making the machine extremely quiet. Remote management in the PowerEdge r610 is facilitated by the iDRAC controller that has a dedicated slot at the rear.
