Dell PowerEdge R510 Product Review

Dell has successfully filled in the gap in the server lineup with the PowerEdge r510. Fact is many businesses demand plenty of storage, but unfortunately a few of them can afford to invest in state of the art equipment, but the Dell PowerEdge r510 changes all of that.

Measuring in at just 24 inches deep, the chassis of the r510 is much smaller in length than standard rack form factor servers, but is still a great choice for space restricted server rooms. The front of the Dell PowerEdge r510 can accommodate up to eight hot swap hard drives in 2.5 or 3.5 inch configurations.

Additionally, with Dell’s optional RAID controllers support a mixture of SATA and SAS drives. Although the Dell PowerEdge r510 comes with an appealing price tag, you can get the cost even lower by opting for four bays instead of eight, where the hard drives are directly connected to the SATA interfaces in the motherboard.

The Dell PowerEdge r510 gives you a choice of three remote management options, where the base model is equipped with IPMI 2 BMC. This option provides management via a command line shell and share the first network port, which is from where you can control the power supply and reboot the server.

Next up is the revolutionary iDRAC 6 Express Card, which also shares the first network port and has its own dedicated socket at the rear of the motherboard. With this remote management interface comes Dell’s proprietary Lifecycle controller, which provides an additional 1GB of NVRAM memory that can be used to store software and drivers for immediate access.
