Security features
The latest generation of PowerEdge servers has the features listed in the table to help ensure the security of your data center.
Table 5. Security features
Security feature Description
Cover latch A tooled latch is integrated in the top cover to secure it to the system.
Bezel A standard bezel is an optional metal bezel mounted to the chassis front. A lock on the bezel protects
unauthorized access to hard drives. The Quick Sync NFC bezel enables the iDRAC QuickSync
management function for managing the server from the front using an NFC-capable device and the
free Dell EMC OpenManage Mobile App (currently Android only). Available only from the factory and
not supported after point of sale.
TPM The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is used to generate/store keys, protect/authenticate passwords,
and create/store digital certicates.
Power-o security BIOS has the ability to disable the power button function.
Intrusion alert An internal switch is used to detect chassis intrusion
Secure Boot mode BIOS has the ability to enter a secure boot mode through system setup. This mode includes the option
to lock out the power switches on the control panel or set up a system password.

Processors
The PowerEdge R840 server features the exceptional performance, value, and power eciency of the Intel Xeon Scalable Processor.
These processors can provide high performance no matter what your constraint—oor space, power, or budget—and on workloads
that range from the most complicated scientic exploration to crucial web-serving and infrastructure applications. In addition to
providing raw performance gains, improved I/O is also made possible with Intel Integrated I/O, which can reduce latency by adding
more lanes and doubling bandwidth. This helps to reduce network and storage bottlenecks, which improves the processor
performance capabilities.
Processor features
The new processor family is the next generation core architecture with improved Instructions per Cycle (IPC) and other architectural
improvements.
The Intel Xeon Scalable Processor family not only adds new features, but also improves upon many features of the predecessor Intel
Xeon processor E5-2600 v4 product family, including:
• Virtual address space of 48 bits and a physical address space of 46 bits
• Intel Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT Technology) when enabled allow each core to support two threads
• First-Level Cache (FLC) 64 KB total. The FLC is composed of a 32 KB ICU (Instruction Cache) and 32 KB DCU—Data Cache
• MB MidLevel Cache (MLC) per core (noninclusive with the LLC)
• Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions 512 (Intel® AVX-512) with a single AVX512 fused multiply-add (FMA) execution units.
Processors which support Advanced RAS enable a second FMA execution unit.
