PowerEdge R410 Technical Guide 6
1Product Comparison
1.1 Overview
The Dell™ PowerEdge™ R410 is ideal for compute-intensive applications in space-constrained
environments. It is a powerful, ultra-dense 2-socket 1U server that offers the performance of Intel®
Xeon®processor 5500 and 5600 series, DDR3 memory, and the availability of up to four hard drives
(3.5” or 2.5”), and is an exceptional value.
The PowerEdge R410 features include an open HPCC (High Performance Computing Cluster) software
stack, excellent diagnostics with an interactive LCD, and an optimum chassis depth of 24” for space-
constrained data centers and HPCC environments.
The Dell PowerEdge R410 was developed with a customer-inspired design, energy-optimized
technology, advanced virtualization capabilities, and simplified systems management.
1.2 Design for Usability
The PowerEdge R410 follows the eleventh-generation PowerEdge portfolio specifications and features
the same system design commonality and reliability as the entire portfolio. All eleventh-generation
PowerEdge servers are designed to make the user experience easier. Dell puts all external ports,
power supplies, LCD screens, and LED lights in the same location for familiar experience as well as
easy installation and deployment.
The PowerEdge R410 provides reduced complexity, showcasing clutter-free cable routing for more
efficient airflow and easier maintenance. An LCD screen positioned by the front of the bezel provides
aisle-level access to deploy the server.
1.3 Energy Efficient
The PowerEdge R410 features energy-tuned technologies that reduce power consumption while
increasing performance capacity so you can compute more while consuming less. The R410
incorporates Energy Smart design using low-flow fans and logical component layout of the internal
components, which aid with airflow direction. These design elements, along with policy-driven power
and thermal management help keep the server cool and reduce noise as much as possible. A robust
fan cage design with hot-plug, single-pull fan modules provides efficient airflow and eases
maintenance. Energy efficient and compact, the PowerEdge R410 is designed with value and
reliability for HPCC environments.
1.4 Easy to Manage
With the optional advanced embedded systems management capabilities of Lifecycle Controller, Dell
provides comprehensive enterprise class manageability already on the motherboard. Lifecycle
Controller is delivered as part of the optional iDRAC Express or iDRAC Enterprise in the PowerEdge
R410. The Lifecycle Controller helps to simplify administrator tasks by performing a comprehensive
set of management 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 helps eliminate the need to use and maintain multiple pieces of disparate CD/DVD
media.

on the bezel prevents un-authorized access to system peripherals and the control panel as shown in
the Removing and Replacing the Optional Front Bezel section in the Installing System Components
chapter of the PowerEdge R410 Hardware Owner’s Manual on Support.Dell.com/Manuals.
4.8.3 Hard Drive
Hot-Plug hard drives are only accessible by opening the bezel, thus locking the bezel secures the
hard drives. Cabled Hard drives are only accessible by opening the top cover, thus locking the top
cover will secure the hard drives.
For more information, see the Hard Drives section in the Installing System Components chapter of
the PowerEdge R410 Hardware Owner’s Manual for information on Support.Dell.com/Manuals.
4.8.4 Trusted Platform Management (TPM)
The TPM is used to generate/store keys, protect/authenticate passwords, and create/store digital
certificates. TPM can also be used to enable the Microsoft®BitLocker™ hard drive encryption feature
in Windows Server 2008.
TPM is enabled through a BIOS option and uses HMAC-SHA1-160 for binding. A Trusted Computing
Module (TCM) version of the planar is available for use where TCM is the standard, for example, in
China.
4.8.5 Power-Off Security
The control panel is designed so that the power switch cannot be accidentally activated. The lock on
the bezel secures the switch behind the bezel. In addition, a setting in the CMOS setup disables the
power button function.
4.8.6 Intrusion Alert
A switch mounted on the left riser board is used to detect chassis intrusion. When the cover is
opened, the switch circuit closes to indicate intrusion to Embedded System Management (ESM). When
enabled, the software can provide notification to the customer that the cover has been opened. The
PowerEdge R810 only supports up to 5 minutes of operation with the cover off.

4.8.7 Secure Mode
BIOS can enter a secure boot mode via setup. This mode includes the option to lock out the power
and NMI switches on the control panel or set up a system password.
4.9 USB Key
An optional USB memory key installed inside your system can be used as a boot device, security key,
or mass storage device. The USB connector must be enabled by the Internal USB Port option in the
Integrated Devices screen of the System Setup program.
4.10 Battery
A replaceable coin cell CR2032 3V battery is mounted on the planar to provide backup power for the
Real-Time Clock and CMOS RAM on the ICH10 chip.
4.11 Field Replaceable Units (FRU)
Parts available for field replacement include:
• Backplane
• CMOS battery
• Expansion card
• Front bezel
• HDD

5.1 Power Supplies
The Dell™ PowerEdge™ R410 is powered by a non-redundant 480W power supply and redundant 500W
power supply. The power supply has automatic input voltage detection. An auxiliary power-out
receptacle is not provided.
The power supply in the chassis has been rated as 82%, efficient at 20%, and 100% load, and 85%
efficient at 50% load under 115V AC input line. Redundant power efficiency is 88% at 20% load, 100%
load, 92% efficiency at 50% load under 230V AC input line.
The base system includes a single 480W power supply. This unit provides power to the PowerEdge
R410 planar, the four internal hard drive bays, and one slim optical disk drive bay. Power is soft-
switched allowing power cycling via a switch on the front of the system enclosure or via software
control (through server management functions). The power system is compatible with industry
standards, such as ACPI and Server 2000.
There are two separate power supply connectors on the planar: an ATX connector (2x12) and a 2x4
connector to provide an additional two pins for +12V. (The ATX connector pin definition is not
standard, and it defined by power rating calculation).
The 2x12 ATX connector provides 3.3V, 5V, 12V, and 12V standby to the system. The 5V standby is
provided to the system via a charge pump from 3.3V standby.
5.2 Power Supply Indicators
The PowerEdge R410 redundant power supplies have one status bi-color LED: green for AC power
present and amber for a fault as detailed in Table 3.
