PowerEdge T410 Technical Guide 6
1Product Comparison
1.1 Overview
Inspired by the requirements of and feedback from small-business, medium-business and corporate
users, the Dell™ PowerEdge™ T410 is a powerful, reliable server that delivers balanced high
performance. The T410 is a 2-socket tower server featuring Intel®Xeon®processor 5500 and 5600
series, DDR3 memory, and 6 hard drive bays that can accommodate 3.5‖ or 2.5‖ hard drives.
Featuring excellent acoustics for office environments as well as energy-efficient technologies, the
T410 deploys easily and is managed in a simplified, straightforward manner throughout its lifecycle.
1.2 Customer-Inspired Design
Inspired by our customers, the PowerEdge T410 was built to simplify daily operations and maximize
uptime. Consistent component layout and purposeful placement of interface ports and power
supplies enable easy installation and replacement. With a depth of 24‖ (617 mm), the PowerEdge
T410 chassis is easy to access and designed to reside in a back office, retail, or small office setting
where a small chassis and quiet acoustics matter.
Robust, metal hard drive carriers and organized cabling are designed to improve access to internal
components of the server, as well as airflow across them. The purposeful design of the T410 includes
an optional LCD screen positioned on the front panel for ease of monitoring.
1.3 Energy-Efficient
Energy efficiency is designed into the PowerEdge T410. Several Energy Smart standards-based
components reduce power consumption while providing increased performance. For example,
Energy Smart 90%+ efficient power supply units are right-sized for the system requirements of the
PowerEdge T410. Power management features include power capping, power inventory, and power
budgeting to best manage power in your specific environment.
1.4 Easy to Manage
The Dell PowerEdge T410 lets you focus on running your business rather than running your servers.
Dell OpenManage systems management software helps to automate common management tasks,
thereby enhancing efficiency, improving productivity, and reducing the potential for error (which can
cause downtime).

redundant)
User-friendly chassis—most devices are toolless:
oHard drives (cabled and hot-plug)
oOptical drive and tape backup unit
oFans
oExpansion cards
oPlanar
oBackplane
oPower distribution board
oRedundant power supply (non-redundant power supply is secured with three screws)

See the Back-Panel Features and Indicators section in the About Your System chapter of the
PowerEdge T410 Hardware Owner’s Manual on Support.Dell.com for more information.
4.5 Hard Drive LED Indicators
Each disk drive carrier has two LED indicators visible from the front of the system. One is a green LED
for disk activity and the other is a bicolor (green/amber) LED for status information. The activity LED
is driven by the disk drive during normal operation. The bicolor LED is controlled by the storage
enclosure processor (SEP) device on the backplane. Both LEDs are used to indicate certain conditions
under direction of a storage controller.
For more information, see the Hard-Drive Indicator Patterns section in the About Your System
chapter in the Dell PowerEdge T410 Systems Hardware Owner’s Manual on Support.Dell.com.
4.6 Power Supply Indicators
The PowerEdge T410 optional redundant power supplies have one status bi-color LED: green for AC
power present and amber for a fault as detailed in Table 3.

4.9 Rails and Cable Management
The PowerEdge T410 is not a rackable system and does not have a rack kit. However, the T410 can
be stored in a rack using a third-party rack tray.
For information on power-cord cable-management, see the Installation and Configuration section in
the Dell PowerEdge T410 Getting Started Guide on Support.Dell.com.
4.10 Fans
There is one cabled system fan located at back of the system. It is not hot-swappable.
4.11 Control Panel

4.12 Security
For additional information regarding the following security features, see the PowerEdge T410
Hardware Owner’s Manual on Support.Dell.com.
4.12.1 Cover Latch
The PowerEdge T410 comes with a tooled latch on the side cover of the system that secures it to the
chassis. A lock secures the cover latch.
4.12.2 Bezel
A bezel is mounted to the front of the chassis. A lock on the bezel is used to protect unauthorized
access to remove or install an optional tape backup unit, optical disk drives, or hot-plug hard drives
(hot-plug hard drive chassis only). System status on the LCD or LED control panel is viewable even
when the bezel is installed.
4.12.3 Hard Drive
For T410 systems with a hot-plug hard drive chassis, the front bezel of the system contains a lock
which secures the system hard drives.
For systems with a cabled hard drive chassis, the drives are secured by the cover-latch lock on the
side of the system.
4.12.4 TPM
The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is used to generate and store keys, protect and authenticate
passwords, and create and store digital certificates. The TPM can also be used to store Microsoft®
BitLocker™ keys for hard drive encryption features in Microsoft Windows Server®2008. TPM is
enabled through a BIOS option.
4.12.5 Power Off Security
The control panel is designed so the power switch cannot be accidentally activated. The lock on the
bezel secures the switch behind the bezel. In addition, there is a setting in the CMOS setup that
disables the power button function.
4.12.6 Intrusion Alert
A switch mounted on the inside of the chassis, near the 5.25‖ drive bays, is used to detect chassis
intrusion. When the cover is opened, the switch circuit closes to indicate intrusion.
4.12.7 Secure Mode
BIOS has the ability to enter a secure boot mode through Setup. This mode includes the option to
lock out the power and NMI switches on the control panel or set up a system password.
For more information, see System and Setup Password Features section in the About Your System
chapter in the PowerEdge T410 Hardware Owner’s Manual on Support.Dell.com.
4.13 USB Key
The PowerEdge T410 has two ports inside the system on the planar for optional USB keys. Some
possible applications of the USB key are listed as follows:
•User custom boot and pre-boot OS for ease of deployment or diskless environments

Dell
PowerEdge T410 Technical Guide 20
•USB license keys for software applications like eToken™ or Sentinel Hardware Keys
•Storage of custom logs or scratch pads for portable user defined information (not hot-
swappable)
4.14 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 ICH chip.
There is also a battery holder for optional PERC cards which is located under the chassis cover.
4.15 Field Replaceable Units (FRU)
The planar contains a 16K x 8 serial EEPROM to store FRU information including Dell part number,
part revision level, and serial number. This part is also used as a system event log (SEL) to be used by
the baseboard management controller (BMC).
