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 available ―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 11th generation PowerEdge portfolio specifications and features the
same system design commonality and reliability true to the entire portfolio. All 11th generation
servers are designed to make the user experience easier. We put all external ports, power supplies,
LCD screens, and LED lights in the same location for familiar experience as well as easy installation
and deployment.
Robust, metal hard drive carriers and organized cabling are designed to help improve component
access and airflow across the server. 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. It incorporates
Energy Smart design using low-flow fans and logical component layout of the internal components
which aids with airflow direction and policy-driven power and thermal management, helping to 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 provisioning 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.

Dell
PowerEdge R410 Technical Guide 8
Also part of the Dell OpenManage™ portfolio is the Dell Management Console which is included with
every Dell server and provides IT administrators with a consolidated console view of their IT
infrastructure. This console delivers a single view and a common data source into the entire
infrastructure management. It has an easily extensible, modular foundation that can provide basic
hardware management or more advanced functions, such as asset and security management. Dell
Management Console is designed to reduce or eliminate manual processes, enabling you to save time
and money for more strategic technology usage.

Figure 7 shows the R410’s redundant Power Supply Unit (PSUs)
Figure 7. Redundant Power Supply Units
Indicator lights show the status of the PSU as follows:
Not lit —AC power is not connected.
Green —In standby mode, a green light indicates a valid AC source is connected to the power supply
and the power supply is operational. When the system is on, a green light also indicates that the
power supply is providing DC power to the system.

Dell
PowerEdge R410 Technical Guide 17
Amber —Indicates a problem with the power supply.
Alternating green and amber —When hot-adding a power supply, this indicates that the power supply
is mismatched with the other power supply (for example, a High-Output 500W power supply and a
400W power supply are installed in the same system). Capacity of the installed power supplies must
match.

3.9 Fans
There are total of six fans with redundant PSU in the system and four fans with non-redundant PSU.
Figure 11 shows the R410 fans. The four fans at right are the fans for the system, especially for the
CPUs and memories. The two fans at left are there when the system is configured with redundant
PSU. They cool down the redundant PSU.

Security
3.10.1 Cover Latch
The PowerEdge R410 comes with a coin lock entry latch on the top cover of the unit and provides
security for the entire system. Also, the lock provides for toolless access to the chassis. For specific
information regarding the opening and closing of the system, see the Opening and Closing the System
section in the Installing System Components chapter of the PowerEdge R410 Hardware Owner’s
Manual.
3.10.2 Bezel
A metal bezel is an available option and is mounted to the chassis front to provide the Dell ID. A lock
on the bezel prevents un-authorized access to system peripherals and the control panel. System
status (via the LCD) remains viewable with the bezel is installed. For specific instructions regarding
the operation of the bezel, see the Removing and Replacing the Optional Front Bezel in the Installing
System Components chapter of the PowerEdge R410 Hardware Owner’s Manual.
3.10.3 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.
See the Hard Drives section in the Installing System Components chapter of the PowerEdge R410
Hardware Owner’s Manual for information.
3.10.4 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 store the BitLocker keys for hard drive encryption feature in
Microsoft®Windows Server®2008. TPM is enabled through a BIOS option and uses HMAC-SHA1-160 for
binding. In China, S-TPM (Socket TPM) is used.
3.10.5 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.
3.10.6 Intrusion Alert
Chassis intrusion switch is located on the front panel board as shown in Figure 14. The switch detects
when the top cover is opened.
