Dell PowerEdge 2800 User manual

Reliability, Availability and Serviceability
The PowerEdge™ 2800 server features enterprise-level high availability features like optional hot-pluggable
redundant power, hot-pluggable redundant cooling and even hot-pluggable PCI slots which allow you to
replace components on the fly without taking your server offline. In addition, memory availability features
such as ECC, SDDC, memory mirroring and spare bank memory help to ensure high data integrity and
uptime.
Expandable Performance and Incredible Storage Capacity
The PowerEdge™ 2800 system delivers the latest in processor, memory and local I/O throughput
technologies. Plus, it includes as many as seven PCI/PCI-X® or PCI Express™ slots. The PowerEdge™ 2800
server’s combination of high performance and large storage capacities make it an ideal choice for server
and storage consolidation projects. And this flexible server can be deployed as either a tower or a 5U rack-
mountable unit. The ten hard drive bays not only provide scalable high performance, they also offer the
ability to store multiple terabytes of data to help you keep up with rapidly growing storage requirements.
Simple Manageability and Serviceability
Designed with built-in manageability with the standard Baseboard Management Controller (IPMI 1.5
compliant), administrators can manage their server with any standard management application that
supports IPMI. The optional DRAC4/I advanced remote management card provides even greater levels of
management with continuous video, virtual floppy/CD and Active Directory support. The Dell™ OpenManage™
IT Assistant and Dell™ OpenManage™ Server Administrator help reduce management costs and hassles. And
its easily accessible chassis makes service easy. The PowerEdge™ 2800 shares the same system board
drivers and BIOS with the PowerEdge™ 1850 and 2850, helping to reduce your Total Cost Of Ownership.
The PowerEdge™ 2800 server is a feature-optimised workgroup class server that offers new levels of
availability, performance, storage capacity and manageability.
The dual processor Dell™ PowerEdge™
2800 server delivers aggressive
performance, massive internal storage
capacity and outstanding reliability in
either a tower server or rack-mountable
chassis to handle your growing data
storage needs and keep your business
running.
