Dell’s Innovative 9th Generation PowerEdge Servers
Through innovative hardware design, software commonality and continued focus on fewer system updates, Dell’s 9th
generation PowerEdge servers help reduce the complexity involved in managing data, whether you are a large enterprise or
a small business. These servers are designed to a Dell
™
-developed Behavioral Specification that defines consistent hardware
layout and user interaction across all server models in this and future PowerEdge generations. Plus, a shared master system
image with 1950 and 2950 enables updates to BIOS, system drivers, firmware, operating systems and applications from one
easy-to-copy template for simplified software management. Featuring the latest Intel
®
Xeon
®
processors, the 9th generation
PowerEdge servers offer the power and performance you expect from Dell.
Dell PowerEdge 2900 Delivers Enterprise-Level Performance
The Dell PowerEdge 2900 server is designed to deliver exceptional performance in a tower chassis or a 5U rackable option
with next generation dual core Intel Xeonprocessors, Fully Buffered Dimm memory technology and Serial Attached SCSI hard
drives. It also supports twelve memory slots for 48GB of memory capacity for memory-intense workloads and applications.
And the TCP/IP Offload Engine functionality in the embedded Gigabit NIC‘s helps further to improve cpu performance and
utilization by moving the TCP/IP protocol processing to the NIC.
Flexibility and Expandibility for Growing Environments
The Dell PowerEdge 2900 server is built with flexibility in mind. It offers the widest variety of configuration options available
in a Dell two-socket server. You can choose from tower or rack chassis options with hot plug SAS or SATA hard drives and
several optical devices and tape products for up to 3.0TB of internal storage. What’s more, the system features six I/O slots.
And because Dell Remote Access Card (DRAC) and PERC 5/i integrated controller utilize dedicated daughtercard slots, all six
I/O slots are available for expandability. You have the option of adding up to four dual embedded Gigabit Network Interface
Cards (NICs) and two dual channel storage interface devices providing incredible growth potential.
Dependable Availability to Maximize Uptime
With high availability features such as hot plug hard drives and redundant power supplies/fans, the Dell PowerEdge 2900
helps keep data dependably moving through your organization. It also provides support for multiple RAID options including
integrated RAID with 256MB of battery-backed cache so you know that your valuable information is reliably accessible.
Manageability for Reduced Complexity
The Dell PowerEdge 2900 server is equipped with a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) that includes a complete set
of tools that monitors server hardware, alerts you when server faults occur and enables basic remote operations. For
environments with servers located in secure data centers or in sites with no IT staff, Dell offers an optional feature for
PowerEdge servers, the Dell Remote Access Controller (DRAC). Operated through a Web-based graphic user interface, DRAC
can enable remote access, monitoring, troubleshooting, repair and upgrades independent of the operating system status.
Common software with the same family of PowerEdge 9th generation servers further helps simplify management. Plus, the
Dell Behavioral Specification means one familiar platform for less complex deployment, management and serviceability as
well as lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) over multiple generations of PowerEdge servers.
