Dell™ PowerEdge™ M710 Technical Guidebook
the Dell™ POWeReDGe™ M710
The Dell PowerEdge M-Series blade servers help cut operating expenses through energy efficiency,
product flexibility, and efficient use of data center space. When combined with Dell's world-class
storage, management, and support offerings, the result is a total enterprise solution that can help you
simplify and save on IT expenses.
strong it foundation
To build the most efficient data center solutions, Dell sought input from IT professionals. You asked for
reliability, scalability, energy efficiency, and a lower total cost of ownership. Our next-generation M710 blade
server delivers, becoming the cornerstone of a high-performance data center capable of keeping pace with
your changing business demands.
Purposeful Design
Designed with your needs in mind, these M-Series blades use the Intel
Xeon
5500 Series Processor.

®
This processor series adapts to your software in real time, processing more tasks simultaneously. Using Intel
Turbo Boost Technology, the M-Series blades can increase performance during peak usage periods. When
demand decreases, Intel Intelligent Power Technology helps reduce operating costs and energy usage by
proactively putting your server into lower power states.
Today's data center demands high availability and redundancy. The new Full-Height PowerEdge M710 delivers
full-fabric redundancy (on all three fabrics) for exceptional I/O capacity. Dell's innovative expansion to a
full-height form factor enables a significant increase in the total memory capacity of the M710: 18 DIMMs
slots and up to 144GB of total RAM. The M710 Blade Server allows quick virtualization with software from
leading industry vendors using an SD card or internal USB for embedded hypervisors.
scalability for Growth
As your application needs increase, M-Series blades allow you to scale up to 128 cores and 1536GB of memory
per 10U chassis, with opportunities for even greater capacities in the future. To keep pace with changing
requirements, you can effectively scale I/O application bandwidth with end-to-end 10Gbe or FC8 solutions.
Virtualize I/O within your M-Series chassis using Cisco's Virtual Blade Switch technology, and manage up
to nine Cisco Ethernet switches as a single switch. Additionally, use NPIV and Port Aggregator modes on a
variety of switches to virtualize Ethernet or Fibre Channel ports for integration into heterogeneous fabrics.
By harnessing Dell's FlexIO modular switches, you can scale your I/O needs cost effectively, adding ports
and functionality through switch modules, including 10Gb uplinks and stacking ports instead of needing to
buy complete new switches.
simplified systems Management
Gain more control with the next-generation Dell OpenManage™ suite of management tools. These tools
provide enhanced operations and standards-based commands designed to integrate with existing systems
for effective control. Dell Management Console (DMC) helps simplify operations and creates stability by
shrinking infrastructure management to a single console. This delivers a single view and a common data
source for your entire infrastructure management. Built on Symantec
Management Platform, it has an
®
easily extensible, modular foundation that can provide basic hardware management all the way up to
more advanced functions, such as asset and security management. Dell Management Console reduces or
eliminates manual processes, enabling you to save time and money for more strategic
technology usage.
The Dell Management Console integrates with the Chassis Management Controller allowing a single view of
the chassis. The DMC allows the customer to manage the chassis as one entity, further simplifying management.
