Designed from the ground up to bring a new level of functionality into the mainstream server industry, the
delivers an ideal combination of
PowerEdge 2500 is the ideal solution for corporate workgroups, branch offices, pre-production environments and
performance, affordable availability small-medium businesses. The PowerEdge 2500 addresses the needs of organizations by incorporating the latest
chipset technologies, high availability features and an easy-to-service chassis. This general purpose server also
and exceptional expandability in a
supports up to two Intel® Pentium® III processors with a 133MHz front side bus and includes seven I/O slots to
highly serviceable chassis. provide room for additional functionality and future expansion.
One of the key features of the PowerEdge 2500 is the ServerWorks® High-End SuperLite (HE-SL) chipset that
supports tri-peer PCI architecture. This enables the server to support three separate bus segments, giving you the
flexibility to segment your high performance PCI cards on two high-speed 64-bit/66MHz busses and lower
performance PCI cards on slower busses for enhanced performance. This architecture also reduces the risk for
system latency associated with bus saturation.
With two-way memory interleaving capabilities, the HE-SL chipset can support twice the peak memory bandwidth
of the previous generation of Serverworks LE-based servers. The PowerEdge 2500 supports set combining, a
chipset feature that sees four same-sized DIMMs as one unit to reduce latency penalties. By incorporating six
DIMM slots, the server ensures two slots are still available for future memory additions even when you take
advantage of set combining.
Availability
The embedded PERC3/Di RAID controller option on the PowerEdge 2500 provides exceptional availability and
makes this system one of the more competitive values in the industry. This embedded high-performance Ultra3
(U160) SCSI solution includes dual RAID channels to help ensure that at least one channel is available at all times.
It also supports write-back caching with a battery backup to protect the cache memory’s content in the event of a
power outage.
The PowerEdge 2500 helps to ensure maximum uptime through availability features such as Error Correction Code
memory and redundant AC power. Additionally, the hot-plug hard drives and hot-plug and redundant fans allow
you to replace components quickly without shutting down the system. The server also includes clustering
capabilities for high fault tolerance.
Easy to Service
Tool-less components and the chassis design enable easy serviceability, whether accessing the server in a rack or
as a stand-alone tower. Because tools are not needed to remove the side-panel cover, access to system
components is quick and easy. The hard drives and hot-plug power are front loading and equally easy to access
by simply opening the hinged front bezel.
The PowerEdge 2500 interior also incorporates tool-less installation and serviceablity. Flip lock retainers secure
I/O cards to the PCI expansion slots, while drives and other media snap easily in place. All peripheral devices,
power supplies, fans, hard drives and memory do not require tools.
More Storage Options

In addition to offering up to 584GB of internal hard disk storage, the PowerEdge 2500 also gives organizations a
choice in configuring their storage capabilities. You have the option of Dell’s flexible and affordable PowerVault
external SCSI storage or external fibre channel storage. The fibre channel storage system gives you maximum
PowerEdge 2500 storage capacity into the terabyte range along with many data-protecting features.

Dell PowerEdge
4600 Server
Incorporating the latest in high Performance

The Dell PowerEdge 4600 offers new, cutting-edge technologies providing exceptional levels of performance for
performance technologies, an
memory-intensive, high bandwidth applications including network infrastructure, collaborative data backup and
enhanced set of availability recovery, research, security and streaming media. With up to two Intel® Xeon™ processors, it delivers core speeds
features* and a high level of as fast as 2.2GHz with a 400MHz front side bus.
scalability, the Dell™ PowerEdge™ Furthermore, the PowerEdge 4600 is the first Dell platform to utilize the ServerWorks® Grand Champion High
4600 introduces a new level of End (GC-HE) chipset that raises the bar for high speed memory access and performance. The PowerEdge 4600
implementation of the chipset provides an incredible 3.2GB/s of memory bandwidth and up to 3.4GB/s of throughput
functionality to the dual-processor
on a five-bus-segment architecture. The chipset also accommodates up to twelve registered DDR (double data rate)
mid-range server market. DIMMs with capacities up to 1GB and four-way interleaved memory architecture for a performance advantage
particularly important in high-end graphic applications environments.
The PowerEdge 4600 also incorporates PCI eXtended (PCI-X) technology, the next generation local I/O standard
that provides high bandwidth and dedicated hardware interfaces between internal chips and peripheral cards that
can result in an overall reduction of system latency time.
High Availability and Data Protection

Designed to meet the needs of customers who require high levels of availability and data protection, the
PowerEdge 4600 offers the latest in high availability features. A key differentiator of the PowerEdge 4600 is the
embedded PERC3/Di RAID controller, a high-performance Ultra3 (160MB/s) SCSI RAID solution that provides dual
RAID channels and supports write-back caching with a battery backup to protect the cache memory’s content in
the event of a power outage. It also features redundant cooling and redundant power supply options in addition
to hot-plug hard drives and hot-plug PCI-X slots for optimum uptime.
The GC-HE chipset contributes several key high availability features to the PowerEdge 4600. In addition to ECC
(Error Correcting Code) memory, the chipset supports ServerWorks Enterprise Chipkill™ technology that helps preserve
customer data and maintain system availability above what ECC can provide. The spare memory bank is an optional
feature that allows customers to designate one memory bank, or four DIMMs, as a spare and the remaining two
banks, or eight DIMMs, as actual system memory. When a pre-defined ECC error threshold is reached, the spare
memory bank copies the data from the faulty bank while the system is running. This maintains server availability
and memory reliability without service intervention. The DIMM(s) in the faulty bank that exceeded the error threshold
can be replaced at the customer's convenience during a scheduled shutdown.
Scalability, Manageability and Serviceability

The PowerEdge 4600 provides both enhanced scalability for internal storage, memory and network bandwidth as
well as enhanced flexibility to configure and manage data.* As a result, customers have an easy-to-use system that
can grow readily with their needs. With 10 hard drives, the server delivers up to 730GB of internal storage capacity,
and the PowerEdge 4600’s seven PCI slots offer room for additional functionality and expansion.
The PowerEdge 4600 offers Dell OpenManage™ with a streamlined, wizard-driven installation for simple management
from the very beginning. Built-in remote management includes full in-service or out-of-service access to the system,
and the completely redesigned 6U chassis is built for data centers, remote offices and networked environments.

in-line with desktop systems, you simply cannot go wrong with the Dell PowerEdge 500SC.
Low Price, High Quality

Embedded features, like video and a high-performance Intel® PRO/100+ Network Interface Card (NIC), allow Dell
to offer the PowerEdge 500SC for prices comparable to desktop systems. Additionally, this system has been fully
tested for reliability and has successfully completed the rigorous quality tests required of all Dell servers.
Flexible Performance
To provide affordable performance, the PowerEdge 500SC has a dual ATA-100 Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE)
controller that delivers speeds up to 100MB/s. While the speed is comparable to a SCSI system, ATA-100 costs
less so you save more. For processing power, you may choose either an Intel Pentium® III processor for larger tasks
or an Intel Celeron™ processor for smaller workloads. For optimal performance, the PowerEdge 500SC now features
a SCSI option. This add-in PCI card delivers Ultra3 (UI60) SCSI reliability to the highly affordable PowerEdge 500SC.

incredible investment protection. 60 SDLT cartridges. As a result, you can create a powerful configuration that offers a maximum compressed storage
capacity of up to 14.4TB1 (LTO) or 13.2TB (SDLT).
High Performance Automated Backups

To help meet escalating demands for data protection and disaster recovery, the PowerVault 136T offers an automated
solution for both Local Area Network (LAN) and Storage Area Network (SAN) environments. By automating LAN
and SAN-based backups, the PowerVault 136T provides the flexibility to back up and restore data at high
performance speeds.
The PowerVault 136T also allows you to keep pace with shrinking backup windows. With the ability to scale up
to six LTO or SDLT tape drives, the tape library can reach backup speeds as high as 648GB1/hr with LTO drives or
480GB/hr with SDLT drives.
Furthermore, the tape library is available in a rack-mountable or a stand-alone model to meet a wide variety of needs.
And the 14U form factor can include an embedded 2Gb/s fibre channel router for high performance SAN backups.
Simplified Manageability
The PowerVault 136T Tape Library allows you to easily manage the backup process from anywhere. With the
embedded remote management card, you can access and monitor the library with a Web browser. This card
enables you to perform remote diagnostics, update library drives and library controller firmware, retrieve Service
Action Code (SAC) errors, and perform pick and place functions. Library, drive and mailbox activity can also be managed
locally with an easy-to-use Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panel.
Additionally, with the tape library’s mailbox feature, you can import and export tape cartridges while backup jobs
are in progress. Consequently, you do not have to re-inventory all tape cartridges in the library and backup jobs run
more efficiently.
Investment Protection
The PowerVault 136T provides excellent investment protection by incorporating easily into your environment and
offering a variety of options. For example, you can move from an automated LAN-based backup solution to a SAN-based
system simply by adding the 2Gb/s fibre channel router. In addition, the PowerVault 136T can be ordered
with one tape drive and later scaled up to six drives as your backup environment grows. And because the
tape library is designed to tolerate 1,000,000 mean swaps before failure, its reliability and longevity help protect
your investment.
The PowerVault 136T tape library is a powerful automated backup solution with the flexibility and performance
to suit your unique environment.

helping to lower your total cost of ownership. Through a no-single-point-of-failure architecture, patented data
integrity features and remote diagnostics, a SAN will help provide constant access to vital data. In the event of
failure, recovery helps get information online, which can improve your competitive edge.
With highly centralized management features for simplified administration as well as tested and certified
heterogeneous interoperability for investment protection, a Dell/EMC SAN solution can help keep your costs in
check.
Dell/EMC SAN components give you the power of choice.

Featuring powerful Dell/EMC products, a Dell/EMC SAN solution can give you incredible flexibility to meet
your configuration and connectivity requirements. And it is designed to support your organization as those
requirements change. Its scalable infrastructure allows you to add storage online, or dynamically reconfigure
and reallocate storage allowing you to choose what works for you and scale as your business grows. For
example, you can start small with a project-based SAN for Microsoft® Exchange or SQL, or deploy an
advanced SAN with disaster recovery options.

space-conscious format.
You can build as you grow by adding up to seven PowerVault 224F units behind a single PowerVault 660F subsystem.
And because the PowerVault 224F is the PowerVault 660F disk enclosure without RAID controllers, you can simply
upgrade by adding RAID modules. Ideal for protecting your investment, these enclosures deliver the same
high performance and exceptional manageability as the PowerVault 660F.
Additionally, the PowerVault 660F/224F provides exceptional performance for the price, delivering data transfer
speeds of 165MB/s and 15,000 I/Os per second. Coupled with the Dell direct business model and world-renowned
customer service, the PowerVault 660F/224F represents outstanding value in fibre channel storage.
Rack-Dense Scalability
Offering scalability in an incredibly rack dense form factor, the PowerVault 660F/224F enables you to quickly
respond to the demand for increased capacity. With 14 fibre channel drives, it can store more than a terabyte of data
in a 3U enclosure, and it can store more than 8TB in approximately five square feet of front panel space.
The modular architecture of the PowerVault 660F/224F allows you to cost-efficiently add storage as you need it.
You can start with a minimally configured storage array with one drive and build onto it as your needs change.
In addition, with the Dell Fibre Disk RAID Controller (DFDRC) featured on the PowerVault 660F, you can scale
performance by adding controllers or scale capacity by adding up to 112 disks behind one unit. You can also scale
both simultaneously by adding storage expansion units with single or dual active RAID controllers.
Availability
The PowerVault 660F/224F disk array is designed with reliability in mind making it ideal for applications that requires
maximum uptime. Both the PowerVault 660F and the PowerVault 224F can be ordered with redundant, hot-plug
power supplies and cooling modules to help increase availability.
Furthermore, by deploying the PowerVault 660F/224F in a cluster configuration, you can potentially reduce downtime.
And one of the inherent benefits of a fibre channel solution is it supports several fault-tolerant features such as
combined dual-looping and dual-ported drives that help implement complete I/O redundancy with no single point
of failure.
The PowerVault 660F/224F fibre channel array packs exceptional performance, value, and availability into a rack-dense
format with configuration flexibility.

checksum provides a mechanism to help protect against data corruption, even after unexpected events occur. Data
parity coherence is designed to protect against the possible inaccuracies that can be created during power outages
and disk failures. And the powerful data scrubbing feature continuously reads blocks of data to help ensure your
data remains in excellent condition.
The Dell/EMC FC5300 storage solution also extends availability protection outside the array with Application
Transparent Failover™ software. Through the software, users have continuous access to information, even in the event
of a failure in one of the data paths between the host and the Dell/EMC FC5300 storage system.
Flexible Deployment Model

The flexible deployment model of the Dell/EMC FC5300 fibre channel solution enables you to respond quickly
to changing requirements while protecting storage investments. It can be directly attached to single or multiple
heterogeneous hosts with a variety of operating systems, or it can be implemented in a SAN environment. So you
can deploy an initial direct-attach configuration and eventually migrate to a SAN as your business needs change.
Dell/EMC storage solutions make keeping up with growth easy. As capacity requirements increase, you can add
storage without interrupting service. With storage capacity up to 1.8TB, the Dell/EMC FC5300 storage system can
scale to meet your organization’s specific requirements.
Simplified Management
The Dell/EMC FC5300 storage solution is designed for simplified management so that you can enjoy increased
systems administration staff productivity and reduced overall storage management costs. The robust Navisphere®
storage management software suite enables administrators to easily configure, monitor and tune systems
throughout the organization from a single management console.
And Dell Storage System Remote Monitoring, a standard feature of the Dell/EMC FC5300 storage solution, helps protect
operations by detecting hardware or software problems as they occur. If your storage environment demands
cost-effective scalability, incredible data integrity and high availability, the Dell/EMC FC5300 is the perfect fit.

Flexible and Intuitive Discovery, Event Filtering and Proactive Alerts

Dell OpenManage is a comprehensive standards-based solution for managing systems distributed throughout
the enterprise. It monitors and manages Dell systems, using a browser-based user interface, providing system
discovery, event logging and alerting. Why use standards? Standards provide the infrastructure for
communicating between and among your systems. Dell OpenManage is built on standards that provide a full
and complete discovery of systems in the environment with:
• Desktop management interface (DMI) agents

• Common information model (CIM) agents
• Simple network management protocol (SNMP) agents.
OpenManage also provides complete event management including logging and filtering events based on
user defined criteria, and actions based on filtered events. The proactive event notification includes
alphanumeric paging and e-mail, and the ability to launch applications based on events.

Centralized Inventory and Asset Information
Using the OpenManage™ tree structure to navigate to any system on the network, you can instantly access
a summary of system-level information, including processor family and version, memory size and configuration,
BIOS information, asset and service tags, operating system information, and NIC types and addresses. Most
of the system summary information is read automatically from the hardware instrumentation.
System asset information is also available and includes data such as purchase cost, date of installation, PO
number, cost center, extended warranty information, departmental data, depreciation data and more.
The ability to compile inventory data for a server or a group on the network, into a report for printing or
filing, can be extremely useful. OpenManage features an inventory report function that enables you to
choose the asset(s) for the server or group of interest and print, or export the report to a file for use in
another application.
Complete Array Management

In addition to monitoring and managing Dell systems, OpenManage includes integrated storage management:
• Auto-detection of storage components
• Event capture and logging from all storage components
• Propagation of storage status up through server status icons
Dell OpenManage array management enables you to configure and manage local and remote storage
devices attached to a server while the server is online and continuing to process requests. It obtains data
from the storage devices and the logical volumes contained on those devices. The array management tool
displays storage configuration in both a physical and logical view. The physical view shows the physical
connections between the storage devices. The logical view shows a logical representation of your storage.
The array management tool provides a single console for array and volume configuration, from which you
can do the following:
• Create and configure virtual disks (RAID arrays)
• Manage RAID and non-RAID devices
• Create partitions and volumes
• Format disks and create file systems
• Assign drive letters
Today's storage management tools used for configuring and managing storage subsystems can require the
user to have a great deal of knowledge about RAID technology. To lighten this requirement, OpenManage
contains RAID Policies that provide a storage configuration method that is application-based. RAID policies
automate your storage configuration based on which application is being installed.

Dell Remote Assistant Card
Using both a Dell Remote Assistant Card (DRAC) and The DRAC provides ultimate remote server management capabilities through a new browser interface. You

the graphics screen as well as sending the keyboard and mouse input to the remote server.
This way the user gets full control over the remote server and can perform the same administrative tasks on
the server that it could do locally.
When the server is dead, the DRAC offers a remote server recovery solution through dedicated
hardware and software. The DRAC addresses dead server situations, allowing the user from a remote
location to diagnose and restart the server.
DRAC benefits when the server is operational:
• Manage servers in multiple locations from a remote console
• Manage servers by redirecting the console output to a remote console
• Perform an orderly shutdown of the server to do maintenance tasks
• Setup the server remotely and run configuration utilities
• Obtain system information remotely, including system name, model, status, BIOS, service tag, etc.
• Remain operational after a power failure by using the onboard battery backup
DRAC benefits when the server is down:
• Diagnose a server failure and restart the server
• Reset and cycle the server power from a remote location
• Access the server's internal logs to check the possible cause of a failure
• Alert the administrator when the server detects an error

a very inexpensive way to achieve full RAID functionality.
PERC3/DCL (Dual Channel Light)

The PERC3/DCL is a light version of the PERC3/DC. Available on PowerEdge 1400 and 1550 servers, it is a
dual channel 64-bit, 66MHz card with 64MB RAM cache that supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50. It is a
PCI card that is fully hot-plug compliant, and can handle two internal, two external, or one internal-one
external connection simultaneously. The main differences between this and the PERC3/DC are the amount
of RAM and the lack of a cache back-up battery.

PERC3/DC (Dual Channel)
The PERC3/DC is a dual channel 64-bit, 66MHz PCI RAID card. With a full 128MB RAM for cache and an
integrated back-up battery, it can be unplugged and moved to another machine while preserving all buffered
information up to 72 hours*** after a server power failure. Fully hot-plug compliant, it supports RAID levels
0, 1, 5, 10 and 50 and will be aggressively priced to offer strong value to Dell customers. It can support the
same mixing of internal and external channels as the PERC3/DCL.
PERC3/QC (Quad Channel)

The top of the PERC3 line, the PERC3/QC is a four channel 64-bit, 66MHz PCI RAID card. It has a single
128MB RAM cache DIMM, includes the same back-up battery functionality as the PERC3/DC card and
supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50. It can support up to two internal channels with the balance (up to
four total) running external RAID connections.
CERC ATA100/4CH
Using ATA100 technology, the CERC ATA100/4CH controller introduces a new RAID technology to the Dell
PowerEdge family of servers. With maximum burst rates of 100MB/second/channel, this new card enables
high performance, value-priced RAID solutions.

and facilitates the proper airflow for cooling the installed systems without the need for additional fans.
Dell Rack Mounting Kits – Datacenter managers have more important things to spend time and energy on
than the physical installation of their new server and storage equipment. With this in mind, Dell has developed
an installation kit consisting of the new RapidRail™ mounting arms and tool-less cable management arms.
Both attach easily and quickly to either Dell rack enclosures or all Dell rack-optimized systems to reduce the
time and effort involved in getting new systems into their racks. Captive thumbscrews and self-locking
brackets eliminate the need for tools, and the rails lock in the fully extended installation positions to keep
them in place while inserting the component into them. Velcro straps on the cable management arms make
bundling the system cables as painless as possible, and the folding arm design helps to keep them from
becoming entangled while moving the server between extension positions. Together they make the arduous
tack of physical server and storage component installation a much easier process.

Dell 1U Flat Panel Monitor – Redesigned in November of 2000, the Dell 1U Flat Panel Monitor provides
the ability to mount a system operators control station directly into a Dell rack while saving valuable space
for the actual server and storage components. Taking up half the space as previous products, it includes a
14" LCD flat panel monitor, specially designed keyboard/trackball combination, attached power transformer,
and built-in wrist pad. With a pair of standard PS/2 connectors and SVGA video output, it is fully compatible
with the Dell 1U Rack Mounting Kit for quick and painless installations.
Dell Console Switches – To facilitate the management of multiple servers by a single or dual management
station, Dell offers the 1 x 8 and 2 x 16 Dell Console Switches. Manufactured to Dell specifications by
Avocent™, they allow the single or dual point control of up to 256 separate servers. Included with each is a
specially designed graphical user interface that operates independent of any system it controls. This allows
for system status operation of any server regardless of the current operational state. Taking up only 1U of
rack space, these switches are a vital part of the overall server management system. Providing constant
power to the rack from multiple sources and protecting the installed components from power spikes is a vital
rack system function. To help accomplish this, Dell offers a flexible Power Distribution Unit, Dual Power Grid
switch, and a variety of Uninterruptible Power Supplies.

Infrastructure
Computing

Dell is an e-commerce pioneer. Since first transacting business on Dell.com in 1996, Dell has continued to
be an industry leader in e-business. Dell has used this experience in e-commerce to develop a business-critical,
three-tier infrastructure (see Figure 1), comprised of hundreds of servers and managing millions of hits per
day. With each tier optimized for specific functions, this multi-tier infrastructure provides high performance
with its cost-effective, efficient design.
E-business applications tend to be highly integrated with each other and with core infrastructure software
and network components. Integrating e-business applications into a company’s mainstream business
operations requires creating an online business-computing model. At the highest level, business-computing
applications can be categorized into three different types that create a model for all business computing
functions: E-business Applications, Standard Applications and Core Infrastructure Applications. These
functions build on top of Dell Infrastructure Computing hardware platforms.

Dell Infrastructure Computing Platform – Dell provides an end-to-end Infrastructure Computing product
line. Dell server and storage products serve as industry-standard building blocks for deploying a scalable,
and highly available computing infrastructure.
E-Business Infrastructure Applications – E-Business Infrastructure Applications are the newest to
emerge from the software industry. These applications tend to be highly segmented and specialized,
offering an array of new software, products and technologies. E-business applications support new
paradigms of computing capabilities and services to employees, customers and suppliers.
As the newest layer in the software application hierarchy, innovation and deployment expertise with these
applications can offer significant competitive advantages.
Dell’s deployment of online Web stores, order management, e-procurement, and e-supply chain solutions
have created a significant competitive advantage for its business.
Standard Infrastructure Application – The functions of these applications run the day-to-day
office-computing environment and include e-mail, project management, database repositories and Web site
management are but a few examples of standard infrastructure applications. In the past, large internal
teams of system integrators and IT staff were required to load, deploy and support this class of applications.
Today, these applications are mature standardized deployments at most customer sites. Dell’s own internal
use, customer use and engineering research and development work result in Best Practice configuration,
integration and deployment expertise directly available to Dell customers.
Core Infrastructure Applications – These applications include file/print, networking, communications,
storage, backup/recovery and other core networking computing operations. These applications under go
extensive research, engineering development and testing by Dell to assure that the base hardware and
software foundation components are well-integrated, reliable, scalable, available and able to serve the
needs of higher-level applications. Dell’s ISO 9002 compliant factories can directly install many of these core
infrastructure applications for customers before shipment. This saves customers the time and expense of
independent validation testing, system preparation and application load times. Dell factory installation
allows IT staffs to focus on other activities, or it can be used as a jump start to speed deployment.

different solution to achieve those needs. PowerEdge™ Appliance servers were designed to be cost effective
and efficient, targeted to maximize the performance of your IP related, front-end functions. PowerEdge
Appliance servers are used to build the front-end tier (cache, load balancing and web servers) of your
internet infrastructure where IP routing and processing of static content is more common. PowerEdge servers
and PowerVault™ storage, through their redundancy and internal system scalability, are ideally suited to meet
the transactional, dynamic content needs of the application and database server functions. Through the use
of Dell PowerEdge Appliance, PowerEdge and PowerVault solutions, you can build a cost effective, efficient
and performance based computing infrastructure to meet the changing needs of your organization.
