2 New Technologies A number of new technologies have been incorporated into the PowerEdge R510 product, including: • • • • • • • 2.
Chipset 2.2.1 PCIe Generation 2 PCIe Gen2 provides the next generation of I/O bandwidth to the system. PCIe Gen2 doubles the signaling bit rate of each lane from 2.5 GT/s to 5 GT/s. 2.2.2 DDR3 Memory Technology Intel Xeon processor 5500 and 5600 series support new DDR3 memory technology, which replaces fully buffered DIMMs in the new Intel architecture. Native DDR3 memory capability improves memory access speed, lowers latency, and allows more memory capacity. 2.2.

4.3 Front Panel View and Features Figure 3. PowerEdge R510–4 HDD Configuration Figure 4.
Figure 5. PowerEdge R510–12 HDD Configuration 4.3.1 NMI Button The Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI) button can be accessed through a pin hole with a thin object (e.g., the end of a paperclip). Pressing this button results in a Non-Maskable Interrupt to the CPU, which halts all CPU operations. 4.3.2 System ID Button There are 2 System ID buttons—one on the front panel of all servers and one on the back panel of rack-dense and rackable tower servers.
The Power LED has two states: Power LED is OFF: System is not operating, regardless of AC present. (Other AUX powered subsystems may be operational with AC power present.) • Power LED is ON (Green): System is operating. One or more of the non-standby (Vaux) power rails are active. All PowerEdge servers include a green colored LED on the motherboard to indicate the presence of standby power (Vaux). This LED is in a visible location for service personnel.
This hierarchy dictates that connections that are lower in the hierarchy be disabled anytime a higher level connection is disabled. 4.3.6 DVD/CD If present, the DVD/CD drive has an eject mechanism and a green activity LED. The eject mechanism is functional with or without power. 4.3.7 Hard Drive Activity LED The PowerEdge R510 systems have a single (common) green hard drive activity LED that lights when the system is accessing data on the drive. These systems do not have Status LEDs. 4.3.

Non-redundant Power Supply Option on PowerEdge R510-8 and 12 Only redundant Power Supply Units (PSUs) have a LED indicator to show the power supply status.
Figure 11. Redundant PSU Status lights provide indications as follows: • • • • Not lit: AC power is not connected. Green: In standby mode, a green light indicates that a valid AC source is connected to the power supply and that 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. Amber: Indicates a problem with the power supply.

5 Power, Thermal, Acoustic 5.1 Power Supplies The 4-HDD configuration includes a 480W power supply. The 8- and 12-HDD configurations have a hot-plug redundant 1100W power supply. A hot-plug redundant 750W option is available for the 8- and 12-HDD configurations. Power is soft-switched, allowing power cycling using a switch on the front of the system enclosure or using software control (through server management functions). The power system is compatible with industry standards, such as ACPI and Server 2000.

Benefiting from a smart cooling thermal control algorithm, the PowerEdge R510 can keep both high performance and good acoustics across a wide range of ambient temperatures (10 °C – 35 °C). In addition, the PowerEdge R510 provides cooling efficiency that saves energy.

5.5 Energy Star Compliance See the ENERGY STAR Compliance results on Dell.com. 5.6 Acoustics The acoustical design of the PowerEdge R510 reflects the following: • • • Adherence to Dell’s high sound quality standards. Sound quality is different from sound power level and sound pressure level in that it describes how humans respond to annoyances in sound, like whistles, hums, etc.

6 Processors R510 can operate in either single-processor or dual-processor mode. However, since the memory controller is embedded in the processor, when only one processor is installed in the system, it supports 4 DIMMs, with minimum memory of 1GB and maximum memory of 64GB (based on the 16GB module). When two processors are installed in the system, it supports 8 DIMMs, min. 2GB and max 128GB (based on the 16GB module). Table 13.
7 Memory 7.1 Overview Please carefully review this entire section Features of the PowerEdge R510 memory include: • • • • • • 3 channels per processor Support for registered ECC DDR3 DIMMs or Unbuffered ECC DDDR3 DIMMs. DDR3 speeds of 800/1066/1333 supported (Max memory clock speed support is pending on the processors used. Refer to table in Section 8C.
8 Chipset 8.1 Overview Introduction of the new Intel Xeon processor 5600 series includes a stepping revision of the Intel 5520 and 5500 chipset, which is required to enable the full 5600 series feature set. Dell servers shipped with the new chipset revision have the symbol II in the System Revision Field visible through OpenManage™ Server Administrator (OMSA) and the iDRAC GUI. They are physically marked with a 12 x 6mm rectangular label containing the symbol II.
8.2.
9 BIOS 9.1 Overview A flash resides on the SPI bus for BIOS and configuration storage. A 32 Mbit device is used for this function. This permits the BIOS to be upgraded in the field via a bootable device rather than by physically removing an EEPROM. The System BIOS, Video BIOS, server management, and PCI configuration are housed in this flash. The following table clarifies what is and is not supported by the PowerEdge R510 BIOS code. Table 14.
AC recovery staggering Power-Up Power Inventory (PSU, CPU, and DIMM mismatch checking) Support for Multiple power profiles Static Maximum Performance Mode OS Control(DBS) Active Power Controller Custom 9.2 ACPI BIOS is compliant with ACPI version 2.0a. ACPI features consist of two types: configuration features and power management features. The features supported on this system are described below. 9.2.1 Configuration • PCI Routing Table (_PRT).
Table 15. Summary of Power Management Features Feature Type Enable/Status/ Ctrl bit location Description ACPI Mode Switch Fixed ICH-10 The OS uses the SCI_EN bit in ICH to switch from legacy mode to ACPI mode. Sleep States Fixed ICH-10 Supported states: S0 (Working), S4-OS (Hibernation in Windows OS), and S5 (Soft-off). S1 (also called standby or suspend) and S3 are not supported. Power Button Fixed ICH-10 In ACPI mode, OS has control of the power button.

9.3 UEFI and ACPI For PowerEdge R510 systems, the UEFI layer does not participate in generation of the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) table. The ACPI table is generated by the BIOS and UEFI exposes the ACPI table as an EFI configuration table entry. See the UEFI 2.1 specification for the details on EFI configuration table and the ACPI_TABLE_GUID. 9.
