Dell 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.

Dell 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.

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.

Dell 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. One of the sound quality metrics in the Dell specification is prominence ratio of a tone, and this is listed in the table below. Noise ramp and descent at bootup.

Dell 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.

Dell 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.

Dell SAS 6/iR Integrated Controller Configuration Data FRU Integrated Mirroring NVSRAM Loading flash memory requires a vendor-provided firmware file and loader program which is executed by booting the system from a floppy or OS-based executable (DUPs, Unified Server Configurator) containing the firmware file and the loader. Storage adapters loaded with bad firmware will not provide storage controller behavior. Factory only. Not customer updatable.

Dell How is this memory write protected? How is the memory cleared? n/a AC cycle for BMC OS and reset/power off server for VGA frame buffer writes controlled by iDRAC embedded OS EPPID is not clearable iDRAC embedded OS control of the write protection. Not possible with any utilities or applications and iDRAC does not function as expected if corrupted/removed. Lifecycle log is clearable only in a factory environment.

Dell FRU IBUTTON Key EEPROM CPLD How is this memory write protected? How is the memory cleared? Protected. No iDRAC embedded firmware writes to this device. Theoretically, IPMI I2C Master write commands would flow through to overwrite this EEPROM. N/A - not in system clearable SHA1 encryption included. Storage Controller use only.
