Dell aims to add value to your business by including the features 
you need for your specific IT environment. Our goal is to deliver 
value through tailored solutions based on industry standards, 
as well as innovative design of our servers. For example, the 
PowerEdge R510 solution (8HDD option) supports up to 10 times 
the mailbox size while delivering equivalent performance and 
significantly less power usage than the legacy HP ProLiant DL385 
solution.

Purposeful Design
The PowerEdge R510 follows the 11th generation PowerEdge 
portfolio specifications and features the same system design 
commonality and reliability true to the entire portfolio. All 11th 
generation servers are designed to make the experience easier. 
We put all external ports, power supplies, LCD screens, and LED 
lights in the same location for familiar experience as well as easy 
installation and deployment. Robust, metal hard drive carriers 
and organized cabling are designed to help improve component 
access and airflow across the server. 
In addition, the R510 is also available with 4, 8, or 12 hard drive 
chassis options, providing choice of the design and feature set that 
is most appropriate for your IT environment.
Energy-Optimized Technology
The PowerEdge R510 incorporates Energy Smart design using 
logical component layout of the internal components which 
aids with airflow direction, helping to keep the server cool. The 
PowerEdge R510 solution uses up to 50 percent less power than 
the legacy HP ProLiant DL385 solution.

Simplified Systems Management
With the optional advanced embedded systems management 
capabilities of Lifecycle Controller, Dell provides comprehensive 
enterprise-class manageability already on the motherboard. 
Lifecycle Controller is delivered as part of the optional iDRAC 
Express or iDRAC Enterprise in the PowerEdge R510. It helps to 
simplify administrator tasks by performing a comprehensive set 
of provisioning functions such as system deployment, system 
updates, hardware configuration and diagnostics from a single 
intuitive interface called Unified Server Configurator (USC) in a 
pre-OS environment. This helps eliminate the need to use and 
maintain multiple pieces of disparate CD/DVD media.
Also part of the Dell OpenManage™ portfolio is the Dell 
Management Console which is included with every Dell server 
and provides IT administrators with a consolidated console view of 
their IT infrastructure.
Dell Services
Dell Services can help reduce IT complexity, lower costs, and 
eliminate inefficiencies by making IT and business solutions work 
harder for you. The Dell Services team takes a holistic view of your 
needs and designs solutions for your environment and business 
objectives while leveraging proven delivery methods, local talent, 
and in-depth domain knowledge for the lowest TCO.
