The Dell PowerEdge T420 is a powerful and

reliable 2-socket tower server that delivers

performance and built-in capacity for

non-disruptive growth. The T420’s acoustical

profile allows it to fit unobtrusively into quiet

office environments and data centers alike.

An excellent fit for general-purpose small and

medium business workloads such as database,

file and print sharing, retail and email, the T420

also fulfills platform needs in small offices with

virtual desktop infrastructure. Hot pluggability

of key components, combined with leading

manageability, make it an excellent server for

branch offices and other remote sites that may

not have IT staffing. Consistent worldwide

support makes it highly appealing to multinational

businesses and organizations with remote offices.

A versatile workhorse

Featuring the extensive performance of two

Intel

Xeon

E5-2400 processors, and

complemented by substantial memory capacity

and broad I/O bandwidth, the T420 provides

high, balanced performance and built-in room for

growth. Its twelve DIMM slots and six PCI Express

(PCIe) slots provide memory density and wide I/O

bandwidth to support both memory-intensive

and data-intensive applications and databases.

Built-in capacity for up to eight 3.5-inch or

sixteen 2.5-inch hard drives accommodate

data storage as your business or organization

grows. These combined technology features are

necessary to support consolidated and virtualized

environments, a role in which the T420 also

shines.
To protect your virtualized workloads, the

PowerEdge T420 offers dual SD media making

your hypervisors redundant and failsafe. Other

reliability and availability features include

hot-plug hard drives, both hardware and software

RAID options, redundant fans and hot-plug power

supplies.

The PowerEdge portfolio

The PowerEdge family is engineered with the

right combination of features and performance

scalability to handle tough workloads for

businesses and organizations of all sizes.
The Dell OpenManage™ systems management

portfolio includes Integrated Dell Remote Access

Controller 7 (iDRAC7) with Lifecycle Controller.

This embedded feature helps IT administrators

manage Dell servers in physical, virtual, local and

remote environments, operating in-band or out-

of-band, with or without a systems management

software agent installed. OpenManage iDRAC

with Lifecycle Controller integrates and connects

to leading third-party systems management

solutions so you can maintain a single point of

control and capitalize on an existing systems

management investment. OpenManage simplifies

the lifecycle of deploying, updating, monitoring,

and maintaining Dell PowerEdge servers.
