List of Dell PowerEdge Servers


is a server line by Dell, following the naming convention for other Dell products: the PowerVault and the PowerConnect.
Below is an overview of current and former servers within Dell's PowerEdge product line. Different models are or were available as towers, 19-inch racks or blades. In the current naming scheme, towers are designated by T, racks by R, and blades by M. The 19" rack-servers come in different physical heights expressed in rack units or U. Most modern servers are either 1U or 2U high while in the past the 4U was more common.

Model naming

Over the years, many different types of PowerEdge servers have been introduced and there was wide variety of product and family codes used within the PowerEdge name.

Itanium servers

The Dell Itanium-based servers were introduced before this new naming-convention was introduced and were only available as rack servers.

New naming conventions

;Three digits
Since the introduction of the [|Generation 10] servers in 2007 Dell has adopted a standardized method for naming their servers; the name of each server is now represented by a letter followed by 3 digits. The letter indicates the type of server: R indicates a 19" rack-mountable server, M indicates a blade server, whilst T indicates a stand-alone server.
This letter is then followed by three digits.
For example: The Dell PowerEdge M610 is a two-socket blade server of the 11th generation using an Intel CPU. Whereas the R605 is a two-socket, 10th generation AMD-based rack-server.
;Four digits
For four-digit naming convention:
For example: The Dell PowerEdge R6415 model is a rack, mid-range, 14th generation, single CPU socket system with AMD Processor.

Blade servers

Since Generation 10 there are models for the M1000e enclosure. The blade-servers in [|Generation 8] and [|Generation 9] are using another enclosure that is not compatible with the current M1000e system. In form-factor there are two models: half-height and full-height.
In an enclosure you can fit 8 full or 16 half-height blades. Each server has two or four on-board NIC's and two additional Mezzanine card-slots for additional I/O options: 1 Gb or 10 Gb Ethernet cards, Fibre Channel HBA's or InfiniBand slots. Apart from USB connectors a blade-server doesn't offer direct connections: all I/O goes via the midplane of the enclosure.

Generation 12

In March 2012 Dell introduced their 12th generation servers based on Intel Xeon. There are two basic lines: 620 and 720. On the 720 line, Dell currently offers two rack-model servers: the Poweredge R720 and the R720XD — where the latter offers the option to extend the system to up to 26 internal disks.
The Poweredge 620 series offer models for rack, tower and a ½ height blade-server M620. A ½ height blade means that you can fit up to 16 of those servers in one M1000e enclosure. The M520 and M620 can also be used in the new PowerEdge VRTX system. The new M420 is 1/4 height, so 32 fit in a M1000e chassis but does require a special full height holder that fits 4 M420's in one full-height slot.
For the Generation 12 server-line the out of band server-management system iDRAC received a new version: iDRAC 7. iDRAC allows you to access the server-console via a separate ethernet connection allowing you to get access to the server even when there is no operating system or network connection available. It offers more or less the same functionality as a network-enabled KVM switch, but with some additional options.
