Table 1 summarizes the newest technologies used in the R620 rack server.

New technologies Detailed descriptions

Intel Xeon processor This new family of Intel processors has embedded PCIe lanes for improved I/O
E5-2600 product family performance. See the Processor section for details.

Intel C600 series chipset The Intel Platform Controller Hub (PCH) chip is implemented on the R620 server.
Certain models of the Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 product family support
1600MT/s DDR3 1600MT/s memory. The R620 supports two DIMMs per channel at 1600MT/s with
memory
these processors. See the Memory section for details.
This new memory option, load reduced DIMM (LRDIMM), is designed with a buffer
chip (or chips) to replace the register to help minimize loading. LRDIMMs can
LRDIMM
increase overall server system memory capacity and speed. See the Memory
section for more information.

Dell’s Select Network Adapter options allow you to customize your LAN port
Flexible LOM combinations from your choice of controller vendors. See the Networking and
PCIe section for details.
Next generation PERC The R620 supports the new PERC controller cards with improved functionality and
options faster performance. See the Storage section for details.

This new software RAID solution supports RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10; supports maximum
PERC S110 software of four hot-plug SATA hard drives or SATA solid-state drives. See the Storage
RAID Solution
section for details.
Dell Express Flash PCIe solid-state drives provide fast performance without
Express Flash drives requiring processor resources or capturing DRAM. The R620 supports up to two
Express Flash drives. See the Storage section for details.
The new embedded system management solution for Dell servers features
iDRAC7 with Lifecycle hardware and firmware inventory and alerting, in-depth memory alerting, faster
Controller performance, a dedicated gigabit port and many more features. See the Dell
OpenManage systems management section for details.
The R620 supports internal graphics processing units (GPUs) for extreme
Internal GPU support
computing power to solve HPC needs. See the Processor section for details.
DC power supply A new 1100W DC power supply option is available for the R620.

Advanced power The R620 supports advanced power monitoring and power capping tools that can
management help manage power consumption.
Dell has tested and validated an integrated data center solution that enables you
Fresh Air cooling to operate at higher temperatures or even chiller-less. See the Power, thermal, and
acoustics section for details.
The internal dual SD module enables Dell's unique Failsafe Virtualization
architecture, ensuring uptime by providing failover capability for embedded
Failsafe hypervisors ® ®
hypervisors, such as VMware vSphere ESXi™. See the Supported virtualization
section for details.
