Detailed descriptions

Intel Xeon

processor E5-2600

or E5-2600 v2

product families

Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 and E5-2600 v2 product families have advanced features

that deliver exceptional performance and value. See the Processors section for details.

Intel C600 series

chipset

The R720 and R720xd servers use the Intel Platform Controller Hub (PCH) chip.

1866MT/s DDR3

memory

Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 processors support 1866MT/s memory. The R720 and R720xd

support two DIMMs per channel at 1866MT/s with these processors. See the Memory

section for details.

LRDIMM

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 increase

overall server system memory capacity and speed. See the Memory section for more

information.

Flexible LOM

Dell’s Select Network Adapter options allow you to customize your LAN port

combinations from your choice of controller vendors. See the Networking and PCIe

section for details.

Next-generation

PERC options

and faster performance. See the Storage section for details.

PERC S110 software

RAID solution

This new software RAID solution supports RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 and supports a maximum

of four hot-plug SATA hard disk drives (HDD) or solid-state drives (SSD). See the Storage

section for details.

Express Flash drives

Dell Express Flash PCIe SSDs provide fast performance without requiring processor

resources or capturing DRAM. The R720 supports up to four Express Flash drives. The

R720xd does not support Express Flash drives.

iDRAC7 with

Lifecycle Controller

The new embedded system management solution for Dell servers features hardware

and firmware inventory and alerting, in-depth memory alerting, faster performance, a

dedicated gigabit port and many more features. See the Dell OpenManage systems

management section for details.

Internal GPU

support

The R720 supports internal graphics processing units (GPUs) for extreme computing

power to solve high performance computing (HPC) needs. The R720xd does not

support internal GPUs. See the Processors section for details.

Advanced power

management

The R720 and R720xd support advanced power monitoring and power capping tools

that can help manage power consumption.
