7 Power Lower overall system-level power draw is a result of Dell’s breakthrough system design. PowerEdge servers maximize performance per watt through a combination of power and cooling, energy efficient technologies, and tools. Additionally, PowerEdge servers have an extensive collection of sensors that automatically track thermal activity, which helps regulate temperature thereby reducing server noise and power consumption.
Feature Description Dell Fresh Air cooling With the thermal design and reliability of Dell products, you can have the capability to operate at excursion-based temperatures beyond the industry standard of 35°C (95°F) without impacting your availability model. This solution takes into account servers, networking, storage and other infrastructure. Find additional information at Dell.com/FreshAir.
8 Rack information Rack installation components such as rails are provided with the PowerEdge C5220 rack kit. The components consist of a static rail system; there is no support for a cable management arm. Rails The static rails allow for tool-less installation in 19-inch EIA-310-E compliant square or unthreaded round hole four-post racks. These include all Dell 42xx and 24xx racks. (Note: APC racks are also supported.
9 Operating systems and virtualization The Dell PowerEdge C5220 supports a wide range of industry standard operating systems and virtualization software.
10 Systems management Systems management for the PowerEdge C5220 is through third-party solutions only. There is no Dell OpenManage support for server management at this time. The throughput for the various ports is: Chassis port upstream is 1GbE Chassis port downstream to each server’s BMC is 10/100 BMC shared port on each server is 10/100 Each PowerEdge C5220 server features an onboard BMC along with the AST2050, which provides iKVM capability.
