Talk:List of PowerEdge servers

Article Rationale

[edit]

This article was created in response to the continuing discussions on the Dell PowerEdge talk pages about the June 2007 removal of the Model list from Dell PowerEdge page. It was removed then due to concerns of it being incomplete. However I believe this updated list is considerably more detailed and substatial and can replace the very uninformative model list in the current Dell PowerEdge article.

I will be submitting this page to be reviewed by the project computing in the hope of a grading and potential adoption within that project.

I've just realised this isn't actually a list :o. I'm rating it C class as it needs more prose. But the sourcing looks good. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 18:17, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]


"Generation x" - original research?

[edit]

I noticed the PowerEdge systems prior to the Pentium Pro based 2100 are all missing from this list. The PowerEdge systems based on the Intel 80486DX, P54, P54C, P54CQS, and P54CS all predate the 2100 listed as "Generation 1", so I'm unsure where the "Generation x" labeling in this list comes from. --Tothwolf (talk) 01:46, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

By the time of *9** for example, Dell had explicitly started calling them 'Generation 9', I'm afraid some of the others are backdataed from that info, so it's 'semi-original' research. Incidentally if you can point me at some links to the earlier ones I'll start to add the to the page :)--Flibble (talk) 13:44, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, that makes sense. Maybe the Socket 8 Pentium Pro and Slot 1 Pentium II systems could be considered the same generation since they are both 440FX? Did these share a similar chassis design? What I'm not sure of however, is if the 80486 and P54* should both be considered Generation 1? I would think the 80486 based systems would have been Generation 1 and the P54* Generation 2, but this means there are at least two other existing groups which would need to be combined. With the P54* based systems, there are at least 3-4 subgroups, and possibly as many as 6. With the 80486 systems, there appear to have only been 6 models; two different series (different chassis) and 3 different CPU options for each. I'm currently compiling a list of these earlier systems (information on Dell's site is very limited) but I've been able to build up a fairly complete list of the earlier models based on information from computer magazines of that time period. --Tothwolf (talk) 16:48, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I've added a preliminary table under Early systems but it still needs a lot of expansion. I'm not sure which sockets some of these systems used, but for the SP 51xx I can find out. --Tothwolf (talk) 02:04, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Debated on where to put this, Second digit being used for Generation seems to have been scraped by the end 2017. This is the current offered systems [1]

I see

  • Single Socket 1U -- R230, and R330
  • Dual Socket 1U -- R430, R440, R630, R640, and C4130
  • Dual Socket 2U -- R530, R730, R540, R730xd, R740 and R740xd
  • Quad Socket 2U -- R830
  • Quad Socket 3U -- R940
  • Quad Socket 4U -- R930

Generation 4 Servers Introduced During Generation 10!?

[edit]

According to the years of introduction, the Generation 4 servers were continuing to be introduced for years, and the last Generation 4 server (PowerEdge SC1435) was introduced the same year as the PowerEdge 860 and PowerEdge 2970 (both Generation 10). The PowerEdge 2970 Review mentioned in this article specifically references the PowerEdge SC1435.

How can this be? How can a Generation 4 server be introduced during Generation 10? Assuming that all the relevant information is present - there is no answer to this in this article. There should be.

(The reason this matters to me is I'm trying to determine servers to retire and keep and such - and this article would suggest the Generation 4 SC1435 is more powerful than systems up to six generations more recent!)  DavidDouthitt  (Talk) 17:08, 27 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The SC1435 is not a Generation 4 server. The naming convention that indicates the generation wasn't introduced until Generation 10, where an R300 would be a Rack, single socket (3), generation 10, Intel-based (0) machine. So the 4 in 1435 doesn't refer to 4th generation. Also, the article calls them 1435 SC, which is not how they are actually named. I have a bunch of old ones kicking about and they are called SC1425 or SC1435 etc. Notorious Biggles (talk) 17:29, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, the main PowerEdge article suggests that the naming convention did use the second of four digits to denote generation. However, there's no source for that. Maybe it's true and they consider the SC line to be separate from the main naming convention? Either way, the SC1425 and SC1435 are definitely not generation 4 servers - you can tell that just by looking at them. Notorious Biggles (talk) 17:35, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
From observation it seems that any server labelled 'SC' is out of the general generation ordering. I'll look into what the 'SC' servers are and split them into a separate table if need be. They do look to be a selection of lower-end servers than the mainline equivalents.Flibble (talk) 02:10, 14 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
They are described as 'Value' servers on lots of Dell literature, so I have split them apart from the main generation machines.Flibble (talk) 17:41, 14 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

R320 Suggested Correction

[edit]

Please correct the R320 Rack Server table showing CPU Type as "Xeon E5-1400" to instead show "Intel Pentium® processor 1400" according to the latest Dell Tech Spec — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ituma (talk • contribs) 19:55, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Missing models

[edit]

Dell C6220 II is missing from the list. --50.100.192.166 (talk) 14:03, 7 June 2016 (UTC)unsigned[reply]

The Dell FX2 and FX2S Chassis are missing from the list, as are the following FX2(S) compatible compute sleds:

  • PowerEdge FC830
  • PowerEdge FC630
  • PowerEdge FC430
  • PowerEdge FM120x4

The storage device compatible with the FX2(S) chassis system is also missing, though it may not belong here.


Poweredge T20, T30, T40 are missing. As a guess, they are entry level versions of the T120, T130 and T140. — Preceding comment added by Hank1230071224 (talk • contribs) 15:19, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
