List of PowerEdge servers
View on Wikipedia

PowerEdge is a server line by Dell, following the naming convention for other Dell products: PowerVault (data storage) and PowerConnect (data transfer & switches).
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 (for modular).[1] 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
[edit]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
[edit]The Dell Itanium-based servers were introduced before this new naming-convention was introduced and were only available as rack servers.
New naming conventions
[edit]- 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.[2] The letter indicates the type of server: R (for Rack-mountable) indicates a 19″ rack-mountable server, M (for Modular) indicates a blade server, whilst T (for Tower) indicates a stand-alone server.[3]
This letter is then followed by three digits.
- The first digit refers to the number of sockets in the system: 1 to 3 for one socket, 4 to 7 for two sockets, and 8 or 9 for four sockets.
- The middle digit refers to the generation: 0 for Generation 10, 1 for Generation 11, and so on.
- The third digit indicates the make of the CPU: 0 for Intel or 5 for AMD.
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:
- The first digit after the letter indicates the class of the system, with 1–5 defaulting to iDRAC Basic and 6–9 defaulting to iDRAC Express.
- The second digit indicates the generation, with 0 for 10th generation, 1 for 11th generation and so on.
- The third digit indicates the number of CPU sockets, 1 for one socket and 2 for two sockets.
- The fourth digit indicates the make of the CPU, 0 for Intel and 5 for AMD.
For example: The Dell PowerEdge R6415 model is a rack, mid-range, 14th generation, single CPU socket system with AMD Processor.
Blade servers
[edit]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 (or a mix). 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
[edit]In March 2012 Dell introduced their 12th generation servers based on Intel Xeon. There are two basic lines: 620 and 720.[125] On the 720 line, Dell currently offers two rack-model servers: the Poweredge R720[126] and the R720XD[127] — 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.[125] 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 (=double) 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 (working) operating system or (normal) network connection available. It offers more or less the same functionality as a network-enabled KVM switch, but with some additional options.

[edit]List of PowerEdge servers
View on GrokipediaModel naming
Legacy naming
The legacy naming scheme for Dell PowerEdge servers, used from the early 1990s through the ninth generation in the mid-2000s, employed a four-digit alphanumeric code prefixed by "PowerEdge" to denote model identifiers without explicit letters for form factor or type.[2] This system reflected relative performance levels and evolutionary improvements, with the first digit indicating the server class (e.g., entry-level or high-end based on processing power and scalability), the second digit specifying the generation (1 through 9), the third digit generally signaling form factor (0 for tower, 5 for rack, though not always strictly applied), and the fourth digit denoting standalone (0) versus blade (5) configurations.[2] The overall numbering provided a rough gauge of power and features, with higher values typically corresponding to greater capability, such as support for more processors or advanced memory architectures. Early examples illustrate this approach: the PowerEdge 2100, a first-generation tower server introduced in 1996, targeted small business workloads with single or dual Pentium processors and up to 1 GB of memory. Similarly, the PowerEdge 4100, also first-generation and tower form factor from 1996, supported dual Pentium Pro processors at speeds up to 200 MHz, emphasizing departmental computing with hot-plug SCSI drives and up to 2 GB ECC memory. By the mid-1990s, models like the PowerEdge 4400 (fourth generation, rackmount, 1999) advanced to dual Intel Pentium III Xeon processors at up to 1 GHz, offering embedded RAID and Ultra3 SCSI for enterprise environments, with scalability to 8 GB of SDRAM.[4] Further evolution incorporated hints of architectural enhancements through numbering, as seen in the PowerEdge 6300 (third generation, rackmount convertible to tower, 1997), a four-processor system based on Pentium II Xeon chips with the Intel 450NX chipset, supporting up to 8 GB of ECC SDRAM and designed for symmetric multiprocessing workloads.[5] In the Xeon era, the PowerEdge 6800 (eighth generation, rackmount, 2004) represented high-end scalability with up to four dual-core Intel Xeon MP processors at 3.6 GHz, DDR-2 memory up to 64 GB, and features like memory mirroring for mission-critical applications. This scheme transitioned in the mid-2000s to a more structured format incorporating explicit prefixes like R for rack and generation indicators starting with the tenth generation.[2]Itanium naming
The Itanium-based PowerEdge servers utilized a distinct naming convention that diverged from the evolving x86 schemes, employing four-digit model numbers primarily in the 3xxx and 7xxx ranges to signify performance tiers and socket configurations, with lower numbers for compact dual-processor systems and higher numbers for scalable multi-processor setups.[2] These models were exclusively rack-mounted, reflecting their focus on enterprise data centers rather than towers or blades. Introduced in the early 2000s, these servers targeted high-end enterprise computing for 64-bit workloads, leveraging Intel's Itanium architecture for applications in scientific computing, databases, and large-scale simulations. The PowerEdge 7150, launched in 2001 as Dell's first Itanium system, was a 4U rack server supporting up to four first-generation Itanium processors (733 MHz or 800 MHz) with 2-4 MB L3 cache per CPU, up to 64 GB of PC100 SDRAM, and four hot-plug SCSI bays for redundancy.[6] It featured the Intel E8870 chipset and was optimized for 133 MHz front-side bus operations, enabling integration with enterprise operating systems like Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server for Itanium and early Linux variants such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux for IA-64.[7] Following the initial release, the PowerEdge 3250 arrived in 2003 as a more compact 2U rack option for dual-socket environments, accommodating up to two Itanium 2 processors (starting at 1.3 GHz with 6 MB L3 cache), up to 16 GB of DDR-200/266 SDRAM, and integrated RAID support via the Dell PERC controller.[8] This model shared form factor similarities with early x86 PowerEdge racks but emphasized Itanium-specific scalability for memory-intensive tasks. The lineup culminated with the PowerEdge 7250 in 2004, a 4U rack server capable of up to four Itanium 2 processors (1.5 GHz or higher with 6 MB cache), up to 32 GB of DDR SDRAM, eight PCI-X slots, and enhanced I/O for demanding Unix-like environments including SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for Itanium.[9] Dell phased out Itanium-based PowerEdge servers around 2005 amid declining adoption and Intel's shifting priorities, with the last models supporting operating systems like Windows Server 2003 for Itanium-based Systems before broader ecosystem support waned.[10]Current generation naming
The current generation naming convention for Dell PowerEdge servers, introduced with the 10th generation models in 2007, uses a systematic alphanumeric structure to denote form factor, chassis capacity, generation, and processor type, facilitating identification of server capabilities and compatibility.[2] The prefix indicates the primary form factor: R for rack-mountable servers, T for tower servers, M or MX for modular and blade servers, C for compute-optimized modular systems, F for flexible hybrid sleds, HS for cloud-optimized solutions, XE for high-performance computing workloads, and XR for industrial-grade servers.[2] Following the prefix, models typically feature three or four digits. In the three-digit format (e.g., R740), the first digit signifies chassis class and CPU socket count—1 to 3 for single-socket systems, 4 to 7 for dual-socket, 8 for two- or four-socket, and 9 for four-socket—while the second digit represents the generation (0 for 10th, 1 for 11th, up to 7 for 17th as of 2025), and the third digit hints at the processor vendor (0 for Intel, 5 for AMD).[2] The four-digit format (e.g., R6515), used primarily for certain AMD-based models, refines this: the first digit indicates iDRAC management level (1-5 for Basic, 6-9 for Express), the second is generation, the third denotes socket count (1 for single, 2 for dual), and the fourth specifies the processor (0 for Intel, 5 for AMD).[2] Generations align closely with underlying processor architectures, such as the 16th generation (second digit 6) supporting Intel Xeon Scalable 4th Generation or AMD EPYC 9004 Series processors, and the 17th generation (second digit 7) utilizing Intel Xeon 6 or AMD EPYC 9005 Series processors.[2] Representative examples include the PowerEdge R760, a 2U dual-socket rack server from the 16th generation with Intel processors, and the PowerEdge T560, its tower equivalent also in the 16th generation; for the 17th generation, the PowerEdge R770 serves as a 2U dual-socket rack model with Intel Xeon 6 support, while the PowerEdge R470 is a 1U single-socket rack variant.[2] An AMD example is the PowerEdge R6515, a 15th generation (second digit 5) 1U single-socket rack server.[2] Special suffixes further customize models for specific use cases: "xs" denotes extra storage optimization (e.g., R760xs), "xa" indicates accelerator- or GPU-heavy configurations for advanced computing (e.g., R760xa), "xd" or "xd2" signifies extended or high-density storage, and in modular series like MX, "c" marks compute sleds while "s" denotes storage sleds.[2] This scheme evolved from earlier ad-hoc numeric codes to provide clearer ties to hardware generations and form factors.[2] As of November 2025, the 17th generation is the latest in Dell's PowerEdge server lineup.[2]Blade and modular servers
M-series blades
The PowerEdge M-series blade servers are designed for high-density computing environments, primarily housed in the M1000e modular enclosure, which supports up to 16 half-height blades, 8 full-height blades, or a combination including quarter-height options for maximum scalability in data centers.[2] Introduced in 2007 alongside the 10th generation of PowerEdge servers, the M1000e chassis provides shared power, cooling, and networking resources across all installed blades, enabling efficient resource utilization and reduced cabling complexity compared to standalone rack servers.[2] Key features include up to six hot-pluggable power supplies (rated at 2360W or 2700W) with dynamic power supply engagement for optimized efficiency, nine N+1 redundant fans for advanced thermal management, and FlexAddress technology to maintain persistent network and storage identities during hardware changes.[11] Management is centralized through the redundant Chassis Management Controller (CMC), which integrates with individual blade iDRAC modules for remote monitoring, firmware updates, and power capping, allowing administrators to oversee the entire enclosure as a unified system.[11] The M1000e supports I/O fabrics via up to six modules for Ethernet, Fibre Channel, or InfiniBand connectivity, with each blade accessing dedicated ports for redundancy and high throughput.[11] These blades emphasize virtualization and workload consolidation, offering similar processor and memory capabilities to rack-mounted equivalents but in a form factor that halves space and power requirements per server.[2] The M-series evolved across generations, with the M1000e compatible from the 10th through 14th generations until the chassis entered end-of-sale in the late 2010s, though support extended into the 2020s for installed systems.[2] Below is a summary of key M-series blade models supported in the M1000e, grouped by generation, highlighting representative configurations for density and performance.| Generation | Model | Form Factor | Sockets | Key Characteristics |

FX-series blades
The PowerEdge FX-series blades represent Dell's converged infrastructure approach, combining compute, storage, and networking within a single enclosure to enhance efficiency in mid-sized data centers. Introduced in 2013, the FX2 enclosure forms the core of this architecture, providing a 2U rack-mountable platform that supports up to eight quarter-width or four half-width compute blades alongside two half-width storage sleds. This design integrates I/O fabric modules, such as the FN410S or FN410T, to enable high-bandwidth connectivity with up to 8:1 port aggregation, minimizing cabling while supporting PCIe 3.0 expansion.[15][16] Representative compute models include the FC630, a half-width blade from the 13th generation, equipped with dual Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 or v4 processors (up to 22 cores each), 24 DIMM slots for DDR4 memory, and front-access storage options of up to two 2.5-inch or eight 1.8-inch drives, optimized for demanding workloads like virtualization and databases.[17] The FC420, a low-profile quarter-width blade, offers single-socket Intel Xeon E5-2600 configurations in a denser form factor, ideal for high-density applications such as web serving.[18] These blades leverage the enclosure's shared power, cooling, and management via the Chassis Management Controller (CMC) for simplified operations. A distinctive feature is the converged fabric for storage integration, facilitated by PowerEdge FC storage blades like the FD332, which adds up to 16 small form-factor drives (HDD or SSD) per sled with dual RAID controllers, enabling low-latency direct-attached or software-defined storage solutions such as VMware vSAN.[16] Targeted at mid-sized data centers, this setup balances the density of blade systems with the flexibility of rack servers, reducing total cost of ownership through modular scalability.[15] The FX-series was phased out following the 14th generation, with sales ending around 2022, in favor of the MX-series for advanced modular capabilities.[19] It bridges traditional M-series blades and the more fabric-centric MX architecture by emphasizing enclosure-level convergence.[20]VRTX integrated systems
The PowerEdge VRTX is a modular blade server enclosure designed as an all-in-one solution for small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and branch offices, integrating compute, storage, networking, and management into a single compact chassis. Introduced in June 2013, it provides a simplified infrastructure that eliminates the need for external switches and storage arrays in smaller deployments, offering quiet operation suitable for office environments.[21][22] The VRTX enclosure measures 5U in rack form factor (or tower configuration), supporting up to four half-height blade servers alongside integrated shared storage of up to 25 x 2.5-inch or 12 x 3.5-inch hot-plug drives, enabling capacities reaching 48 TB. It includes a built-in Chassis Management Controller (CMC) for centralized management and an optional 1GbE switch module with 16 internal ports and 8 external ports, or Ethernet pass-through for external connectivity, reducing cabling complexity. Power efficiency is enhanced through redundant hot-plug power supplies and fans optimized for low noise, making it ideal for space-constrained locations without dedicated data center facilities.[22][2][23] Compatible blade models begin with the 12th-generation M520, which supports dual Intel Xeon E5-2400 v2 processors, followed by the 12th-generation M620 with Xeon E5-2600 v1/v2 processors, the 13th-generation M630 with Xeon E5-2600 v3 processors, and 14th-generation options like the M640, featuring Intel Xeon Scalable processors for enhanced performance in virtualization and database workloads. These blades share similarities with the broader M-series in form factor but are tailored for the VRTX's integrated design, supporting up to 3 TB of RAM across the chassis. The platform reached end-of-sale in 2022, though support for installed systems continues based on component availability.[2][22][24]MX-series modular blades
The PowerEdge MX-series modular blades, introduced by Dell Technologies in 2018, provide a scalable, software-defined infrastructure platform designed for modern data centers requiring flexibility and high-density computing.[25] This series centers on the MX7000 chassis, a 7U enclosure that supports up to eight front-accessible sleds for compute, storage, and networking, connected through a non-blocking, smart I/O fabric that eliminates traditional midplane constraints for enhanced adaptability.[25] The architecture enables elastic resource pooling, supporting diverse workloads from virtualization to emerging applications. Key compute sleds in the MX-series include the MX740c, a single-width, dual-socket blade from the 14th generation equipped with Intel Xeon Scalable processors, offering up to six NVMe, SAS, or SATA drives for balanced performance in dense environments.[2] The MX840c serves as a high-density option, featuring a double-width, four-socket configuration in the same generation, ideal for compute-intensive tasks with support for up to eight drives.[2] Subsequent models extend this lineage, with the MX750c (15th generation) and MX760c (16th generation) providing updated Intel Xeon support while maintaining backward compatibility within the MX7000 chassis.[2] Composability is a hallmark of the MX-series, facilitated by Dell OpenManage Enterprise Modular Edition, which allows IT administrators to dynamically compose and reconfigure resources across sleds via a unified interface for streamlined provisioning and management.[26] This capability supports advanced workloads such as AI, high-performance computing (HPC), and software-defined storage, leveraging features like 25GbE networking and NVMe connectivity for low-latency, high-throughput operations.[25] Storage integration is handled by the MX5016s sled, a full-width module accommodating up to 16 SAS drives, enabling shared, scale-out storage configurations that can reach 112 drives per chassis when fully populated.[25] As of 2025, the MX-series remains an active platform in Dell's portfolio, with the MX7000 enclosure continuing to host 14th through 16th generation sleds for ongoing enterprise deployments.[2]Rack and tower servers
Early systems
The Dell PowerEdge line began with tower servers in 1994, including the PowerEdge 2100 supporting Intel 486 processors for entry-level small business use. Early models like the PowerEdge 2000 offered x86 computing with up to 64 MB RAM and EIDE storage. Pre-10th generation servers (Dell Generations 1-9, 1994-2006) evolved to include rack designs. Key early rack servers: PowerEdge 4100 (1996) and 4200 (1997) with up to four Pentium Pro/II processors, hot-swappable SCSI, and RAID.[27][28] SMP systems like 6400 (1999, four Pentium III Xeon, 8 GB ECC SDRAM) and 7400 (2001, eight processors, 16 GB).[29] 1U density introduced with 1850 (2004, dual Xeon, 8 GB FB-DIMM) and 1950 (2006, 16 GB).[30][31] High-end 9000 series: 8450 (2003), 6900 (2005) with up to eight processors. The 2970 (2006, 2U, dual AMD Opteron, 32 GB DDR2) was the last pre-10th gen major model.[32] Generations 1-9 overview (per Dell):- Gen1 (1994): 2100, 4100, 6100 (Intel 486/Pentium).
