Flexible and Expandable The Dell PowerEdge 2900 server is built with flexibility in mind. You can choose from tower or 5U rack chassis options with hot-plug SAS or SATA hard drives and several optical devices and tape products, for up to 3.0TB of internal storage. The system also features six I/O slots. Because Dell Remote Access Card (DRAC) and PERC 5/i integrated controller utilize dedicated daughtercard slots, all six I/O slots are available for expandability. You have the option of adding up to four dual-embedded Gigabit Network Interface Cards (NICs) and two dual-channel storage interface devices for maximum growth potential. High Performance for Today...and Tomorrow Dell goes the distance to increase price/performance and performance-per-watt in its newest generation of servers. The latest 64-bit dual-core Intel®  Xeon®  processors deliver performance gains of up to 69% over the previous generation.   1066MHz FSB facilitates better speed. 64-bit memory addressability provides scalability for large memory footprint applications.   A TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE) helps deliver greater network throughput and efficiency by offloading the TCP/IP processing to a dedicated processor, freeing up the main system processor in web-based applications or when using iSCSI. Memory The new PowerEdge 9th Generation servers offer up to 48GB of fully-buffered DIMM memory, three times the memory capacity of the previous generation. This allows for simultaneous reads/writes of memory and can help improve performance in virtualized workloads. Storage Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS) hard drives deliver the next generation of SCSI performance and reliability for critical business applications, while SATA options provide greater value for systems that rely on external storage and fiber-channel storage. Peripherals PCI Express I/O expansion facilitates greater I/O throughput and support for high-bandwidth I/O peripherals such as Infiniband, 4Gb fiber channel and future 10Gb Ethernet. Availability Without Compromise Dell addresses the need for high availability in the new PowerEdge 9th Generation by providing hot-plug redundant power supplies and hard drives, plus multiple SAS RAID options - without sacrificing expandability, and including support for High Availability Clustering and deployment in SANs. Redundant NICs and redundant cooling fans help keep the servers running smoothly. Setting the Standard for Manageability SAS hard drive carriers and memory options are common across the entire line of PowerEdge 9th Generation servers. The PowerEdge 1950, 2900 and 2950 feature standardized drivers and BIOS.   All servers include an Integrated Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) 2.0 management controller (with SMASH Command Line Protocol), plus a DRAC 5 remote management card with continuous video and Active Directory integration for robust remote server management.
