Dell PowerEdge R710 2U Rack Server Xeon X5670 2.93GHz 48GB DDR3 No HDD | Wty
Dell PowerEdge R710 2U Rack Server
A proven 2U rack server featuring an Intel Xeon X5670 6-core processor, 48GB DDR3 ECC RAM, and six 3.5" hot-swap drive bays (no HDDs included) — a flexible platform for virtualisation, lab builds, or storage server projects. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.
Key Benefits
- Intel Xeon X5670 6-core — 2.93GHz Westmere-EP, solid foundation for virtualisation workloads
- 48GB DDR3 ECC RAM — substantial memory for running multiple VMs or memory-intensive applications
- 6x 3.5" hot-swap bays — empty and ready for your own drives; supports SAS and SATA HDDs
- iDRAC6 management — out-of-band remote management for BIOS, power, and hardware health
- Redundant PSU — dual power supply for continuous operation if one PSU fails
- 12-month warranty — fully tested and warranted by Reboot IT, Melbourne since 2001
Performance in Use
The Dell PowerEdge R710 remains a highly capable platform for virtualisation, homelab, and enterprise lab environments. The Xeon X5670 delivers 6 physical cores with HyperThreading (12 logical threads) at 2.93GHz — a solid foundation for VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, or Proxmox with a moderate VM workload. With 48GB of DDR3 ECC RAM, there's meaningful memory headroom for running multiple concurrent virtual machines.
The six 3.5" hot-swap bays ship empty — ideal for buyers who want to specify their own drive configuration, repurpose existing drives, or build a storage server from scratch. The bays accept standard SAS and SATA drives, making the R710 a popular choice as a DIY NAS or SAN base platform.
iDRAC6 provides out-of-band management access via a dedicated NIC port — allowing KVM console access, BIOS configuration, power cycling, and hardware health monitoring without physical presence at the rack.
