Hardware Overview
Dell designed the PowerConnect 8100 Series for energy savings from the
power cord to the ports, starting with EEE-capable ports to reduce active and
passive port power consumption for all ports. In addition to redundant power
supplies that can operate efficiently in all modes, variable speed fans reduce
consumption by adjusting their speed for their environment through multiple
temperature monitors. Lastly, the PC8100 family includes Dell’s Lifetime
Limited Warranty with Basic Hardware Service (repair or replacement) for
life.
