System Information
3.1
Overview
The Dell™ PowerEdge™ M910 is an innovative blade design that allows scaling from two to four
sockets (no single- or 3-socket support) based on a new generation of Intel four-socket enhanced
processors, RAM, and management while still taking advantage of the M1000e chassis architecture.
Along with the M1000e chassis, the PowerEdge M910 server leads the industry in high speed,
redundant IO throughput and power efficiency with more RAM slots in the 2-socket space.
