Power Efficiency
One of the main features of blade servers is enhanced power efficiency. The PowerEdge™ M710
achieves higher power efficiency by implementing the following features:
User-configurable power options through the M1000e Chassis Management Controller (CMC)
(see M1000e documentation on
Support.Dell.com
for further details)
Improved power budgeting
Voltage Regulator (VR) efficiency improvements
Processor VR dynamic phase shedding
Switching regulators instead of linear regulators
Closed loop thermal throttling
DDR3 and LV-DDR3 memory
Memory VR static phase shedding
BIOS Power/Performance options page
Active Power Controller (BIOS-based processor P-state manager)
Ability to power down or throttle memory
Ability to disable a processor core
Ability to turn off embedded NICs or PCIe lanes when not being used
Option to run PCIe at Gen1 speeds instead of Gen2
Energy Smart components at the M1000e chassis level to selectively enable more computing
performance with less power consumption.
