managing and maintaining your systems. That is why the Dell
systems-management portfolio focuses on two core principles to
make your life easier: simplicity and cost-effectiveness.

the Unified Server Configurator (USC). This helps eliminate the
need to use and maintain multiple pieces of CD/DVD media
and helps get your server up and running fast.

responsibility for an entire server build.

leaves the factory.
•t Our operating system, application and software integration
testing and validation helps ensure that everything works
together right out of the box.
•t A focus on product longevity provides longer, fully supported
product lifecycles for better investment protection.
Efficient from the inside out
The PowerEdge R415 was designed to provide you with a
multitude of time- and energy-saving options, not only inside the
server, but outside as well.
On the outside of the PowerEdge R415 we have put all of the
external ports, power supplies and LED lights or LCD screens in the
same location as other PowerEdge servers for a familiar server-toserver usability and commonality, as well as for easy installation
and deployment.
Inside the server, we have Energy Smart technologies to help
you better manage power. This includes low-wattage processors,
support for low-voltage DIMMs, and efficient fans that spin in
accordance with server workload demands. Internal shrouding
