Dell PowerEdge M1000e Blade Chassis

Tech Specs

• Base:
  PowerEdge M1000e
• Form Factor:
  10U modular enclosure holds up to 8 full-height, 16 half-height, or 32 quarter-height blade servers
• Dimensions:
  H: 44.0cm (17.3”)
  W: 44.7cm (17.6”)
  D: 75.4cm (29.7”)
• Weight:
  Empty chassis only: 98lb
  Chassis w/ rear modules (IOMs, PSUs, CMCs, KVM): 176lb
  Max fully loaded w/ blades and rear modules: 394lb
• Power Supplies:
  M1000e chassis supports up to six 3000W high-efficiency power supplies, 2700W high-efficiency power supplies or up to six -48V DC 2700W power supplies. Based on Dell’s Energy Smart technologies, the M1000e power supplies deliver greater levels of efficiency, even at low levels of utilization.
  
  Supported power supply configurations include:
  3+3 and 2+2 (grid redundancy)
  2+1, 3+1, 4+2, and 5+1 (power supply redundancy)
  2+0 and 3+0 (non-redundant mode)
  
  The M1000e chassis supports dynamic power supply engagement (DPSE) mode, which if enabled, puts lightly loaded power supplies into standby mode, driving up the utilization and the efficiency of the active supplies. Dell supports either 110–120V or 208–240V AC power supply input and supports a wide range of power distribution options. Dell recommends 208–240V AC for all production environments.
• Cooling Fans:
  M1000e chassis comes standard with nine hot-pluggable, redundant fan modules:
  Based on Dell Energy Smart Technologies, M1000e fans are a breakthrough in power and cooling efficiency.
  The fans deliver low power consumption, but also use next generation fan technologies to ensure the lowest possible amount of fresh air is consumed to cool the enclosure.
• Input Device:
  Front control panel with interactive graphical LCD:
  Supports initial configuration wizard
  Local server blade, enclosure, and module information and troubleshooting
  Two USB keyboard/mouse connections and one video connection (requires the optional Avocent® iKVM switch to enable these ports) for local front “crash cart” console connections that can be switched between blades.
• Enclosure I/O Modules:
  iDRAC9
  Up to six total blade I/O modules for three fully redundant fabrics that take advantage of a fully passive midplane that can scale up to 8.4Tbps with current technologies featuring 1/10Gb Ethernet to servers, 40Gb Ethernet to top-of-rack switches, Fibre channel 8Gb, and InfiniBand QDR/FDR10/FDR. Dell’s blade Ethernet devices also have FlexIO technology, providing on-demand uplink scalability and investment protection unrivaled in the blade server market.
