Dell PowerEdge M1000e Modular Blade Enclosure Product Details Dell PowerEdge M1000e Modular Blade

DellTM PowerEdgeTM M1000e Fully Modular Blade Enclosure

The DellTM PowerEdgeTM M1000e Modular Blade Enclosure is a breakthrough in enterprise server architecture. Built from the ground up using energy smart technologies the M1000e is designed to combat datacenter sprawl and IT complexity. The M1000e delivers one of the most energy efficient, flexible, and manageable blade server product on the market. Flexible and scalable, the M1000e is designed to support future generations of blade technologies so your investment is protected for the future. The M1000e is optimised for use with Dell’s M600 and M605 blade servers.



Energy Efficiency That Can’t Be Beat

The M1000e is the most power efficient blade solution on the market, built on Dell’s energy smart technology. The M1000e can help customers to increase capacity, lower operating costs, and delivers better performance/watt than leading blade competitors. The M1000e enclosure takes advantage of thermal design efficiencies, such as ultra-efficient power supplies, dynamic power efficient fans with optimized airflow design to efficiently cool the chassis and enable better performance in a lower power envelope. Energy efficiency and performance/watt that HP and IBM can’t beat.

Dell blade servers deliver performance and efficiency without compromise. The PowerEdge M1000e with the M600performs up to 12% 1 better than the IBMBladeCenter H, delivers up to 25% 2 better performance/watt than both the HP BladeSystem c-Class 2 and consumes up to 19% 3 less power than HP BladeSystem c-Class, which can help customers to increase capacity and lower operating costs

Easy to Use, Powerful Management Tools

The M1000e helps reduce the cost and complexity of managing computing resources so you can focus on growing your business or managing your organisation.
  • Centralised management controllers provide redundant, secure access paths for IT administrators to manage multiple enclosures and blades from a single console making the M1000e one of the easiest blade solutions to manage.
  • Dynamic power management provides the capability to set high/low power thresholds to help ensure blades operate within your power envelope.
  • Real time reporting for enclosure and blade power consumption, and the ability to prioritise blade slots for power provide optimal control over power resources.
  • One of the only blade solutions with an integrated KVM switch, enabling easy set up and deployment, and seamless integration into an existing KVM infrastructure

FlexAddress, The Simple Low Cost Way To Limit Downtime

FlexAddress delivers persistent network and storage identities, equipping your datacenter to handle predictable or even unplanned changes – increase, upgrade, or remove servers without affecting the network. Dell’s patent pending FlexAddress technology allows any M-Series blade enclosure to lock the World Wide Name (WWN) of the Fibre Channel controller and Media Access Control (MAC) of the Ethernet and iSCSI controller into a blade slot, instead of to the blade’s hardware as was done in the past. By removing the network and storage identity from the server hardware, customers are now able to upgrade and replace components or the entire server without changing the identity on the network. FlexAddress can be implemented in four easy steps, just select the slots and fabrics you want FlexAddress to be enabled on and the Chassis Management Controller handles everything from there, no matter what I/O modules you choose. Simple efficient integration, Simplified IT at its best.

Chassis Enclosure
Form Factor: 10U modular enclosure holds up to sixteen half-height blade servers
440.5mm (17.34") H x 447.5mm (17.62")W x 753.6mm (29.67")D
Weight:
Empty Chassis only – 98lbs (44.5kg)
Chassis w/ all rear modules (IOMs, PSUs, CMCs, KVM) - 176lbs (79.8kg)
Max Fully loaded w/ blades and rear modules - 394lbs (178.7kg)


Power Supplies
3 (non-redundant) or 6 (redundant) 2360 watt hot plug power supplies

Based on Dell’s Energy Smart Technologies, the M1000e Power Supplies deliver greater levels of efficiency,
even at very low levels of utilisation
Redundant Power Supplies support 3+3 (AC redundancy), 3+1 (Power Supply Redundancy),
or 3 + 0 (non-redundant) modes
System supports new Dynamic Power Supply Engagement functionality, which (if enabled) puts lightly
loaded power supplies into standby mode, driving up the utilisation and thus the efficiency on the active supplies
Power Supplies Require 200+ volt AC input

Dell offers a wide range of Power Distribution options for the M1000e with 20A, 30A, 60A single phase,
or 30A three phase options
Cooling Fans
M1000e Chassis comes standard with 9 hot pluggable, redundant fan modules

Based on Energy Smart Technologies, M1000e fans are a breakthrough in power and cooling efficiency.
The fans deliver low power consumption, but also use next generation “low flow” technology 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
