workstation

The Dell Precision T7910 is a workstation featuring an EATX motherboard with Dual LGA2011-3 sockets. This server supports Xeon E5-2600 v3 in dual processor configurations and Xeon E5-1600 v3 in single processor configurations. If the BIOS revision is A12 or newer then it will also support dual Xeon E5-2600 v4's or a single Xeon E5-1600 v4. This workstation uses a C612 chipset. It features 16 DIMM slots and can accept DDR4 LRDIMMs up to 64GB/stick for a total of 1TB in a dual processor configuration or RDIMMs up to 32GB/stick or a total of 512GB in a dual processor configuration. With a single processor configuration that number is halved. This may eventually be increased to officially support 128GB LRDIMMs but that has not been confirmed yet.

The T7910 features 6 x16 width PCIe slots and one PCI slot. The top two PCIe slots are linked to processor 1 and the bottom 5 slots are linked to processor 0. This means that if you do not have a second processor in then the top PCIe slots will not be operational.

This workstation can house 4 hot swappable 3.5" drives in the front or up to 8 2.5" drives. The processor socket is square ILM if you are looking for a heatsink replacement.

DELL T7600 Workstation

The Dell Precision T7600 is a workstation featuring an EATX motherboard with dual LGA 2011 Sockets. These only currently support the E5-2600 first generation processors, but it has the same chipset as the T7610 which received support for the second generation processors so it seems they may soon get support if Dell puts out a BIOS update. The system has 16 DDR3 slots with support for up to 16GB RDIMMs or 32GB LRDIMMs. The T7610 received support for 64GB LRDIMMs so it seems that if the T7600 does get the update for the second generation E5 processors then the 64GB LRDIMM support may come with that update as well. The workstation features 4 hot-swappable bays that can easily accommodate either 3.5" or 2.5" drives of either SAS/SATA. The system comes standard with a PERC H310 RAID controller to handle the hardware RAID configuration.

The Precision T7600 has 5 PCIe slots available if you are only utilizing a one-processor configuration but adds two more PCIe slots if you add in a second processor. All slots are full-height, full-width, but the first and the third slot under the processors only operate at x4 speed instead of the full x16. The workstation features dual gigabit networking ports with Intel adapters: 82574L and 82579LM. The maximum capacity of a single processor configuration with RDIMMs is 128GB and with LRDIMMs 256GB. In a dual processor configuration, the maximum addressable capacity is 256GB with RDIMMs and 512GB with LRDIMMs.  Maximum single stick capacity is 16GB RDIMMs or 32GB LRDIMMs.

The Precision T7600 has a few known issues that have been addressed with BIOS updates:

Revision A07 fixed several major issues including:

- Non-bootable SAS drive/RAID when LSI 9265 is installed - Hang during POST when two K5000 cards are installed. 5. - RAID ONE BSOD issue.

Revision A04 Fixed an issue with the diagnostic LEDs
