The Dell R710 PowerEdge data center server racks up compute and memory in a tidy package, offering UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) as an option instead of BIOS to help with embedded system adminstration. Adding UEFI to physical systems could be a stepping stone toward more effective management of physical and virtual system resources.

- Front
This is the front view of the Dell R710 PowerEdge system in the rack with the bezel removed. - Top
Here is an elevated view of the Dell R710 PowerEdge. The simple access to the top and a tool-less chassis make field maintenance easy. - Top, No Cover
From the front, I've removed the heat shroud that normally covers the processors and memory. - Fans
The large fans can be individually replaced. - Power Supply
My system had dual, hot-swappable 870-watt power supplies. Lower-power options are also available. - BIOS
Here is the traditional BIOS start screen—the default startup method for the system. - UEFI
This screen shows UEFI as an optional method for initially booting the hardware system. - UEFI in Action
Shown is the startup screen of the UEFI-based Lifecycle controller embedded system management software. - Physical Security Configuration
Many functions in the embedded system mimic BIOS functions. - Making Choices
Here's an example of making configuration choices for system startup options. - Firmware
Here is where firmware management takes place for various hardware components. - OS Deployment
UEFI provides options to help ease the installation of various commercial operating systems. - Diagnostics
The embedded system management tool provides a number of system diagnostic tools. - Memory Test
Here you see that the memory test completed successfully.
