Dell PowerEdge T410Finally the Dell Poweredge T410 server delivered after the short delay caused by Typhoon in Mainland China.  It takes 6 working days from I ordered the server from Dell until delivered to my home.

 The server packed with very huge box, it's biggest branded server packing box I ever seen so far, my parents though I was ordered the air-conditioner.  The T410 server I ordered come with following items:

 

 

  • Intel Dual Core E5502 Xeon CPU 1.86GHz, 4M Cache
  • Broadcom NetXtreme II Dual-Port Gigabit Enthernet without TOE
  • 160GB SATA II Hard Drive x1
  • PERC 6/i Integrated Raid Card (support RAID0, 1, 5, 6, 10, and 50)
  • iDRAC6 Express
  • 4GB Memory (2x2GB), 1066MHz, ECC Dual Ranked UDIMMS
  • 16x DVD-ROM Drive
  • Power Supply, Non-Redundant, 525W

It also comes with 3 years (5x12) 4 hours onsite support service.  Inside box it only includes the Server unit, two power cords, and Dell OpenManager DVD with electronic documents.

For hard drive, I purchased six 500GB Western Digital RE3 SATA hard drive from local computer shop and do RAID50 (RAID5 + RAID0). The Dell 160GB SATA hard drive come with the server I will use it as external backup drive for my workstation.

Operating system I will install 64bit CentOS 5.3 Linux.  Tips for CentOS 5.3 installation and hardening will be discuss later in next articles.
