Naming conventions

Before the 10th generation, PowerEdge servers had four-digit designations:

  • 1st digit: Height in height units (tower systems: for horizontal installation)
  • 2nd digit: generation
  • 3rd digit: server type (5: rack server; 0: tower server)
  • 4th digit: 5: blade server ; 0: normal single server

From the 10th generation, the servers are named with a letter and three or four digits:

With three digits:

  • Letter: Type (form factor) of the server: C = cloud (for cloud applications) / M or MX = modular (blade server, etc., which must be mounted in a special housing) / R = rack server / T = tower server
  • 1st digit: Performance class: 1–3 = 1 CPU / 4–7 = 2 CPUs / 8 = 2 or 4 CPUs / 9 = 4 CPUs
  • 2nd digit: unit of the generation number (starting with 10th generation = 0)
  • 3rd digit: CPU manufacturer (0 = Intel; 5 = AMD)

Example: R710 is an 11th generation rack server with 2 CPUs from Intel; 2950 is a 2U high, 9th generation rack server

With four digits:

  • Letter: See three digits
  • 1st digit: system class. 1–5 with iDRAC BASIC, 6–9 with iDRAC Express
  • 2nd digit: Generation (0 = 10th generation, 1 = 11th generation etc.)
  • 3rd digit number of CPUs
  • 4th digit: CPU manufacturer (0 = Intel; 5 = AMD)
