The Dell T310 is a tower-form server approximately 8.6 x 20.5 x17.5 inches. It is intended for use as a standalone server and not as a server rack or cabinet. The Dell T310 includes a dynamic, optimized thermal management system that monitors the temperature of the server's various internal regions. It also alters the speed and power draw of its fans, improving both cooling and acoustic management and reducing noise pollution from unnecessarily running fans. Doing so is excellent for small professional spaces where a loudly running fan may be a distraction. See the manufacturer site for details.
