The Dell PowerEdge R470 is a 1U, single-socket rack server engineered for high-performance computing with optimal
power efficiency and balanced performance, driving cost savings and boosting data center productivity. Its advanced
design maximizes rack utilization by offering more cores in a single socket enabling better performance in a smaller
footprint while minimizing energy consumption. This makes it ideal for workloads like cloud scale web and app
microservices, data services, virtualization, and scale-out database
Max Performance:
Purpose-built for enterprise and scalable infrastructures, the PowerEdge R470 seamlessly integrates into existing
environments. Equipped with an Intel® Xeon® processor with E-cores that are tailored for energy efficiency and
performance-per-watt, offering both improved power efficiency and higher rack density. With GPU support, it
further enhances computational power while reducing overall operational costs, especially on energy consumption
impact.
Air-cooled at peak performance
The server is available in rear I/O hot aisle and front I/O cold aisle configurations, with the front I/O cold
aisle improving serviceability, reducing maintenance time, and enhancing overall efficiency, reliability, and
uptime. Dell’s Smart Power and Cooling Technology, optimized for air cooling, significantly reduces energy
consumption, delivering long-term operational savings and supporting sustainability goals
Cyber Resilient Architecture for Zero Trust IT environment & operations
Security is integrated into every phase of the PowerEdge lifecycle, including protected supply chain and
factoryto-site integrity assurance. The Silicon-based root of trust anchors end-to-end boot resilience while
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and role-based access controls safeguard trusted operations.
Intel Xeon 6th Gen
The Intel® Xeon® 6 series of processors offers both E-Core and P-Core processors. Mixing of CPUs
is not supported.

Intel Xeon 6 processor P-core R1S processors provide a higher number of PCIe lanes compared to standard Intel® Xeon
6 processor P-core processors.
Notes:
- Risers RC4, RC5, and RC7 support only R1S processors.
- Risers RC0, RC1, RC2, RC3, RC6, and RC8 support both R1S and standard processors.
- Riser F1c and riser R2t supports DPU cards.
