Thus, a driver can directly access bits to control a device‘s power management. Generic features have defined enable and status bits, but the functionality is not fully visible to the OS. Dell provides ASL code to handle the details of generic features, allowing the OS to intelligently communicate with system- specific hardware.
This feature will work under Windows and ACPI OS that understand C states. Power Profile Processor/IMC 11G Servers will be the most energy smart servers that Dell support and PCH will ship. In addition to P,C and T states, BIOS will expose the chipset Power Profiles to the OS.

NOTE: The R310 is not compatible with any other Dell rails including previous generation rails, but it does use the same sliding rails as the R410 and uses the same static rails as the R310 & R410.
One key factor in selecting the proper rails is identifying the type of rack in which they will be installed. Both the sliding rails and the static rails support mounting in 19‖-wide, EIA-310-E compliant 4-post racks, but only the static rails, as the more generic or ―universal‖ solution, support mounting in 2-post (Telco) racks.

√ √ Requires the 1U Threaded Rack Adapter Brackets Kit (Dell PN 8Y19G). Note that screws are not included in the static rail kit due to the fact that threaded racks are offered with a variety of thread designations. Users must therefore provide their own screws when mounting the static rails in threaded or 2-post racks.
