Released in 2014, the Dell Precision T5810 is a single-socket tower workstation built for professionals in engineering, architecture, media and entertainment, finance and healthcare. It pairs one Intel Xeon processor with ECC memory, professional graphics and a tool-less, easy-to-service chassis, which makes it a dependable platform for CAD, 3D, video editing and other demanding desktop work.
Design and Build
The T5810 uses a mid-size tower chassis (16.3 x 6.8 x 18.5 in) that fits on or under a desk. The clutter-free, tool-less interior gives easy access to drives, memory and expansion cards, and the power supply slides out from the back without tools. Front and rear handles make the system easy to move, and an optional rail shelf kit allows rack mounting. The airflow design keeps components cool and quiet under sustained load.
Performance
The T5810 takes one Intel Xeon processor on the LGA2011-3 socket: the E5-1600 v3 family and select E5-2600 v3 models (Haswell-EP), plus E5-1600 v4 and E5-2600 v4 processors (Broadwell-EP) with up to 18 cores. Eight DIMM slots support up to 256GB of quad-channel DDR4 ECC registered memory on the Intel C612 chipset. ECC memory detects and corrects memory errors, which protects data integrity during long renders, simulations and other critical work.
Graphics
The T5810 supports two PCI Express x16 graphics cards with up to 300W of total graphics power (with the 685W power supply). It can be configured with NVIDIA Quadro or AMD FirePro professional graphics for 3D rendering, CAD, video editing and other graphics-intensive tasks. Display outputs come from the installed graphics card, and multi-monitor setups are supported.
Storage
The chassis holds up to three 3.5" or four 2.5" internal SATA, SAS or SSD drives (SAS drives need an add-in controller). The integrated Intel SATA controller supports software RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10, and optional MegaRAID controllers add hardware RAID. For faster storage, M.2 NVMe SSDs can be added on a PCIe adapter card.
Expandability
Expansion slots include two PCIe x16 Gen 3 slots for graphics, two more x16-size slots (wired x8 and x4), a PCIe x1 slot and a legacy 32-bit PCI slot, so there is room for network, storage, Thunderbolt and other add-in cards. The front panel has one external 5.25" bay and a slimline optical bay.
Connectivity and I/O
The T5810 has an integrated Intel Gigabit Ethernet port; a second Gigabit port or dual 10GbE can be added with a PCIe network card. The front panel offers one USB 3.0 and three USB 2.0 ports with microphone and headphone jacks; the rear has three USB 3.0 and three USB 2.0 ports, a serial port and two PS/2 ports. The system has no onboard video, so monitors connect to the ports on the graphics card (typically DisplayPort and DVI).
Software and Security
Dell Precision Optimizer, Dell's tuning utility for Precision workstations, adjusts system settings for the applications in use. For security, the T5810 includes a TPM 1.2 chip, a chassis intrusion switch, system and setup passwords, a Kensington lock slot, a padlock ring and a lockable power supply.
Energy Efficiency
Dell offered the T5810 in ENERGY STAR configurations with 80 PLUS Gold power supplies, and the model is EPEAT registered. A refurbished T5810 also keeps a working machine in service rather than sending it to recycling.
Conclusion
The Dell Precision T5810 combines a single Xeon E5 v3 or v4 processor, up to 256GB of ECC memory, professional graphics and a serviceable tool-less chassis. It suits engineers, designers and content creators who need reliable workstation performance and room to upgrade without the cost of a current-generation system.
