- it’s designed
to exceed
your expectations.

Better. Faster. Smarter. The Workstation Superhero

It’s here. Our most powerful workstation delivers the multi-core processing punch you’ve been waiting for—with levels
of performance you’ve only dreamed about. Developed in close collaboration with hardware and software partners, the
next-generation Dell Precision T7400 workstation lets you create, design, render, and analyze, without compromise.
Designed to deliver groundbreaking performance, blistering speed and scalability for compute and graphics intensive
environments, the Dell Precision T7400 helps you power through the most complex tasks and complete projects even
faster and up to 50% quieter than its ground-breaking predecessor1
•N ext generation, 64-bit quad and dual-core Intel Xeon processors (with up to 1600MHz FSB operating with 800MHz
memory) can deliver performance gains over previous generation processors when running multi-threaded applications
or multiple applications concurrently.
•Q uad-channel memory architecture with up to 800MHZ fully buffered DIMMS delivers outstanding performance with
memory intensive applications (up to 38GB/s total memory bandwidth)
•M emory scalability up to 128GB1 (available in Q2 2008 with expected availability of 8GB FB DIMMs. Up to 64GB1 today
with fully buffered ECC DIMMs
• Dual native PCI-e Gen 2 graphics slots for outstanding graphics performance and cost effective quad monitor support
• Cutting edge 15K SAS (Serial-attached SCSI) hard disk storage delivers up to 30% higher performance than SATA 10K
drives2
• Innovative chassis designed for physical security, ease of access and exceptional expandability with support for up to
five hard disk drives

Outstanding Graphics Performance

Dell understands that exceptional graphics performance and high-end visualization capabilities are a requirement for
some complex applications. The Dell Precision T7400 offers a great selection of graphics options from entry 2D to top
end 3D OpenGL® solutions with up to 1.5GB of graphics memory.3

New Heights of Scalability

With up to 16 DIMM slots to expand memory capacity up to 128GB1(future availability) and 64GB1 today, and a chassis
designed for expandability, the Dell Precision T7400 provides a highly scalable architecture that enables you to manage
massive datasets with outstanding performance and reliability. Imagine having the freedom to work the way you’ve always
wanted. Now you can. If you’re ready to optimize efficiency and power usage with a platform that will scale to higher
performing, multi-core processors available today the Dell Precision T7400 is the ultimate choice. And with Independent
Software Vendor (ISV) application certification, you can be sure your applications will run efficiently on Dell Precision
workstations, today and tomorrow.

Peace of Mind Through ISV Application Certification

Dell partners with leading ISVs to certify system and application compatibility to ensure optimized performance in demanding
workstation environments. And, to assure access to the latest productivity enhancing technology solutions, Dell invests in the
workstation ISV community by providing the hardware platforms needed to further multi-threaded and 64-bit application
development. By maintaining strong relationships with ISV application developers, Dell engineers can provide ongoing
optimization and support, should you need it.

32Bit Windows Operating System. 2 Based on the PCMark 05 hard drive benchmark tests performed by Dell Labs in October 2007 on the Dell Precision 390. comparing the
performance of a 73GB 15K SAS drive vs. the 160GB SATA 10K drive . Actual performance will vary based on configuration, usage and manufacturing variability. 3 Significant system
memory may be used to support graphics, depending on system memory size and other factors. 4 GB means 1 billion bytes and TB equals 1 trillion bytes; actual capacity varies with
