It would also accept non-ECC ram for budget concious users. I will not even try to explain what it does but if you are interested, you could read up following the link below.Īnd also with most workstations, it would take EEC Registered RAM. The Precision T3600 has RMT (Reliable Memory Technology) which maps out errors in the RAM and isolates the problematic areas. Users will just have to look up the manual to see what the error means. The Diagnostic LEDs are a series of 1 – 4 combination numbers that will indicate corresponding errors if found whilst booting up. These are cleverly masked away and you wouldn’t know it is there until it starts flickering. I do welcome the new design and is a pleasure to look at when taking a break.īooting up the machine, you will be greeted by a warm white glow emitting from the power button followed by the Diagnostic LEDs and HD indicator. It is not too big or intrusive either and compliments the work space. The overall design looks the part and means business. I believe the Precision models are intended to just get the ground up and started without much fuss. There are not many bloatware on the system and most of them installed is of use. Other than that, all is good and booted up as per usual.

Update: this has been resolved with Dell professionally with some pretty good discount back in my pocket. Dell has been called to look into and hopefully would be resolved soon. I cannot imagine if it was on a rainy day.Īnyway after inspection, there were some obvious scuff/dent which is minor and a broken rivet which holds the bottom and front plate of the chassis. The CPU was well packed but I still think it needs to be wrapped to keep elements out especially the obvious handle holes in the packaging. It is pretty hefty but carrying it around was easy, thanks to the designed handles at the front and back of the case.

With the addition of Dell Ultrasharp U2412M (24″) LED monitorįirst impression out of the box, it looks pretty sturdy with powdered black/grey coated on the casing. However due to budget constraints and not wanting to live on bake beans and living on the streets for the next couple of months, I have to be sensible in weighing performance/price. This is a single core Xeon E5 machine with variable options to choose from Quad, Six and Eight cores based on LGA 2011 socket. It was high time I replaced my aging Dell Mobile Precision M90 which served me well for the past 5 – 6 years. I have finally took delivery of the Dell T3600 Precision Workstation.
