Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently asked questions
When should I choose XR8000 over a classic PowerEdge?
Choose XR8000 when the deployment site is outside a controlled data center — harsh temperature, dust, vibration, vehicle mounting or extended environmental envelope. For controlled data-center deployments, R660 or R760 is the right choice.
Why does 5G Open RAN certification matter?
Mobile operators require certified hardware for Open RAN deployments. XR8000 is certified and compatible with Intel FlexRAN, the canonical Open RAN software stack.
Why is the short-depth chassis (430 mm) important?
Short-depth installation fits in-store cabinets, retail back-office racks, factory-floor cabinets and vehicle installations where standard 750 mm-deep rack servers do not fit.
How does the modular sled work?
A single 2U chassis hosts 1U and 2U sleds in mixed configurations — different workloads on different sleds in a single physical platform.
AC or DC power?
Both — telecom central-office DC power and standard AC power are supported.
Warranty?
Three years ProSupport with optional ProSupport Plus 24/7 4-hour onsite SLA — particularly important for field deployments outside a controlled data center.
