DELL PowerEdge M630 rack server 2× E5-2630v3 2.4GHz 512GB 2× 800GB SAS SSD H730

Dense blade server for virtualised workloads

The Dell PowerEdge M630 is a rack-mount blade with two Intel E5-2630v3 processors running at 2.4GHz, each providing eight cores and 20MB cache. It ships with 512GB of DDR4 memory across sixteen 32GB PC4-2133 modules and two 800GB SAS SSDs on an H730 RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 Express.

Suits dense compute clusters.

This configuration targets environments that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact form factor, such as virtualisation hosts or in-memory databases. The chassis only accepts two 2.5-inch drives, so buyers who want more storage bays or additional PCIe cards beyond the two mezzanine slots should look at something else.

Mezzanine limit defines I/O ceiling

The system provides up to two PCIe 3.0 x8 mezzanine cards for networking or storage acceleration. That ceiling decides whether the blade can support the required 10GbE dual-port NDC or any extra adapters; if the workload demands more I/O lanes than two mezzanines allow, this server will not fit.
