DELL PowerEdge R630 1U rack server dual Xeon E5-2620 V3 2.4GHz 32GB DDR4 H330

Dell PowerEdge R630 1U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R630 is a 1U rack server built around dual Intel Xeon E5-2620 V3 processors running at 2.4 GHz with six cores each. Thirty-two gigabytes of DDR4 memory are installed across the 24 available DIMM slots. A Dell PERC H330 RAID controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 for up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives. Two redundant 750 W power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management are included.

Suited to virtualisation hosts

This server fits workloads that need two-socket performance in a single rack unit with redundant power and hardware RAID. Buyers who require more than 32 GB of memory from day one should note the installed capacity matches the listed maximum in the supplied data. The Matrox G200 graphics and single 1 GbE daughter card limit use cases that need GPU acceleration or 10 GbE networking without adding optional cards.

Storage controller and drive bay count

The PERC H330 12 Gbps controller and eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays define how many drives can be attached and which RAID levels are available. No drives or trays are included, so the buyer must source compatible SAS or SATA media separately. The dedicated PERC slot leaves up to three PCIe 3.0 slots free for additional networking or storage adapters.
