DELL PowerEdge R630 8SFF 2x Xeon E5-2683 v4 2.1GHz 384GB DDR4 No Drive

Dense compute platform

The Dell PowerEdge R630 is a 1U rack server populated with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors running at 2.1GHz and 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays connect to a PERC H730 SAS controller that supports SATA drives. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 Enterprise, and dual 495W power supplies provide redundancy. The system ships without storage drives, allowing the buyer to select capacity and type.

Virtualisation and database hosts

This configuration suits workloads that benefit from high core counts and large memory footprints, such as virtualisation clusters, in-memory databases or batch compute jobs. The sixteen cores per processor and 384GB of RAM give ample headroom for dense VM deployments. Buyers who need GPU acceleration should look elsewhere, as the chassis provides only integrated graphics. Organisations requiring pre-installed drives or a different drive-count must specify those options before ordering.

Memory ceiling decides fit

The platform accepts up to 1.5TB of DDR4 across twenty-four DIMM slots, so the installed 384GB leaves substantial room for growth. If the target application will exceed that 1.5TB limit, a different server generation is required. The PERC H730 controller and eight-bay chassis define the storage ceiling, while the dual 10GbE and dual 1GbE network interfaces set the connectivity baseline.
