DELL PowerEdge T630 16SFF 2x Xeon E5-2640 v3 768GB DDR4 No Drive Rack Server

Rack server for virtualisation workloads

The DELL PowerEdge T630 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors running at 2.6GHz. It ships with 768GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and supports a maximum capacity of 1.5TB. The chassis provides sixteen 2.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H730 SAS controller for RAID arrays. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 with an Enterprise licence.

Check power and rack space before ordering

The unit measures 36 by 24 by 10 inches and weighs 40 units, so verify that your rack depth and weight allowance are sufficient. Dual 1100W power supplies are installed; confirm that your PDU connectors and circuit capacity match this draw. No drives are included, so plan the number and type of SATA or SAS disks required for your storage layout. A rail kit is available separately if your rack requires it.

Sustained load behaviour

Under continuous demand both Xeon processors share the 20MB cache per chip to maintain throughput across virtual machines or database instances. The 768GB DDR4 configuration reduces swap activity during prolonged jobs. The PERC H730 controller offloads parity calculations during extended rebuilds or heavy write streams. Dual power supplies and iDRAC8 monitoring keep the platform available through long operating periods.
