Dell VRTX 5U rack server with two M630 blades
This 5U Dell VRTX chassis holds two PowerEdge M630 blades, each equipped with an Intel E5-2690v3 processor at 2.6GHz and twelve cores. The system ships with 256GB of DDR4 memory across sixteen 16GB modules and twelve 12TB 7.2K SAS drives. A single S130 RAID controller manages the array, while a 1Gb switch module and four 1600W redundant power supplies complete the package.
Suited for dense virtualisation
The twin 12-core CPUs and large memory pool handle multiple virtual machines or container clusters, and the twelve 3.5-inch bays filled with high-capacity SAS drives deliver ample nearline storage. Eight PCIe slots (three full-height, five low-profile) allow extra network or storage controllers. Buyers who need 10GbE or faster switching, a hardware RAID card with cache, or GPU-ready blades should look elsewhere because the included switch is 1Gb and the S130 is a software RAID controller.
The S130 software RAID controller is the deciding
It provides basic RAID levels without a dedicated cache or battery-backed write-back, so write performance and data protection depend on host CPU cycles. If the workload demands a hardware RAID accelerator with onboard memory, this server will not meet that requirement.

Questions sur cet article
What rack space and power circuits must I already have for this 5U server with four 1600W PSUs?
Reserve 5U of rack height and provision four separate power circuits rated for the 1600W redundant supplies.
Can the single 1GB switch module and dual 10GB X520 ports coexist with my existing 1GB and 10GB network gear?
Yes — the 1GB switch module handles management and blade traffic while each M630 blade presents two 10GB X520 ports for uplink to your current 10GB infrastructure.
How do I verify the PERC S130 RAID controller sees all twelve 12TB SAS drives after first boot?
Open the iDRAC8 Express web console, navigate to Storage, and confirm the S130 lists twelve 12TB 7.2K SAS drives in a healthy array.
