Dell VRTX 5U rack server with dual M630 blades

This Dell VRTX system fits a 5U rack space and holds two M630 compute blades. Each blade runs dual Intel E5-2680v4 processors at 2.4 GHz with 14 cores and 35M cache. The chassis ships with 128 GB of DDR4 memory across eight 16 GB modules and twelve 12 TB 7.2K SAS drives installed.

1 Gb switch module and S130 controller set

Internal networking is handled by a VRTX 1GB switch module, so blade-to-blade and blade-to-uplink traffic tops out at one gigabit per second. The single PERC8-class S130 RAID controller manages all twelve drive bays without a dedicated cache module, limiting write performance on heavy random workloads.

Verify 5U rack depth and 1600 W power feed before

The chassis requires a rack deep enough for a 5U tower-form-factor enclosure and four 1600 W redundant power supplies fed from suitable circuits. Only eight PCIe slots are available — three full-height and five low-profile — so expansion cards must fit that mix. No optical drive bay is present.
