DELL PowerEdge R630 8SFF 2x Xeon E5-2698 v3 768GB DDR4 No Drive

Dell PowerEdge R630 8SFF dual Xeon server

This Dell PowerEdge R630 fits eight 2.5-inch drive bays in a 1U rack chassis. Two Intel Xeon E5-2698 v3 processors run at 2.3 GHz with sixteen cores each and 40 MB cache. The system ships with 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730 SAS RAID controller. No drives are installed, so storage capacity is chosen by the buyer.

Suits virtualisation clusters

The sixteen cores per socket and large DDR4 pool handle dense virtual-machine workloads and in-memory databases. Buyers who need more than 1.5 TB of RAM, more than two sockets or a newer processor generation should evaluate other platforms. The integrated graphics and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management cover basic console and out-of-band tasks without a discrete GPU.

Maximum memory capacity of 1.5 TB DDR4

The R630 supports up to 1.5 TB of DDR4 across its DIMM slots, so the installed 768 GB leaves room for future expansion. This ceiling determines whether the chassis can grow with the workload or if a larger platform is required.
