Dell M630 dual-socket rack server
The Dell PowerEdge M630 is a rack-mount server system built around two Intel E5-2680v3 processors, each running at 2.5 GHz with 12 cores. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 memory across 16 DIMM modules and includes a PERC H730 storage controller. The unit is supplied in new condition and includes iDRAC8 Express for remote management.
Suited to memory-heavy workloads
This configuration suits workloads that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity, such as virtualisation hosts or in-memory databases. The two 2.5-inch drive bays limit internal storage to a pair of SATA SSDs, so buyers who need more than two internal drives should look elsewhere. Workloads requiring GPU acceleration or additional PCIe expansion beyond two mezzanine slots are not a fit.
512 GB DDR4 installed memory
The decisive specification is the 512 GB of DDR4 memory installed across 16 modules of 32 GB each at PC4-2133 speed. This capacity determines whether the server can hold the working set for memory-intensive applications without swapping. The dual 120 GB SATA SSDs and H730 controller provide the boot and caching layer, but the memory size is the primary sizing factor.

Questions about this item
Which mezzanine cards are needed to add I/O to the two PCIe 3.0 x8 slots?
The M630 accepts up to two PCIe 3.0 x8 mezzanine cards; choose the cards that match the network or storage fabric you plan to run.
Can the installed E5-2680v3 processors run with the existing 512 GB DDR4 2133 memory?
Yes, the two 12-core E5-2680v3 CPUs and the 16×32 GB DDR4 2133 modules are already installed and tested together.
How do I confirm the H730 RAID controller sees both 120 GB SATA SSDs after power-on?
During boot, enter the H730 configuration utility (Ctrl+R) and verify that both 120 GB SATA SSDs appear as physical disks in the array.
