Entry rack server for SMB and edge sites
The Dell PowerEdge R260 is a 1U rack server built for small-business, near-edge and remote-office workloads. It ships without a processor or memory, letting you choose one Intel Xeon E-2400 or Pentium G7400 series CPU and up to 128 GB of DDR5 ECC UDIMMs across four slots.
Single-socket C262 platform with DDR5-only memory
The Intel C262 chipset supports exactly one processor and limits memory to unregistered ECC DDR5 DIMMs at up to 4400 MT/s. No other DDR generation fits, and the four slots cap total capacity at 128 GB, so larger memory footprints need a different platform.
Front-bay storage up to 46.08 TB in 2.5-inch
You can populate the front bays with up to six 2.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives for 46.08 TB, or two 3.5-inch cabled SAS or SATA drives for 32 TB. Mixed drive types or larger arrays are not supported in this chassis.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch drive configuration for the front bays?
The 3.5-inch option supports up to 2 drives with a 32TB maximum, while the 2.5-inch option supports up to 6 hot-plug drives with a 46.08TB maximum.
What does the 128GB maximum memory mean for daily workloads?
Four DDR5 slots accept unregistered ECC modules up to 4400 MT/s, giving ample headroom for virtualisation, databases and near-edge applications.
Which storage interfaces does the chassis support and what do they limit?
Both SAS and SATA are supported on the front bays; the backplane caps total capacity at 32TB for 3.5-inch or 46.08TB for 2.5-inch configurations.
