PowerEdge R630 8SFF dual Xeon server
The Dell PowerEdge R630 fits 2.5‑inch drive bays in a 1U rack chassis and ships with two Xeon E5‑2698 v4 processors running at 2.2 GHz. Twenty cores per CPU and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory give dense compute for virtualisation clusters, database nodes or high‑performance computing workloads. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than eight front bays should look elsewhere.
Dual 495 W supplies with PERC H730 RAID
Redundant 495 W power supplies feed the system while the PERC H730 SAS controller manages up to eight SATA drives in hardware RAID. iDRAC8 Enterprise provides out‑of‑band monitoring and remote power control so administrators can track thermals and power draw without attaching a console. The integrated Intel I350/X540 network card delivers two 10 GbE and two 1 GbE ports for storage and management traffic.
Rail kit available on request
Sliding rails can be added at order time to simplify rack installation and service access. Firmware and BIOS are updated to the latest stable release before shipment and each unit undergoes a full burn‑in test. No drives are included; storage must be selected separately to match capacity and endurance requirements.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 2.5" drives into the 8SFF chassis and what step is commonly missed?
Slide each drive into a bay until the latch clicks; the step often missed is seating the latch fully so the PERC H730 SAS Controller detects the drive on the SATA interface.
What maintenance will the 2x 495W power supplies need over time?
The redundant 495W units are hot-swap; replace a failed module by pulling the handle and inserting the new one while the server stays running.
What thermal limit appears first when both Xeon E5-2698 v4 CPUs run at 2.2GHz continuously?
The 1U chassis airflow hits its cooling ceiling before the 20-core processors throttle, so sustained load is capped by the fan wall capacity.
