Tower Server for Single-CPU Workloads
The Dell PowerEdge T320 is a tower server system built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2420 six-core processor running at 1.9 GHz. It arrives with 24 GB of DDR3 memory installed across six DIMM slots and a Perc H710 RAID controller with 512 MB cache supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Two 495 W redundant power supplies and eight hot-plug 3.5-inch drive bays complete the chassis.
Suits Small Business and Home-Lab Use
This configuration fits small-business file, print or virtualisation tasks that run on one CPU and need up to 24 GB of RAM. It is not suited for workloads that require more than one processor, memory beyond 24 GB, or GPU compute acceleration. Buyers needing higher core counts, larger memory ceilings or additional PCIe bandwidth should look at larger platforms.
Maximum Installed Memory Is 24 GB
The server ships with 24 GB of DDR3 and the specification lists the maximum installed memory size as 24 GB, so no further DIMMs can be added without replacing existing modules. This fixed ceiling determines whether the system can handle your dataset or virtual-machine count before purchase.

Questions about this item
Will the 1.9 GHz Xeon E5-2420 work with my existing DDR3-1600 DIMMs in the six slots?
The six DIMM slots accept DDR3 up to 1600 MT/s; actual speed depends on the installed E5-2420 processor capability.
How can I verify the H710 RAID controller is functioning after installation?
During POST the H710 BIOS reports its 512 MB cache and lists detected drives; you can also enter the controller utility to confirm RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 arrays are healthy.
The unit ships with 2 x 495 W redundant power supplies — do I need to buy drive trays or rails separately?
No hard drives or trays are included; the eight 3.5" hot-plug bays require compatible SATA or SAS trays, and tower rails are not supplied.
