Dell PowerEdge T320 tower server
The Dell PowerEdge T320 is a single-socket tower server built around an Intel Xeon E5-2420 six-core processor running at 1.9 GHz. It ships with 8 GB of DDR3 memory installed across six DIMM slots and a Dell PERC H710 RAID controller with 512 MB cache. Dual 495 W redundant power supplies are included for continuous operation.
Hot-plug drive bays and RAID flexibility
Eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays accept SATA or SAS drives, letting administrators swap storage without downtime. The H710 controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, enabling a range of redundancy and performance profiles from a single chassis.
Single-processor ceiling
Only one Xeon E5-2420 can be fitted, so the platform tops out at twelve virtual threads and a maximum of 192 GB DDR3. Buyers who need dual-socket scaling or higher core counts must look beyond this tower.

Questions about this item
How much DDR3 memory can I add to the six DIMM slots later?
The six DIMM slots support up to 192 GB total using 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB or 32 GB DDR3 modules at up to 1600 MT/s.
Which component hits its limit first during sustained heavy workloads?
The single Xeon E5-2420 six-core 1.9 GHz processor reaches full utilisation before the H710 controller or memory bandwidth saturate.
How loud and hot does the tower get with both 495 W power supplies running continuously?
Dual 495 W redundant supplies share the load, keeping fan speeds moderate; typical office ambient temperatures are handled without excessive noise.
