Server chassis and blade count

The Dell VRTX 5U rack server integrates two M630 blades within a shared chassis. It suits organisations consolidating compute and storage into a single enclosure for virtualisation or database workloads. Buyers needing more than two blades or a different form factor should look elsewhere.

Thermals noise and redundant power

Four 1600W redundant power supplies feed the chassis and blades, distributing load across modules to limit individual unit stress. Shared cooling fans serve both blades and twelve drive bays, so acoustic output rises with combined CPU and disk activity rather than with a single component.

Included controller switch and management

A single PERC S130 RAID controller manages the twelve 12TB 7.2K SAS drives, while a 1GB switch module provides internal blade connectivity. iDRAC8 Express gives remote console and firmware update access without an extra licence. No optical drive or additional RAID cards are supplied.

Questions about this item

How do I install the M630 blades into the VRTX chassis, and what step is often missed?

Slide each M630 blade into its bay until the latch clicks, then attach the CMC module and run the initial CMC configuration wizard before powering on the blades.

Which components will need replacement first during the server's lifespan?

The four 1600W redundant power supplies and the 12 SAS drives are the primary field-replaceable units; fans and the CMC module can also be swapped without downtime.

What performance limit appears first when the VRTX runs sustained workloads?

The single 1Gb switch module and S130 RAID controller typically saturate before the dual E5-2630v3 CPUs or 256GB DDR4 memory reach full utilisation.
