Converged 5U chassis with dual M630 blades
The Dell VRTX combines a 5U rack enclosure with two M630 compute sleds, each fitted with an Intel E5-2680v4 14-core processor running at 2.4 GHz. Shared infrastructure includes twelve 20 TB 7.2K SAS drives, a single PERC S130 RAID controller, a 1 Gb switch module and four redundant 1600 W power supplies. Remote administration is handled by iDRAC8 Express and a single Chassis Management Controller.
Suited for dense virtualisation hosts
Organisations that need up to twelve 3.5-inch drive bays and two four-socket blades in one enclosure will match this configuration. Buyers who require a second RAID controller, 10 Gb switching or more than 128 GB of DDR4 memory should look at alternative platforms.
Dual 14-core CPUs and 128 GB DDR4 set the compute
Each M630 blade carries one E5-2680v4 with 35 MB cache, giving 28 cores total across the chassis. Memory is populated as eight 16 GB DDR4 modules per blade. This core count and memory capacity define the maximum consolidation ratio the system can sustain.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box and what must I buy separately?
The system ships with the VRTX chassis, two M630 blades, dual E5-2680v4 processors, 128GB DDR4 memory, twelve 20TB 7.2K SAS drives, a single S130 RAID controller, a 1GB switch module and four 1600W redundant power supplies. No optical drive is included.
Which capacity or version should I choose for the installed drives?
All twelve 3.5-inch bays are already populated with 20TB 7.2K SAS drives, providing a single high-capacity configuration; there are no alternative drive sizes or quantities to select.
What does the 2.4GHz 14-core figure mean once the server is running workloads?
Each blade carries one E5-2680v4 at 2.4GHz with 14 cores and 35MB cache, giving 28 cores total across the two blades for multi-threaded applications and virtualisation.
