Dell VRTX 5U converged server

This 5U rack platform combines compute, storage and networking in a single chassis. Two M630 blades each carry dual 2.4 GHz eight-core processors and 128 GB of DDR4 memory. Twelve 20 TB 7.2K SAS drives provide high-capacity bulk storage behind a single S130 controller. Four 1600 W redundant power supplies and a single CMC handle power and management duties.

Upgrade from separate blade enclosures

Consolidating blades, shared storage and switching into one 5U unit reduces cabling, rack space and management overhead. The jump is worth it when workloads need local high-capacity SAS storage and moderate compute density without a full blade farm. Buyers who need all-flash performance or more than twelve drive bays should look elsewhere.

Build integration: shared I/O and expansion

Eight flexible PCIe slots — three full-height and five low-profile — connect blades to the embedded 1 Gb switch module and external networks. Dual-port 10 Gb Intel X520 adapters on each blade provide high-speed uplinks. iDRAC8 Express gives remote access for firmware updates and monitoring. The chassis accepts 3.5-inch drives only and has no optical bay.

Questions about this item

How much rack height does the 5U VRTX chassis need?

The VRTX chassis occupies 5U of rack space and provides 12 drive bays for 3.5" SAS drives.

What step is often missed when installing the PERC S130 RAID controller?

The S130 controller must be configured in the BIOS before the 12x 20TB drives can form a logical volume.

When will the four 1600W power supplies need replacement?

The redundant 1600W PSUs are hot-swappable; replace any unit that shows a fault LED or fails self-test.
