Rack Server for Virtualised Workloads
The Dell VRTX arrives as a 5U rack system containing two M630 blades. Each blade runs a 14-core Intel processor at 2.4 GHz with 35 MB cache. The pair shares 128 GB of DDR4 memory and includes dual 10 GB network ports for cluster traffic.
Storage Density and Expansion
Twelve 3.5-inch bays hold 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives managed by a single PERC8 controller through the S130 interface. Eight flexible PCIe slots — three full-height and five low-profile — provide room for additional controllers or accelerators. A 1 GB switch module links the blades internally.
Redundant Power and Remote Management
Four 1600 W power supplies deliver N+1 redundancy across the chassis and both blades. The iDRAC8 Express module gives out-of-band access for firmware updates and health monitoring without interrupting running workloads.

Questions about this item
What RAID levels does the S130 controller support with the 12 SAS drives?
The S130 controller manages the 12 installed 2.4TB SAS drives in a single PERC8 RAID array.
How many PCIe expansion slots are available and what sizes do they accept?
The chassis provides 8 flexible PCIe slots: 3 full height and 5 low profile.
What is required to install the M630 blades into the VRTX chassis?
Slide each M630 blade into an empty bay until the latch clicks; the common mistake is not fully seating the blade before locking the handle.
