DELL PowerEdge R630 8SFF 2× Xeon E5-2697 v4 768GB DDR4

PowerEdge R630 8-bay DDR4 Server

The Dell PowerEdge R630 is a 1U rack-mount server system built for dense compute workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2697 v4 processors running at 2.3 GHz, each providing 18 cores and 45 MB cache. Installed memory totals 768 GB of DDR4 ECC Registered DIMMs, expandable to 1.5 TB. The chassis supports eight 2.5-inch SAS drive bays and includes a PERC H730 RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 Enterprise.

Virtualisation hosts needing core density

This configuration suits organisations consolidating virtual machines, running in-memory databases or hosting high-thread-count applications where 36 total cores and 768 GB RAM provide headroom. The eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis allows flexible SAS storage layouts. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, single-thread performance above 2.3 GHz or pre-installed drives should evaluate other platforms. The integrated graphics and lack of installed storage limit desktop virtualisation and immediate deployment scenarios.

Dual Xeon E5-2697 v4 with 768 GB DDR4

The defining specification is the paired 18-core Xeon E5-2697 v4 CPUs combined with 768 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots. This specific processor and memory pairing determines whether the server matches your licensing, throughput and capacity requirements. All other features — SAS bays, PERC H730, iDRAC8, dual 495 W supplies — support that core compute foundation.
