DELL C6525 Half-Width Node

This half-width rack node houses two AMD EPYC 7502 processors running at 2.5 GHz with 32 cores each. It comes with 256 GB of DDR4 memory configured as sixteen 16 GB PC4-3200 modules. Remote management is provided by iDRAC9 Express. The S150 controller handles internal storage.

Suited for dense compute clusters

The dual 32-core CPUs and large memory capacity fit high-density HPC and virtualization workloads. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or additional high-speed networking ports should look at other platforms. The single 1 GbE LOM limits bandwidth for storage-heavy deployments. Organisations requiring integrated hardware RAID beyond S150 will need a different controller.

S150 storage controller

The onboard S150 controller manages internal drives without a dedicated RAID processor. It supports basic RAID levels for boot and data volumes. Workloads that demand hardware RAID 5, 6 or cache-backed write performance will require an add-in controller. The half-width form factor restricts the number of drive bays available in the chassis.

Questions about this item

Will the S150 RAID controller need a firmware update or battery replacement later?

The S150 controller relies on system firmware updates delivered through iDRAC9 Express; it has no separate cache battery to replace.

What limits sustained throughput on the single 1GbE LOM port?

The single-port 1GbE LOM caps network throughput at 1 Gbps, which becomes the bottleneck before the dual 32-core EPYC CPUs or 256GB DDR4-3200 memory saturate.

How loud and hot does the half-width C6525 node run under continuous load?

As a half-width node it depends on the shared C6525 chassis fans and cooling; the node itself has no independent noise or thermal ratings.
