Tower server for small-scale workloads
The Dell PowerEdge T320 is a single-socket tower server built around an Intel Xeon E5-2450 eight-core processor running at 2.1 GHz with 8 GB of DDR3 memory installed. It targets offices or departments that need a quiet, standalone system for file, print or light virtualisation tasks without rack infrastructure.
Fits a desk or shelf with room to grow
The chassis accepts up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug SATA or SAS drives and provides six DDR3 DIMM slots supporting 1600 MT/s modules, although the installed CPU limits total memory to 8 GB. Five PCIe slots — one x16 at 3.0, three x8 at x4 bandwidth (two at 3.0, one at 2.0) and one x8 at x1 bandwidth 2.0 — leave space for additional network or storage controllers, while dual 495 W redundant supplies keep the system running if one unit fails.
RAID controller and remote access included
The integrated Perc H310 controller handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across the drive bays, and a Matrox G200 with 8 MB video memory drives the console. A DVD-ROM is fitted, and the Broadcom 5720 dual-port 1 Gb LOM provides network connectivity out of the box. The server ships without operating system, drive trays or hard drives, so buyers who need immediate storage capacity or pre-loaded software must source those separately.

Questions about this item
What memory ceiling does the single Xeon E5-2450 impose on this tower server?
The installed processor limits total DDR3 capacity to 8 GB across the six DIMM slots, even though the platform supports larger modules.
How much acoustic and thermal load do the dual 495 W redundant supplies add during continuous operation?
Two hot-swap 495 W units share the load, so each runs at lower utilisation, reducing fan speed and heat output compared with a single supply at full load.
Which storage drives must I supply myself before the PERC H310 can present any RAID volumes?
The chassis provides eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays for SATA or SAS drives, but no drives or trays are included with the server.
