Product identity

The Dell PowerEdge M630 is a dual-socket blade server built for dense compute environments. It ships with two Xeon E5-2640 v4 processors running at 2.4 GHz, 256 GB of DDR4 memory and two 1 TB SATA drives managed by a PERC H330 controller. Remote management is provided by iDRAC8 Enterprise.

Fit and alternatives

This blade suits virtualization hosts, database nodes or HPC clusters that need high core counts in a shared enclosure. Buyers who need more than two internal drives, a GPU accelerator or a standalone rackmount chassis should look at a different platform.

Deciding specification

The installed memory is 256 GB DDR4 with a maximum capacity of 512 GB, so the DIMM population and remaining slots determine whether the server can reach the required footprint.

Questions about this item

What clearance does the 22 x 22 x 10 in blade need inside the enclosure?

The blade measures 22 by 22 by 10 inches and weighs 20 pounds, so the chassis slot must accommodate those dimensions and support the weight.

What step is often missed when seating the blade and connecting the PERC H330 controller?

After sliding the blade home, the iDRAC8 Enterprise module must be configured with a static IP before the PERC H330 RAID controller will present the two 1 TB SATA drives to the OS installer.

Which components will need replacement first in a 256 GB DDR4 configuration?

The two 1 TB SATA 7.2K drives and the system battery are the only field-replaceable parts; DDR4 memory slots support up to 512 GB if capacity must grow later.
