DELL PowerEdge R630 10B E5-2650 V3 2.3GHz 48GB H330 rack server

Dense 1U compute for virtualisation hosts

The Dell PowerEdge R630 packs a ten-core Xeon E5-2650 V3 at 2.3 GHz and 48 GB of DDR4 into a single rack unit, delivering 20 threads for dense virtualisation or container workloads. Its 24 DIMM slots allow memory to scale with demand, while the H330 controller presents RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 to the operating system. Four onboard 1 GbE ports and up to three PCIe 3.0 slots handle networking and acceleration cards without leaving the chassis.

Steady throughput with redundant 750 W supplies

Dual hot-swap 750 W power supplies share the load so a single failure does not interrupt the Xeon or the ten drive bays. The 1U airflow path is designed for continuous operation in rows of similar density, keeping CPU temperatures stable during extended compile jobs or database scans. iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller provides out-of-band monitoring and firmware updates without rebooting the host, reducing unplanned downtime during maintenance windows.

Ten hot-plug bays and tool-less rail mounting

The front panel accepts up to ten 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives that slide in without tools, letting administrators swap media while the server runs. Rails mount the 26.8-inch deep chassis in standard four-post racks, and the 58 lb weight is manageable for a single technician. A dedicated PERC slot keeps the H330 off the general PCIe bus, preserving expansion lanes for additional network or storage controllers.
