DELL PowerEdge R630 1U rack server 2x E5-2620 V3 2.4GHz 32GB DDR4 2x 300GB 15K SAS H330

Compact 1U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R630 is a 1U rack-mount server system built for dense compute environments. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2620 V3 six-core processors at 2.4 GHz, 32 GB of DDR4 memory and two 300 GB 15K SAS drives on a PERC H330 controller. Redundant 750 W hot-swap power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management are included. The chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug drive bays.

Suits virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This configuration fits workloads that need dual-socket performance in a single rack unit with hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 or 60. The 24 DIMM slots allow memory expansion up to the platform maximum, while the four onboard 1 GbE ports and up to three PCIe 3.0 slots handle networking and add-in cards. Buyers who need more than eight drive bays, 10 GbE networking out of the box or an included operating system should evaluate other options.

Dual Xeon E5-2620 V3 CPU configuration

The installed processors provide twelve physical cores and twenty-four threads at 2.4 GHz, defining the compute ceiling for this unit. Memory speed is limited to the processor's supported DDR4 rate up to 2400 MT/s across the twenty-four slots. This CPU choice determines the maximum virtualisation density and single-thread performance available without a processor upgrade.
