Purpose-built compute density

The Dell PowerEdge R630 packs two Xeon E5-2687W v3 processors, each running at 3.1 GHz with 10 cores, into a 1U rack frame. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730 SAS RAID controller. No drives are installed, leaving the eight 2.5-inch SAS bays open for your own capacity plan.

Suits virtualisation hosts, not cold storage

This server fits teams that need high core counts and large memory pools for hypervisors, database nodes or HPC workloads. The dual 495 W supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise licence support lights-out management. Buyers who want more storage bays than eight 2.5-inch slots, or who need a different drive interface, should look at alternative chassis.

The eight-bay 2.5-inch SAS backplane

The installed PERC H730 controller and front backplane accept only SAS drives. Capacity and drive count are capped at eight devices, so the configuration decision rests on whether that bay count and interface match your storage design.

Questions about this item

What SAS standard does the PERC H730 RAID controller use and what speed does it cap at?

The PERC H730 SAS controller supports 12 Gb/s SAS links to the eight 2.5 inch drive bays, so each bay tops out at that 12 Gb/s rate.

What physical space and mounting hardware does the 1U chassis need in a rack?

The server measures 36 x 24 x 10 inches and weighs 40 pounds; it occupies 1U and requires a compatible rail kit for secure mounting.

How are the two Xeon E5-2687W v3 processors and 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed, and what step is often missed?

Both CPUs are pre-installed in the dual sockets and the 768 GB DDR4 ECC registered DIMMs populate the memory slots; the step often missed is verifying the firmware is updated to the latest stable version before deployment.
