Dense 1U rack server for virtualization and HPC

The Dell PowerEdge R660xs is a 1U rackmount chassis built for virtualization, cloud, scale-out database and HPC workloads. It accepts up to two Intel Xeon Scalable processors and provides sixteen DDR5 DIMM slots with a maximum capacity of 1.5 TB. No CPUs or memory modules are installed, so the buyer must populate both.

Flexible front and rear drive bays

The front panel supports either four 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives up to 96 TB total, or ten 2.5-inch SAS, SATA or NVMe drives up to 153.6 TB total. An additional two 2.5-inch SAS, SATA or NVMe bays at the rear add up to 15.2 TB. No drives are included; the configuration chosen determines both capacity ceiling and interface mix.

Sixteen DDR5 slots set the memory ceiling

Registered ECC DDR5 DIMMs running at up to 5200 MT/s are the only supported memory type, and the sixteen slots cap total system memory at 1.5 TB. Buyers needing more memory capacity or a different memory generation must select another platform.

Questions about this item

How many DDR5 memory modules will I need to replace if I want to reach the 1.5 TB maximum?

The server has 16 DDR5 DIMM slots supporting registered ECC modules at up to 5200 MT/s, so reaching 1.5 TB means populating all 16 slots with compatible capacity DIMMs.

Which component caps performance first when the dual Xeon Scalable processors run sustained workloads?

With up to 28 cores per 5th generation Xeon or 32 cores per 4th generation Xeon across two sockets, the 16 DDR5 slots and 5200 MT/s memory bandwidth set the practical ceiling for memory-bound tasks.

How loud and hot does the 1U chassis get when the front bays hold ten 2.5-inch NVMe drives and both CPU sockets are populated?

The air-cooled 1U design relies on internal fans to move heat from up to 10 front 2.5-inch SAS/SATA/NVMe drives plus two Xeon Scalable processors, so sustained loads will raise fan speed and exhaust temperature noticeably.
