DELL PowerEdge T320 tower server E5-2420 1.9 GHz 64 GB DDR3 H710 2×495 W

PowerEdge T320 tower server

The Dell PowerEdge T320 is a single-socket tower server built around an Intel Xeon E5-2420 six-core processor running at 1.9 GHz. It ships with 64 GB of DDR3 memory across six DIMM slots and a PERC H710 RAID controller with 512 MB cache. Dual 495 W power supplies provide redundancy. The chassis holds up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays and includes a DVD ROM drive.

Check memory ceiling and drive tray stock

The system arrives with 64 GB installed, which matches the 64 GB maximum listed in the specifications table, so no further RAM expansion is possible without replacing modules. Eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays are present, but no hard drives or trays are included. Verify that you have compatible SATA or SAS drives and the correct caddies before deployment. The single-processor configuration leaves the second CPU socket empty.

H710 controller enables RAID flexibility

The bundled PERC H710 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, allowing a range of redundancy and performance layouts across the eight drive bays. Dual redundant 495 W power supplies keep the server running if one unit fails. Five PCIe slots — one x16 at 3.0, three x8 and one x8 at x1 — provide room for additional network or storage adapters. The Matrox G200 with 8 MB video memory handles basic console output.
