DELL PowerEdge T630 16SFF 2x Xeon E5-2640 v3 256GB DDR4 No Drive Rack Server

Capacity and compute density

The Dell PowerEdge T630 16SFF is a rack-mount server system equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors running at 2.6GHz and 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. Sixteen 2.5-inch drive bays and a PERC H730 SAS controller provide high-density internal storage capacity. Integrated graphics and a 1Gb dual-port Ethernet adapter handle display and network connectivity out of the box.

Organisations needing dense CPU and memory resources

IT departments that run virtualisation clusters, database workloads or memory-intensive applications will benefit from the dual-socket design and 1.5TB maximum memory ceiling. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or more than sixteen drive bays should evaluate other platforms because this model uses integrated graphics and a fixed 16-bay chassis. Remote administration is covered by iDRAC8 Enterprise licensing.

Sixteen 2.5-inch SAS drive bays with PERC H730 RAID

The single specification that determines fit is the sixteen-bay 2.5-inch SAS backplane paired with the PERC H730 controller. It defines how many drives can be installed, which RAID levels are supported and whether existing SAS drives can be reused. No drives are included, so storage capacity and redundancy must be planned around this bay count and controller combination.
