DELL PowerEdge T630 16SFF 2x Xeon E5-2699v4 512GB DDR4 Rack Server

Dual-socket Xeon server for virtualised workloads

The Dell PowerEdge T630 16SFF arrives with two Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz across 22 cores and 55 MB cache. 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory fills the DIMM slots, leaving headroom to the 1.5 TB maximum. A PERC H730 SAS controller manages up to 16 hot-swap 2.5" SATA bays, and a 2-port 332T 1 GbE adapter handles network traffic. Integrated graphics provide console output without a discrete GPU.

Sustained multi-thread throughput

Forty-four cores and eighty-eight threads keep compilation farms, database clusters and container hosts fed during long-running jobs. The 512 GB DDR4 pool lets large in-memory datasets stay resident, reducing swap pressure across extended runs. Dual 1100 W supplies share the load so neither unit operates near its limit, and the H730 cache keeps write latency predictable when RAID volumes absorb continuous streams.

Thermal headroom and acoustic profile

The 36 x 24 x 10 in rack chassis directs front-to-rear airflow through redundant fans that spin faster only when inlet temperatures rise. At typical utilisation the system sits well below the fan-ramp threshold, keeping rack-aisle noise comparable to other 2U dense servers. Power draw scales with CPU load; idle consumption stays modest while full synthetic load draws proportionally more from the shared 1100 W modules.
