Dell VRTX 5U rack server

The Dell VRTX 5U rack server houses two M630 compute blades in a single chassis. Each blade runs a 14-core Intel E5-2680v4 processor at 2.4 GHz with 35 MB cache. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 memory across sixteen 16 GB modules and twelve 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives. Four 1600 W redundant power supplies and a single CMC module provide infrastructure resilience.

Suits consolidated blade workloads

This configuration suits organisations that want blade density with shared storage and networking in a 5U rack footprint. The eight flexible PCIe slots, three full-height and five low-profile, allow I/O expansion for the installed blades. Buyers who need more than two compute nodes or who require a different processor generation should look at alternative platforms.

Two M630 blades with E5-2680v4 CPUs

The decisive specification is the pair of M630 blades each equipped with a 14-core E5-2680v4 processor. This fixed blade count and CPU choice set the total thread capacity and memory limit for the chassis. Verify that the core count and memory capacity match the workload before purchase.

Questions about this item

What does 256 GB DDR4 across two M630 blades mean for VM density?

256 GB DDR4 split as 16×16 GB modules across two M630 blades provides ample memory for running multiple virtual machines or memory-intensive databases on each blade.

How does the S130 controller limit the 12× 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives?

The S130 controller manages the 12× 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives with basic RAID levels; throughput is capped by the controller and the 10K SAS interface rather than the drive count.

What rack space and power does the 5U VRTX chassis with four 1600 W PSUs need?

The 5U chassis occupies five rack units and uses four 1600 W redundant power supplies, requiring sufficient PDU capacity and cooling for the full enclosure.
