Dell VRTX 5U rack server with dual M630 blades

This Dell PowerEdge VRTX is a 5U rack system that holds two M630 compute blades. Each blade carries an Intel E5-2687Wv3 processor running at 3.1 GHz with ten cores and 25 MB cache. The chassis provides twelve 3.5-inch drive bays populated with 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives and a single PERC S130 RAID controller. Four redundant 1600 W power supplies and a single CMC complete the platform.

Suited for consolidated workloads needing dense

Teams that want blade-style density with shared storage and networking in one enclosure will fit here. The eight flexible PCIe slots — three full-height and five low-profile — allow GPU or NIC expansion. Buyers who need more than two blades, a different RAID controller, or a 10 GbE switch module instead of the 1 GB module should look at another configuration.

Dual ten-core CPUs set the processing ceiling

Each M630 blade runs a pair of E5-2687Wv3 chips at 3.1 GHz, giving twenty cores per blade. That core count and clock speed decide how many virtual machines or containers the node can sustain. If the workload demands higher core counts or newer instruction sets, this server will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

What PCIe slots does the VRTX chassis provide for expansion cards?

The VRTX chassis provides eight flexible PCIe slots — three full height and five low profile — for additional I/O cards.

How do the M630 blades connect to the existing 1 Gb switch module in the VRTX?

Each M630 blade uses its dual-port 10 Gb Intel X520 network daughter card, which links to the internal VRTX 1 Gb switch module for blade-to-blade and external traffic.

How can I verify the S130 RAID controller sees all twelve 2.4 TB SAS drives after setup?

Open the iDRAC8 Express interface or the PERC S130 BIOS utility during boot; both will list each 2.4 TB SAS drive and the configured virtual disks.
