Dell VRTX 5U chassis with two M630 blades

This 5U rack server integrates two M630 compute blades in a shared chassis. Each blade carries two Intel E5-2690v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz with 12 cores and 30 MB cache. The system ships with 128 GB of DDR4 memory across eight 16 GB modules. Twelve 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives provide high-capacity storage.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense compute

IT teams consolidating workloads into a single 5U enclosure will benefit from the eight PCIe slots and integrated 1 GB switch module. The single S130 controller manages all twelve drive bays with PERC8 RAID support. Buyers requiring more than two blades or a 10 GB fabric module should evaluate other platforms. The lack of an optical drive may affect legacy media workflows.

Twelve 3.5-inch bays populated

Storage capacity is fixed at twelve 2.4 TB SAS disks behind one S130 RAID controller. No additional 3.5-inch bays remain for expansion. The installed drives deliver 10K rotational speed for mixed read and write workloads. Confirm that the single controller and SAS interface meet your performance and redundancy requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I install the two M630 blades into the 5U VRTX chassis and what step is often missed?

Slide each M630 blade into its bay until the latch clicks, then connect the CMC so both blades appear in the single management view.

Which components will need replacement first during the server's life?

The twelve 2.4TB 10K SAS drives and the four 1600W redundant power supplies are the primary field-replaceable units.

What limit appears first when the 1GB switch module runs sustained traffic?

The 1GB switch module bandwidth caps east-west traffic between the two M630 blades before CPU or storage limits are reached.
