Dell VRTX 5U server with dual M630 blades

This 5U rack system houses two PowerEdge M630 compute sleds, each equipped with an Intel E5-2690v3 processor running at 2.6 GHz and twelve cores. The chassis provides twelve 3.5-inch drive bays populated with 20 TB 7.2K SAS drives and a single S130 storage controller. System memory totals 128 GB DDR4 across eight 16 GB modules.

Suited for dense compute and high-capacity storage

Organisations needing blade density with shared storage and networking in a single rack enclosure will fit this platform. Buyers who require more than two compute nodes or a different storage controller feature set should evaluate alternative configurations.

Twelve 20 TB 7.2K SAS drives on an S130 controller

The storage subsystem delivers twelve 3.5-inch SAS drives at 7.2K RPM behind a single PERC S130 RAID controller, defining the raw capacity and performance envelope for this VRTX deployment.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and mounting hardware are needed to install this 5U VRTX chassis?

The chassis is a 5U rack-mount unit with twelve 3.5-inch drive bays; you must provide a standard four-post rack with sufficient depth and the appropriate rail kit for secure installation.

Can the single 1 Gb VRTX switch module and iDRAC8 Express manage network traffic for both M630 blades simultaneously?

Yes, the integrated 1 Gb switch module connects both blades to the network, and the single CMC with iDRAC8 Express provides remote management for each blade independently.

How do I verify that the PERC S130 controller sees all twelve 20 TB SAS drives after power-on?

During POST, enter the S130 configuration utility or open the iDRAC8 Express web interface to confirm that all twelve drives appear as healthy members of the configured virtual disk.
