Dell VRTX 5U rack server

The Dell VRTX 5U rack server integrates two M630 blades into a single chassis. Each blade runs dual Intel E5-2690v3 processors at 2.6GHz with 12 cores and 30M cache. The system ships with 256GB DDR4 memory across 16 modules and twelve 2.4TB 10K SAS drives managed by a PERC S130 controller.

Who this suits

IT teams consolidating compute and storage in a 5U footprint benefit from the shared 1GB switch module and iDRAC8 Express remote access. Eight flexible PCIe slots, three full height and five low profile, support additional I/O. Buyers needing internal optical media or a different drive protocol should evaluate other platforms.

Deciding specification

The installed drive count is fixed at twelve 3.5-inch bays populated with 2.4TB SAS spindles. This capacity and interface combination determines whether the array matches the workload before any expansion is considered.

Questions about this item

Does this VRTX chassis include the 4x 1600W redundant PSUs so I do not need to buy power supplies separately?

Yes, the 5U chassis ships with four 1600W redundant power supplies already installed.

Can the VRTX 1GB switch module connect to my existing 10GB Intel X520 dual-port uplinks on each M630 blade?

The internal 1GB switch links each blade to the chassis backplane; the X520 dual-port 10GB adapters provide separate external uplinks.

After powering on, how do I confirm the single PERC8 RAID controller sees all 12x 2.4TB 10K SAS drives?

Open the iDRAC8 Express web interface or boot into the PERC8 BIOS utility; both will list the 12 drives and their RAID status.
