Blade server for dense compute

The Dell VRTX 5U chassis houses two M630 blades, each with a 2.2GHz 10-core Intel E5-2630v4 processor and 128GB of DDR4 memory across eight 16GB modules. This configuration targets workloads that need high core counts and large memory pools in a shared infrastructure.

Four 1600W redundant supplies

Four hot-plug 1600W power supplies deliver N+N redundancy for the chassis, blades, storage and networking modules. The shared cooling architecture uses chassis-level fans to move air across both blades and the twelve drive bays, concentrating airflow in a single 5U enclosure.

Twelve 3.5-inch bays with single RAID

Twelve 12TB 7.2K SAS drives fill every bay, managed by a single S130 controller that provides hardware RAID for the array. Eight flexible PCIe slots (three full-height, five low-profile) remain available for additional networking or acceleration cards, while a 1Gb switch module and dual-port 10Gb Intel X520 mezzanine handle fabric connectivity.

Questions about this item

How are the M630 blades installed in the VRTX chassis, and which step is often missed?

Slide each M630 blade into the front bays until the latch clicks, then attach the CMC cable so the single Chassis Management Controller can manage both blades.

What maintenance will the 12x 12TB 7.2K SAS drives and the PERC8 RAID controller need later?

Monitor SMART data on each 12TB SAS drive and rebuild the array if a drive fails; check the PERC8 controller battery every 2–3 years and replace it if the charge drops below threshold.

What limit appears first when the dual E5-2630v4 2.2GHz 10C CPUs run sustained workloads?

The 128GB DDR4 memory ceiling across the two blades is reached before CPU saturation on memory-heavy tasks.
