Ready-to-run VRTX server

This 5U rack chassis holds two PowerEdge M630 blades, each with an Intel E5-2630v4 processor running at 2.2 GHz with ten cores. The system ships with 256 GB of DDR4 memory across the blades and twelve 3.5-inch 12 TB 7.2K SAS drives installed. Redundant 1600 W power supplies, an internal 1 Gb switch and iDRAC8 Express remote management are included.

Suits consolidated workloads

Organisations that want compute, storage and networking in a single enclosure will benefit from the integrated design and eight flexible PCIe slots. Buyers who need more than two blade servers or require a different storage controller than the S130 should evaluate other platforms.

Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays decide fit

The chassis provides exactly twelve 3.5-inch bays populated with 12 TB SAS drives, so total raw capacity is fixed at this level. If your project demands more bays or a different drive form factor, this VRTX configuration will not match the requirement.

Questions about this item

How much rack height does the 5U VRTX chassis require?

The chassis occupies 5U of rack space and provides twelve 3.5-inch drive bays for the installed 12TB SAS drives.

Which step is often missed when installing the M630 blades into the VRTX enclosure?

After seating each blade, the Chassis Management Controller must be used to assign the blade to the correct I/O fabric before the operating system will see the 10GB Intel X520 ports.

What component will need replacement first in the 12-drive SAS array?

The 7.2K SAS drives are the primary wear items; plan to swap any failed drive and let the PERC S130 rebuild the RAID set.
