5U rack server for dense compute and storage

The Dell VRTX chassis fits 5U of rack space and holds two M630 blades. Each blade carries an Intel E5-2650v4 running at 2.2GHz with 12 cores and 30M cache. The system ships with 128GB of DDR4 memory across eight 16GB modules. Twelve 3.5-inch bays are populated with 12TB 7.2K SAS drives managed by an S130 controller.

Sustained multi-threaded throughput

Four 1600W redundant power supplies keep both blades online during continuous workloads. The dual 12-core processors maintain clock speed across all cores without throttling when the chassis airflow is unrestricted. Eight flexible PCIe slots, three full-height and five low-profile, allow persistent accelerator or networking cards to run alongside the blades. The single PERC8 RAID controller handles the 12-drive array without a write-cache bottleneck during long sequential writes.

Front-to-rear airflow keeps components cool

The tower-style chassis directs air from front to rear across both blades and the drive bays. Fan speeds ramp gradually under load, so acoustic output stays low in typical office-adjacent rack rows. Redundant power supplies share the load evenly, reducing per-unit heat. iDRAC8 Express provides remote thermal monitoring and alerting without needing a dedicated management network port.

Questions about this item

How much power do the four 1600W supplies draw when the VRTX runs all day?

The chassis includes four redundant 1600W power supplies; actual draw depends on the workload placed on the two M630 blades and twelve 7.2K SAS drives.

What network infrastructure must I already have for the 10GB Intel X520 dual-port adapters?

Each M630 blade carries a 10GB Intel X520 dual-port NIC, so you need 10 GbE switching and cabling to use those ports.

Can I keep using my existing 3.5-inch SAS drives in the twelve drive bays?

The chassis provides twelve 3.5-inch bays populated with 12TB 7.2K SAS drives; any replacement drives must be 3.5-inch SAS to fit the backplane.
