Dell VRTX 5U Rack Server

The Dell VRTX is a 5U rack server that holds up to four blade servers in a shared chassis. This unit ships with two M630 blades, each powered by an Intel E5-2650v4 processor running at 2.2 GHz with 12 cores. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 memory across the blades and a single S130 storage controller.

High-density compute and storage platform

Organisations that need consolidated compute, storage and networking in a single 5U enclosure will fit this server. It provides eight flexible PCIe slots, a 1 GB switch module and four redundant 1600 W power supplies. Buyers who need more than two blades, a different RAID controller or a 10 GB switch should consider other configurations.

Twelve 20 TB 7.2K SAS drives

The chassis is populated with twelve 3.5 inch 20 TB SAS hard drives spinning at 7.2K RPM. This storage array connects to the single PERC8 RAID controller for volume management. The installed drives define the usable capacity and performance ceiling for the platform.

Questions about this item

What rack height does the 5U VRTX chassis require?

The Dell PowerEdge VRTX chassis occupies 5U of rack space and holds twelve 3.5-inch drive bays.

How are the two M630 blades and the 1GB switch module installed in the VRTX?

Insert each M630 blade into a front bay and seat the 1GB switch module in the rear I/O fabric; a common error is leaving the switch module unseated so blades lose network connectivity.

When should the 1600W redundant power supplies or the 7.2K SAS drives be replaced?

Replace a 1600W PSU if its status LED shows a fault or iDRAC8 Express reports a power-supply failure; replace any 20TB 7.2K SAS drive when the PERC8 RAID controller or iDRAC flags a predictive failure or rebuild event.
