Compact 5U rack system for converged workloads

The Dell VRTX chassis combines two M630 compute blades with shared storage and networking in a 5U enclosure. Each blade carries two Intel E5-2650v4 processors at 2.2GHz with 12 cores and 30M cache. Total memory is 256GB DDR4 across 16 modules. Twelve 2.4TB 10K SAS drives sit behind a single PERC8 S130 controller. Remote management uses iDRAC8 Express.

Sustained multi-node throughput with redundant power

Four 1600W redundant power supplies feed both blades and the shared midplane. The 1GB switch module handles internal traffic between blades and uplinks. Eight flexible PCIe slots — three full-height and five low-profile — support additional I/O cards. Cooling is designed for continuous duty across both sockets per blade under full memory population.

Verify rack depth, power circuits

The 5U form factor demands a rack with sufficient depth for cable management at the rear. Four independent power feeds are required for full redundancy. The S130 controller relies on host-based RAID; confirm your hypervisor or operating system supports this implementation. No optical drive is fitted, so installation media must be provided via USB or network boot.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the chassis get with four 1600W power supplies running continuously?

The four redundant 1600W supplies share the load, so each unit runs at lower utilisation and fan speed than a single supply would.

Which cables and rails do I need to mount the 5U chassis in a standard rack?

The 5U rack-mount chassis requires compatible sliding rails and IEC C13 power cords for each of the four supplies.

Can the internal 1GB switch module connect to my existing 10GB Intel X520 network ports on the blades?

The blades expose dual 10GB X520 ports for uplinks, while the internal 1GB switch handles blade-to-blade traffic separately.
