Ready-to-deploy Dell VRTX rack server

This 5U Dell VRTX chassis arrives with two M630 blades installed. Each blade carries an Intel E5-2650v4 processor at 2.2 GHz with 12 cores and 30 MB cache. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 memory across 16 modules and 12 bays populated with 20 TB 7.2K SAS drives.

Confirm power, networking and rack space

The unit requires connections for four 1600 W redundant power supplies and a 1 Gb switch module. Two 10 Gb Intel X520 ports per blade handle uplink traffic. Verify that your rack can accommodate a 5U enclosure and that your PDUs supply the necessary connectors.

Eight PCIe slots for expansion cards

Three full-height and five low-profile slots are available for additional controllers or accelerators. The single PERC8 RAID controller manages the installed drives through the S130 interface. iDRAC8 Express provides remote management without occupying a slot.

Questions about this item

Does the VRTX chassis ship with the 12x 20TB SAS drives already installed, or do I need to add drives separately?

The 12x 20TB 7.2K SAS drives are pre-installed in the 3.5" bays.

Should I select the configuration with two M630 blades and 256GB DDR4, or is a different blade count available?

This unit includes exactly two M630 blades, each with an E5-2650v4 12-core processor and 256GB total DDR4 memory.

What throughput can I expect from the 1GB switch module when the blades use their 10GB Intel X520 dual ports?

The internal 1GB switch limits blade-to-blade traffic to 1Gbps, while the X520 ports provide 10Gbps uplinks to external networks.
