Dell VRTX 5U rack server with twelve bays

This 5U Dell VRTX chassis holds twelve 3.5-inch bays and ships with twelve 20TB 7.2K SAS drives installed. Two M630 blades provide four Intel E5-2630v3 processors running at 2.4GHz with eight cores each. Memory totals 256GB DDR4 across sixteen modules. Four redundant 1600W power supplies and an iDRAC8 Express module are included.

Suited for dense storage workloads needing blade

Buyers who want a single enclosure that combines shared storage, switching and up to four server nodes will fit this platform. The 1GB switch module and PERC8 RAID controller handle internal connectivity. Organisations requiring higher-speed switching, GPU acceleration or more than four processor sockets should look at a different architecture.

Twelve 20TB 7.2K SAS drives set the capacity floor

The installed drive count and spindle speed define the raw storage baseline for this configuration. A single S130 controller manages the array. Any expansion must stay within the twelve-bay limit of the chassis.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the PERC S130 RAID controller recognises all 12 drives after setup?

Open the RAID BIOS during boot or log into iDRAC8 Express; the storage dashboard will list every 20TB 7.2K SAS drive and show the array status.

What components ship with the VRTX and what must I source separately?

The 5U chassis includes 2 M630 blades, 2x E5-2630v3 2.4GHz 8C CPUs, 256GB DDR4, 12x 20TB SAS drives, S130 controller, 1GB switch module, 4x 1600W PSUs and 2x 16GB SD cards per blade; no optical drive or extra rails are supplied.

Which blade configuration should I pick if I need more memory headroom?

The listed unit already provides 256GB DDR4 across 16 DIMM slots; select this version for maximum installed capacity without additional memory purchases.
