Dell PowerEdge T630 tower server
This Dell PowerEdge T630 tower server ships new with a single Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 twelve-core 2.5GHz processor and 384GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots. Three 2TB 7.2K SAS drives are installed behind the H330 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750W redundant power supplies and a DVD ROM complete the 5U chassis.
Compatibility checks before ordering
Verify that your rack or floor space can accommodate a 5U tower measuring 26.8 x 17.44 x 3.4 inches and weighing 110 lbs. Confirm the SAS backplane and H330 controller match your drive replacement plans, and note the single CPU configuration leaves one processor socket and twelve memory slots unpopulated. The eight PCIe slots include x16 and x8 lanes split between CPU1, CPU2 and the PCH.
Thermals, noise and power draw
Dual redundant 750W power supplies share the load and maintain operation if one unit fails. The tower form factor uses internal airflow across two processor sockets and up to eight hot-plug drive bays. Acoustic output will reflect the 5U server design with multiple system fans running under typical workloads.

Questions about this item
Does the tower ship with drive trays for the three 2 TB SAS drives, or must they be purchased separately?
The three 2 TB 7.2K 6Gbps 3.5" SAS drives are supplied with their hot-plug trays; the remaining five 3.5" bays are empty and trays are only included when additional drives are ordered.
Should I choose the single E5-2680 v3 or add a second processor to reach the 384 GB memory ceiling?
The installed 384 GB already uses all 24 DDR4 slots (12 per CPU); adding a second Xeon would not increase capacity unless higher-density modules replace the current ones.
What throughput can the H330 controller deliver to the three 6 Gbps SAS drives in a RAID 5 array?
The H330 12 Gbps controller supports RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60, but each 2 TB drive is limited to 6 Gbps, so the array speed is bound by the drives rather than the controller.
