Dell PowerEdge T630

Dell's 13th-generation two-socket rackable tower server (Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4, 24 DDR4 DIMMs up to 1.5 TB, 7 full-height PCIe slots plus an internal PERC slot) with up to 18 × 3.5" or 32 × 2.5" drives, optional Express Flash PCIe SSDs and up to four 300 W GPUs. Built for small and medium businesses and branch offices that need a lot of internal storage or GPU capacity in one box.
