Dell POWEREDGE T630Dell PowerEdge T630 Tower Server 2x Xeon E5-2620 v4 16-Core 64GB 2x1TB SAS Wty

Dell PowerEdge T630 — Dual Xeon Tower Server

A dual-socket tower server built for virtualisation, file serving and on-premise workloads, with 16 physical cores across two Intel Xeon E5-2620 v4 processors, 64GB of DDR4 ECC memory and 2 × 1TB SAS enterprise drives. Fully tested by our Melbourne workshop and backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.

Key benefits

• 16 cores, 32 threads. Two Xeon E5-2620 v4 processors at 2.1GHz give you genuine parallel capacity for hypervisors and multi-role servers.
• 64GB DDR4 ECC memory. Error-correcting memory in 2 × 32GB modules, leaving 22 DIMM slots free for expansion.
• Enterprise SAS storage. 2 × 1TB SAS hard drives — built for continuous duty cycles rather than desktop-grade SATA.
• 18-bay chassis. Substantial room to grow your storage without replacing the platform.
• Tower form factor. No rack required — suited to offices, workshops and sites without a comms room.
• 12-month warranty. Tested, graded and supported by Reboot IT in Melbourne, in business since 2001.

Performance in use

The T630 sits in the sweet spot for small and mid-sized businesses that have outgrown a single server but do not want the noise, heat and rack infrastructure of a data-centre chassis. With 16 physical cores and 64GB of ECC memory, it comfortably runs a hypervisor hosting several production virtual machines — a domain controller, a file server, a line-of-business application server and a test environment — without contention between them.

For file and backup duty, the SAS drives matter more than the core count. SAS disks are engineered for sustained multi-user access and continuous operation, which is precisely the workload that wears out consumer drives. Paired with an 18-bay chassis, this machine can grow from a straightforward file server into a substantial storage host as your capacity needs increase, without a forklift upgrade.

The Broadwell-EP generation also remains a sensible choice for workloads licensed per socket or per core. Two 8-core processors deliver serious throughput at a hardware cost far below current-generation equivalents, which makes the T630 a practical platform for lab environments, application testing, container hosts and any deployment where predictable capacity matters more than the newest instruction set.

Condition grades

Cosmetic grading refers to the exterior chassis only. Every unit is tested to the same functional standard regardless of grade.

Frequently asked questions

Does this server come with an operating system?

No. It is supplied without an operating system so you can install the hypervisor or server OS your environment requires — VMware ESXi, Proxmox, Windows Server or a Linux distribution.

How much memory can it take?

The T630 platform has 24 DIMM slots. This unit ships with 2 × 32GB installed, leaving 22 slots free, so there is substantial headroom for expansion using DDR4 ECC modules.

Can I add more drives?

Yes. The chassis is an 18-bay configuration and ships with two 1TB SAS drives fitted, so there is considerable room to expand storage as your requirements grow.

Why SAS drives rather than SATA?

SAS drives are designed for sustained multi-user access and continuous operation in server environments. They typically carry higher duty-cycle ratings than desktop SATA drives, which is why enterprise servers specify them.

Is this a rack-mount server?

This is supplied as a tower. Dell produced a rack conversion kit for the T630 chassis, but it is not included with this unit.

What are the shipping arrangements?

This is a heavy, bulky item. Shipping costs apply based on size and destination — rates are calculated at checkout. Local collection from our Springvale premises can also be arranged.

What testing has it been through?

Every unit is powered up, hardware-audited and functionally tested by our technicians before it is listed. Processors, memory and drives are verified as present and working, and the chassis is inspected and graded.

Warranty and support

This server is covered by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty. If a hardware fault develops within the warranty period, contact us and we will resolve it — repair, replacement or refund depending on the circumstances.

Reboot IT has been refurbishing and supplying business IT equipment from Melbourne since 2001. Every unit is processed through our own workshop by our own technicians, and we stand behind what we sell. We supply schools, councils, charities and businesses across Australia.
