Dell PowerEdge T320 CTO Tower Server

The Dell PowerEdge T320 is designed for a broad range of workloads and applications, the Dell PowerEdge T320 delivers performance, reliability and value in its 1-socket tower form factor. The PowerEdge T320 is an excellent fit for a wide range of general-purpose applications, such as file and print, email and messaging, productivity applications, data coordination and sharing. The T320’s feature set also fits the requirements of departments and workgroups of large enterprises and organizations. The robust design and simplified manageability make it a trustworthy server for small and medium businesses, and for branch offices and remote sites that might not have technical IT skills onsite.

Boasting up to six DIMM slots of memory, five PCIe slots for broad I/O bandwidth, and driven by the extensive performance of the Intel Xeon E5-2400 processors, the T320 delivers balanced performance and built-in room for growth. Capacity for up to eight 3.5-inch or sixteen 2.5-inch hard drives accommodate storage as your business or organization expands.

To protect your virtualized workloads, the T320 offers redundant dual SD media cards making your hypervisors failsafe. Other reliability and availability features that give you peace of mind include hot-plug hard drives, both hardware and software RAID options, redundant fans and hot-plug power supplies. Last, but not least, the T320’s quiet acoustical profile allows it to fit unobtrusively into quiet office environments.

Help boost office efficiency with the PowerEdge T320, powered by the Intel Xeon processor E5-2400 and E5-2400 v2 product families with options for the Intel Xeon processor E5-1410 or the Intel Pentium processor 1400 series. Matching enterprise-class features with a dense memory footprint enables you to easily address core business applications quickly and efficiently.

Flexible memory configurations are supported on the T320, ranging from capacities of 2GB to 192GB. The system supports up to six DIMMs. The T320 has three memory channels per processor, with each channel supporting up to two DIMMs

The T320 system board has one embedded NIC controller. The Broadcom 5720 Gigabit NIC chip is connected to the platform controller hub through a PCIe 2.0 x2 link.

The Broadcom 5720 is a 14th generation 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet LAN controller solution suitable for high-performance server applications. The Broadcom 5720 combines dual triple-speed IEEE 802.3 compliant Media Access Controllers (MACs) with dual 10/100/1000 Ethernet transceivers (PHYs), selectable individually per port, a network controller sideband interface (NC-SI), and an on-chip memory buffer in a single device. The device provides a PCIe 2.1-compliant interface, which operates at 5GT/s or 2.5GT/s x2 link width.

Not all controllers are supported in all chassic configurations. Please View the chassis section above to have a better understanding of what Controllers are supported with what chassis.

The GPUs from nVidia have PCIe 2.0 interfaces and can be installed in the T320 PCIe x16 3.0 slots. Each GPU supports up to 6GB of dedicated GDDR5 memory and is actively cooled. Each GPU has one or two power connectors to meet the high demand for power delivery. The power connectors are located on the back of the card

The interface for the next-generation GPU cards will be PCIe 3.0. The following system configuration restrictions apply when a GPU is installed:

• 750W redundant power supply is recommended
• System can support only one 5.25-inch device
