Product for Sale Description

The Dell PowerEdge R660xs Rack Server (Mid‑Range Rack Server) is a powerful, highly scalable 2U rack‑mount solution engineered for growing businesses, virtualisation clusters, line‑of‑business applications, and networked storage roles in Kenya. This configuration combines dual Intel Xeon Silver 4510 processors with enterprise‑class memory, storage and networking, making it ideal for mid‑range virtualisation, application servers, small private clouds and database workloads.

At its core, the Dell PowerEdge R660xs rack server features 2 × Intel Xeon Silver 4510 CPUs, each running at 2.4GHz with 12 cores / 24 threads, 16GT/s bus, 30MB cache, Turbo and Hyper‑Threading (150W). Paired with 64GB DDR5 5600MT/s RDIMM ECC memory (dual rank), this platform delivers strong multi‑threaded performance and stability for demanding workloads.

The 2.5″ chassis supports up to 10 SAS/SATA hard drives, and this build includes 1 × 480GB SATA 6Gbps mixed‑use 2.5″ hot‑plug SSD, managed by a PERC H755 SAS Front RAID controller (RAID 0/1/5). Networking is handled by the PowerEdge R750xs motherboard with Broadcom 5720 dual‑port 1GbE on‑board LOM, plus a Broadcom 57416 dual‑port 10GbE BASE‑T OCP 3.0 NIC, giving you dual 1GbE and dual 10GbE for fast, resilient connectivity.

Enterprise‑grade management comes via iDRAC9 Enterprise (16G), providing advanced out‑of‑band remote management, while rack rails and standard bezel ease deployment in standard racks. Power is supplied by dual, redundant (1+1) hot‑plug 1100W MM Titanium power supplies (100–240Vac) for high efficiency and failover protection. The server is backed by 3‑Year Basic Next Business Day Onsite support.
