More memory options are available than ever before with the Dell PowerEdge T620—greater capacities, higher frequencies, and more flexibility. The T620 supports up to 768GB of memory (24 DIMMs) and speeds up to 1600 MT/s, providing high performance in a variety of applications. High memory density means there is no compromise when it comes to virtualization. Increase your uptime and reduce data loss due to Dell’s focus on reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) features.
Table 9 lists the DIMMs supported by the T620. For the latest information on supported memory, visit Dell.com.

For more information on memory configuration, see the Dell PowerEdge T620 Owner’s Manual on Support.Dell.com/Manuals. The T620 supports memory speeds of 1600MT/s, 1333MT/s, 1066MT/s, and 800MT/s depending on the DIMM types installed and the configuration. All memory on all processors and channels run at the same speed and voltage. By default, the systems run at the highest speed for the channel with the lowest DIMM voltage and speed.
Reliability, availability, serviceability (RAS) features help keep the system online and operational without significant impact to performance, and can decrease data loss and crashing due to errors. RAS aids in rapid, accurate diagnosis of faults which require service. Table 11 describes the RAS features supported on the T620.
With comprehensive storage options, the Dell PowerEdge T620 offers the choice of drive types, internal and external storage controllers, and different chassis options depending on the drive configuration. Features such as Express Flash PCIe solid-state drives and CacheCade™ provide accelerated performance over previous technologies. Express Flash drives use PCIe lanes to connect directly to the processor and chipset.
Express Flash drives use PCIe and SSD technologies to provide performance, scalability, and optimal serviceability. Accelerated performance with high IOPs is made possible without requiring processor resources or capturing DRAM. Also, Express Flash drives use a standardized 2.5-inch hot-plug form factor that saves critical PCIe slot space by moving drives from the back to the front of the system and allows a common management process for all drives. The PowerEdge T620 has an option to support up to four 2.
Dell provides highly capable RAID options for you to ensure that your data remains safe. Dell’s RAID controller options offer impressive performance improvements, including the following features: FastPath™ I/O: This feature can help accelerate performance when operating on SSDs. Split mirror: This function allows you to break mirrored disk connection in order to quickly replace a drive.

Lower overall system-level power draw is a result of Dell’s breakthrough system design. PowerEdge servers maximize performance per watt through a combination of power and cooling, energy efficient technologies and tools. Additionally, PowerEdge servers have an extensive collection of sensors that automatically track thermal activity, which helps regulate temperature thereby reducing server noise and power consumption.
Feature Description Systems management iDRAC7 Enterprise provides server-level management that monitors, reports, and controls power consumption at the processor, memory, and system level. Dell OpenManage Power Center delivers group power management at the rack, row, and data center level for servers, power distribution units, and uninterruptible power supplies.
Figure 9 shows a 750W power supply extended from the T620 chassis. The PowerEdge T620 supports up to two AC or DC power supplies with 1 + 1 redundancy, auto-sensing, and auto-switching capability.

management adjusts cooling according to what the system really needs, and draws lower fan power draw and generates lower acoustical noise levels than servers without such controls. Environmental specifications: The optimized thermal management makes the T620 reliable under a wide range of operating environments. Many configurations are compliant in expanded operating temperature environments, but a few are not.

The Dell PowerEdge T620 is a rackable tower server. The sliding rail system for the T620 provides tool-less support for racks with square or unthreaded round mounting holes including all generations of Dell racks. Compared to the T610 sliding rails that required adapter brackets, the sliding rails for the T620 offer support for threaded hole racks with the ReadyRails II mounting interface. The T620 supports only sliding rails; static rails not supported.
Table 22 lists the rack type supported by the T620 rails. The T620 does not support mounting in a 2-post rack.
