Frequently Asked Questions

The R260 is a single-socket server that takes one Intel Xeon E-2400 series or Intel Xeon 6300 series processor, or an entry-level Intel Pentium processor. It replaces the Xeon E-2300 series used in the previous-generation R250.

It has four DDR5 ECC UDIMM slots for up to 128GB of memory. The DIMMs operate at up to 4400 MT/s, because operating speed is limited by the processor. Registered (RDIMM) memory is not used in this platform.

Options include up to 2x 3.5-inch SAS/SATA drives, up to 6x 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drives, or 4x 2.5-inch hot-swappable SAS/SATA drives plus 2x 2.5-inch direct-attach NVMe drives. BOSS-N1 provides mirrored M.2 NVMe boot. Please specify your capacity needs when you submit your quote configuration.

No. The R260 uses a single, non-redundant power supply: a 450W Platinum cabled PSU or a 700W Titanium mixed-mode PSU. If you need hot-swap redundant power in a single-socket 1U server, consider the PowerEdge R360.

The R260 moves from the Xeon E-2300 to the Xeon E-2400 or Xeon 6300 series, from DDR4-3200 to DDR5 memory, adds optional direct-attach NVMe drives, and replaces BOSS-S1 with BOSS-N1 NVMe boot. It remains a short-depth 1U server with two PCIe Gen4 slots, 2x 1GbE LOM and iDRAC9.
