The Dell PowerEdge R420 is a 1U rackmount server which comes in single or dual processor configurations. It can address up to 384GB (32GB X 12) of DDR3 RDIMMs with a max frequency of 1600 MHz or 48GB UDIMMs with a max frequency of 1600MHz. The processors that this system support includes all of the Intel Xeon One E5-1400, E5-2400, or E5-2400 v2 processors series. The R420 can be configured with up to 4 3.5" or 8 2.5" drives This system has 2 available expansion slots with the correct risers. The first slot is full-height, low profile at x16 link while the second is full-height, low profile at x16 link speed when dual processors are installed. When a single processor is installed the first slot runs at x4 speed.

The R420 can be equipped with a up to dual redundant 350W or 550W power supply. In a configuration with two E5-2400 v2, 12 16GB DDR3 RDIMMs at 1600MHz, two 300GB 15K drives and dual 550W power supplies you can expect idle power consumption to be roughly 97 watts. This will cost roughly $86.37 for a full year of idling with the national average cost of $.10/KWh. At full load you can expect power consumption of roughly 183 watts. It would cost roughly $162.95 to run the system at full load continuously for a year.

The Dell PowerEdge R320 is a 1U rackmount server which comes in a single processor configuration. It can address up to 192GB (32GB X 6) of DDR3 RDIMMs with a max frequency of 1600 MHz or 24GB UDIMMs with a max frequency of 1600MHz. The processors that this system support includes all of the Intel Xeon One E5-1400, E5-2400, or E5-2400 v2 processors series. The R320 can be configured with up to 8 3.5" or 2.5" drives This system has 2 available expansion slots with the correct risers. The first slot is half-height, half-length at x4 link while the second is full-height, half-length at x16 link speed.

The R320 can be equipped with a up to dual redundant 350W power supply. In a configuration with a E5-2400 v2, 6 16GB DDR3 RDIMMs at 1600MHz, single 300GB 15K drives you can expect idle power consumption to be roughly 75 watts. This will cost roughly $66.78 for a full year of idling with the national average cost of $.10/KWh. At full load you can expect power consumption of roughly 118 watts. It would cost roughly $105.07 to run the system at full load continuously for a year.

The Dell PowerEdge R230 is a 1U rackmount server which comes in a single processor configuration. It can address up to 64GB (16GB X 4) of DDR4 UDIMMs with a max frequency of 2400 MHz. BIOS Revision 2.0.8 is required to reach this max frequency. The processors that this system support includes all of the Intel Xeon E3-1200 v5 processor, E3-1200 V6, Intel Core i3 6100, Intel Celeron G3900, Intel Celeron G3930, Intel Pentium G4500, Intel Pentium G4600's series. The R230 can be configured with up to 4 3.5" or 4 2.5" drives This system has 2 available expansion slots with the correct riser. With the x16 riser there are two x16 slots available with slot one being half-height, half-length and the second slot being full-height, half-length. With the x8 riser the first slot is full-height, half-length at x4 speed while the second slot is half-height, half-length at x8 speed.

The R230 can be equipped with a single 250W power supply. In a configuration with a E3-1220 v5, 4 16GB DDR4 UDIMMs at 2400MHz, dual 1TB 7.2K drives you can expect idle power consumption to be roughly 100 watts. This will cost roughly $89.04 for a full year of idling with the national average cost of $.10/KWh. At full load you can expect power consumption of roughly 150 watts. It would cost roughly $133.56 to run the system at full load continuously for a year.

The Dell PowerEdge R220 is a 1U rackmount server which comes in a single processor configuration. It can address up to 32GB (8GB X 4) of DDR3 UDIMMs with a max frequency of 1600 MHz. The processors that this system support includes all of the E3-1200 V3 and Haswell-based Celeron, Pentium, and i3's series. The R220 can be configured with up to 2 3.5" or 2 2.5" Hard Drives This system has 1 available expansion slot.

The R220 can be equipped with a single 250W power supply. In a configuration with a E3-1281 v3, 4 8GB DDR3 UDIMMs, dual 400GB Intel DC S3700 drives you can expect idle power consumption to be roughly 34.30 watts. This will cost roughly $30.54 for a full year of idling with the national average cost of $.10/KWh. At full load you can expect power consumption of roughly 119 watts. It would cost roughly $105.96 to run the system at full load continuously for a year.

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rackmount server which can come in a dual or single processor configuration. In a dual processor configuration, it can address up to 768GB (32GB X 24) of DDR4 RDIMMs with a max frequency of 2400 MHz. In triple channel configuration, the maximum is reduced to 1866 MHz. In a single processor configuration the maximum capacity is halved.

The processors that this system support includes all of the E5-2600 v3 and E5-2600 v4 series but in order to support the V4 series the system must come installed or be flashed with BIOS Revision 2.0 or newer. The R530 can be configured with up to 8 3.5" or 8 2.5" Hard Drives This system has 5 available expansion slots. With stock configuration you are limited to low profile, half-height expansion cards, but an expansion card is available that will allow you to install one full-height, full-length expansion card and one full-height, half-length card instead of attaching into motherboard slots 1 and 2 which are both low-profile and half-length.

The R530 can be equipped with up to 2 redundant 450W to 1100W power supplies. In a configuration with 2 E5-2650 v3 processors, 12 8GB DDR4 RDIMMs, dual 300GB 15K drives and redundant 750W power supplies you can expect idle power consumption to be roughly 161 watts. This will cost roughly $140.10 for a full year of idling with the national average cost of $.10/KWh. At full load you can expect power consumption of roughly 346 watts. It would cost roughly $308.08 to run the system at full load continuously for a year.
