Power
Redundant power supply units:
Supports up to four 1100W or 1600W AC power supply units (PSU) in 3+1 and 2+2 redundant configurations
Cooling
VRTX comes standard with six hot-pluggable, redundant fan modules and four blower modules:
Based on Dell Energy Smart Technologies, VRTX fans and blowers are a breakthrough in power and cooling efficiency. Fans and blowers deliver low-power consumption and use next-generation fan technologies to ensure the lowest possible amount of fresh air is consumed to cool the enclosure.
Rack Support
ReadyRails™ II sliding rails for 4-post racks with square, round, or threaded holes
RAID Controllers
Single shared PERC8 with optional second redundant shared PERC8 available

Systems Management
Delivers comprehensive functionality yet simple and easy to use:
Uses Chassis Management Controller (CMC) to manage all resources (server nodes, storage, networking, and power) with a unified management tool, presented in a single console
Monitors up to nine VRTX chassis from a single, consolidated CMC console
Offers both Local and Remote management
Is available with either Enterprise or Express CMC licensing for CMC
Redundant Chassis Management Controller is available
Server nodes each contain proven iDRAC7 with Lifecycle Controller for agent-free systems
Management that are fully supported within the OpenManage product portfolio
Drive business success with a data center under your desk
The PowerEdge VRTX modular infrastructure solution offers “under your desk” dimensions, ease of management and quiet acoustics so you can operate non-disruptively. Features such as Fresh Air validated configurations and standard power options help keep your operating expenses in check. Address a wide variety of workloads with future-proof compute, storage and networking options within a single chassis.
Great for:
- Small and home office (SOHO) environments where data center access is not available
- Remote and branch offices (ROBO) that need local storage and have reduced network access
Adapt and scale with an expandable, modular solution
The PowerEdge VRTX is built on a scalable business architecture so you can continually optimize your capacity and performance with versatile, swappable components.
- Up to four hot-plug PowerEdge server nodes (4-socket M830 and 2-socket M640 or M630)
- Up to 12 x 3.5" or 25 x 2.5" HDDs/SSDs internal storage
- Up to four MD1200 (12 x 3.5") or MD1220 (24 x 2.5") JBOD disk arrays
- GPU accelerators (within the chassis) and NVMe drive options (within the M640)
- 10GbE or 1GbE, or Ethernet pass-through module options
- Up to three full height and five low profile PCIe slots
Simplify management with intelligent automation
Dell EMC OpenManage intelligent automation enables you to spend less time on routine maintenance so you can focus on business-critical priorities. Plus, you can easily manage your VRTX components — networking, storage and servers — in a single console with the Chassis Management Controller (CMC).
Protect your business with integrated security
A comprehensive, cyber-resilient architecture with security embedded into every server helps to protect your data.
- Maintain data safety with cryptographically signed firmware packages and Secure Boot
- Protect server configuration and firmware from malicious changes with new Configuration Lock-down
- Scale safely on premise to help avoid security risks and rising cloud fees
