Dell PowerEdge C6220 II Technical Guide

5 PowerEdge C6220 II Technical Guide
1 System overview
The Dell™ PowerEdge™ C6220 II is an ultra-dense 2U server that can support up to four
independent two-socket (2S) servers and is the direct successor to the PowerEdge C6220. The
PowerEdge C6220 II has two sled configurations that are selected based on the number of nodes
populated in the chassis:
 Two-node systems ship with 2U sleds
 Four-node systems ship with 1U sleds
Each independent server features single or dual Intel
®
Xeon
®
E5-2600 v2 series processors with up
to 12 cores, C602 chipset for I/O connectivity, DDR3 memory, dual-port embedded Gigabit
Ethernet (GbE) controllers and integrated IPMI 2.0 baseboard management controller (BMC) with a
dedicated RJ45 connection.
The PowerEdge C6220 II server benefits from all the features of the Intel E5-2600 v2 product family
as well as an extremely dense and energy-efficient shared infrastructure chassis. The combination of
Intel’s enhancements with the E5-2600 v2 processors and the C6000 shared infrastructure chassis
provide performance, efficiency and flexibility in one dense package.
Key technologies
The Dell PowerEdge C6220 II leads the PowerEdge portfolio in key areas of differentiation, primarily:
 Ultra density: up to four independent 2S servers in a 2U form factor
 High-performance E5-2600 v2 series processors up to 130W TDP
 Up to 12 x 3.5-inch or 24 x 2.5-inch hot swap drives in a 2U form factor
 Flexible backplane enables customizable hard drives for interchangeable node assignments
 Enhanced serviceability over previous generations
 Redundant hot-plug power supply for limited configurations
 Serviceable nodes: ability to service one node while others are running
(All four system boards are hot-pluggable.)
 Configure each server node differently to accomplish different workloads in one chassis
 Up to 512GB memory support with 16 DDR3 slots
