Cloud Ninjas' Dell PowerEdge R250 Specifications

Chassis

The Dell PowerEdge R250 server is a 1U server that is great for computation applications. This 15th generation Dell server builds upon the R240. There are a few different chassis options for the PowerEdge R250. We will cover some of differences and similarities of the different chassis options.

Bay Counts

There are only two bay count options for the PowerEdge R250 which are 2 Bay LFF and 4 Bay LFF. The 2 Bay LFF only comes in a cabled SAS/SATA drive version. This chassis accepts a total of two 3.5” SAS/SATA drives. The 4 Bay LFF chassis has both a cabled SAS/SATA drive and hot-swap drive SAS/SATA version. This chassis accepts up to four SAS/SATA drives.

Chassis Rear and PCIe Slots

The chassis rear is the same across all R620 chassis. The chassis rear has two PCIe slots which are both low-profile. The rear includes a serial connector, VGA port, two RJ45 Ethernet ports, a dedicated RJ45 iDRAC port, a USB 2.0 port, a USB 3.2 Gen 1 port, a system ID button, a CMA jack, and a cabled power supply.

Processing Power

The Dell PowerEdge R250 server has one CPU socket. This socket accepts Intel Xeon E-2300 processors with up to 8 cores. Intel Pentium processors up to 2 cores are also supported.

Memory

The Dell PowerEdge R250 server has a total of 4 DDR4 DIMM slots. There are two memory channels that each consist of two DIMM slots. Only one type of memory can be used with the R250 which is Non-ECC Unbuffered (UDIMMs). Module capacities of 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB are supported by the R250. The greatest possible configuration you can achieve with this system is 128GB with 4x32GB UDIMMs. The PowerEdge R250 can accept memory speeds of 2666MT/s, 2933MT/s, or 3200MT/s. The processor installed in your system will determine the maximum memory speed that your system can achieve. If using an Intel Pentium processor, the maximum memory speed is 2666MT/s. The highest possible memory speed that can be achieved by the R250 is 3200MT/s. If you install a processor that supports a lower maximum memory speed, and you install modules with higher speeds than the max, the speed of the module will clock down to the max speed. For example, if your processor supports a max RAM speed of 2666MT/s, and you install a 2933MT/s or 3200MT/s module, the module will operate at 2666MT/s.

Storage

The Dell PowerEdge R250 server has a handful of different storage options. All chassis for the R250 have 3.5” drives bay, but 2.5” drives can still be installed using a 2.5” to 3.5” drive adapter. The R250 the use of HDDs, SSDs, and M.2s. Supported drive interfaces are SATA and SAS.

Supported Drives

Form Factor	Type	Speed	Rotational Speed	Max Capacity Per Drive
3.5"	SATA	6 Gb	7.2 K	20 TB
3.5"	SAS	12 Gb	7.2 K	20 TB
2.5"	SATA	6 Gb	SSD	3.84 TB
2.5"	SAS/vSAS	12 Gb	SSD	7.68 TB
2.5"	SAS	12 Gb	10K	2.4 TB
2.5"	SAS	12 Gb	15K	900 GB
M.2	SATA	6 Gb	SSD	480GB

NVMe Options & Upgrades

A lot of the servers in Dell’s 15th generation of servers have loads of NVMe. If you are looking for a system with loads of NVMe support, then the R250 is not a good fit. The R250 does not have any NVMe support. This does not mean it’s a bad server overall. It all depends on you application, and what is right for you. PowerEdge R250 does not have an NVMe capable backplane, so you cannot use NVMe U.2 drives. M.2 drives can be install with a BOSS-S1 card, however, NVMe M.2 drives are not supported.

Power Supplies

The PowerEdge R250 supports one cabled power supply. There is not an option to use hot-swap power supplies. There is a total of two power supply options to choose from. The first option is 450W Bronze 100-240 VAC. The second option is 450W Platinum 100-240VAC. Both options are cabled, are 450W, and support a voltage range of 100-240VAC. The only difference is the efficiency rating. Platinum rated power supply is more efficient at high loads when compared to the bronze rated PSU.

RAID Options

The PowerEdge R250 has a variety of storage controllers to pick from. There are both RAID (PERC) and non-RAID options. Both of these types of storage controllers are good options, but the one that is best for you depends on your use case. You can also use a software RAID. Non-RAID adapters can’t be used to configure RAID, but they can be used as a boot or data controller. PERC RAID controllers do have the ability to configure RAID. A software RAID does the same thing, but it is limited compared to a hardware RAID.

RAID Options	RAID Levels	Cache	Drive Speeds	PCIe Generation	RAID Hardware
S150 onboard software	0,1,5,10	None	6 Gb/s SATA	PCIe	Software
HBA355E	Passthrough	None	3 Gb/s SAS/SATA 6 Gb/s SAS/SATA 12 Gb/s SAS	PCIe 4.0	Hardware

H355	0,1,10	None	6 Gb/s SATA 12 Gb/s SAS	PCIe 4.0	Hardware
H755	0,1,5,6,10,50,60	8GB NV	Gen4 (16 GT/s) NVMe Gen3 (8 GT/s) NVMe 3 Gb/s SAS/SATA 6 Gb/s SAS/SATA 12 Gb/s SAS	PCIe 4.0	Hardware

Network Interface Card Options

In order to connect a device to the internet, it needs some type of networking card. Networking cards can manifest as a port that is integrated on the motherboard, or as a separate card. The PowerEdge R250 has no option to add in an OCP card, but they can accept PCIe network cards. PCIe cards must be low-profile in order to install it into the R250. The R250 has two 1GbE RJ45 ports built into the motherboard.
