The chassis design of the R520 on rental is optimized for easy access to components and
for airflow for effective and efficient cooling. The R520 supports up to 12
DIMMs, two processors, hot-plug redundant power supplies,6 cooling fans with
blue markings .There's also much less room for RAM in the R520, with just 12
DIMM slots on the motherboard .
The R520 chassis can be ordered with fittings for either
four or eight hard disks with — depending on what the user specifies — either one or two banks of front-mounted
hot-swap bays. These can accommodate 3.5in. or (using special trays) 2.5in.
drives with the usual choice of SATA, SAS and SSD disks cabled to Dell PERC
RAID controllers.
There was no RAID card either. Instead, the SSD was cabled
to the 4-port SATA controller on the motherboard, although Dell Power Edge
R520 has software RAID for this — an option it refers to as PERC S110, adding
support for RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10.
GPU accelerator cards can be plug into the PCIe slots in the R520. And that's
over and above the two Broadcom Gigabit interfaces already on the motherboard —
one of which carries additional responsibility for in-band remote management
over the LAN.
As with other 12th-generation PowerEdge servers, the R520
features the latest iDRAC7 technology, with an improved web interface giving
easier access to important data plus additional power monitoring and management
features.
There's a slot on the motherboard for an embedded
hypervisor, which takes the form of a dual SD card module, the second card
providing extra redundancy should one of the hypervisors fail. These can be
preloaded with VMware or Citrix hypervisors, but there's no provision for
Microsoft's Hyper-V.
