Innovate at scale with challenging and emerging workloads The Dell EMC PowerEdge C6520, powered by the 3rd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, is the ideal compute-dense server designed to support dynamic compute-at-scale business requirements in a dense form factor. The PowerEdge C6520 maximizes performance per U by supporting 4 dual-socket compute nodes in a 2U chassis with Air and Direct Liquid Cooling options to power the highest-performing processors. It supports 8 memory channels/CPU, up to 16 DDR4 DIMMs @ 3200 MT/s DIMM speed. In addition, to address substantial throughput improvements the PowerEdge C6520 supports PCIe Gen 4 and up to 6 NVMe drives per node. This makes the PowerEdge C6520 an ideal server for hyper scale compute workloads requiring high scalability and high performance such as High-Performance Computing (HPC), high-performance data analytics (HPDA), financial modeling and high-frequency trading(HFT), Web Tech and XaaS Service Providers. Accelerate operational efficiency with autonomous collaboration The Dell EMC OpenManage systems management portfolio tames the complexity of managing and securing IT infrastructure. Using Dell Technologies’ intuitive end-to-end tools, IT can deliver a secure, integrated experience by reducing process and information silos in order to focus on growing the business. Optional built-in telemetry streaming, thermal management, and RESTful API with Redfish offer streamlined visibility and control for better server management Intelligent automation lets you enable cooperation between human actions and system capabilities for added productivity Integrated change management capabilities for update planning and seamless, zero-touch configuration and implementation Full-stack management integration with VMware, Microsoft, ServiceNow, Ansible and many other tools Protect your data assets and infrastructure with proactive resilience The Dell EMC PowerEdge C6520 server is designed with a cyber-resilient architecture, integrating security deeply into every phase in the lifecycle, from design to retirement. Operate your workloads on a secure platform anchored by cryptographically trusted booting and silicon root of trust Maintain server firmware safety with digitally signed firmware packages Prevent unauthorized configuration or firmware change with system lockdown Securely and quickly wipe all data from storage media, including hard drives, SSDs and system memory with System Erase Memory The PowerEdge C6520 supports up to 16 DIMMs in a 2S configuration, with up to 2 TB of memory capacity and speeds of up to 3200 MT/s. The PowerEdge C6520 has eight DIMM channels per processor with one DIMM per channel (DPC). The PowerEdge C6520 supports 16 GB/32 GB/64 GB (registered) RDIMMs. It supports 128 GB LRDIMMs and it will not support UDIMMs or persistent memory.

But Riser 1B has two Micro SD slots for boot. There is also a dedicated slot on the system board for the BOSS-S1 M.2 Riser. This Riser holds two M.2 NVMe drives for boot. BOSS M.2 Riser Riser 1A Riser 2B Networking Supported The system comes with a Single port 1 Gbe LOM (Broadcom) for networking. It also has an optin to upgrade the networking with the OCP3 Gen4 slot x16. This OCP slot can support a OCP NIC Card with speeds up to 25Gb per port. If the OCP card is not installed a blank filler will be installed for airflow reasons.
