Dell PowerEdge R620: Specs and Rack Compatibility

 

Dell introduced the PowerEdge R620 in 2012. It was a powerful and compact server that impressed critics with it’s strong virtualization capabilities.

The PowerEdge R620 has a thriving aftermarket with sub $500 price tags. Still, eight years after release, statistics show that this server doesn’t hold up in popularity compared to the R710, which was released a year prior.

Rails allow for the most efficient use of space when mounting servers. RackSolutions specifically designed a fixed rail kit to fit the shoulder screws of the PowerEdge R620.

Here’s a guide on how to mount the rail:

Universal rails that have a height of 1U and support up to 29 inches of depth will be compatible with the PE R620. A benefit of these is the ability to re-use them for different servers or future upgrades. Plus, it’s easy to slide your server in and out of them for maintenance. You can also use our slam latch accessory kit for your Dell servers to be secured in place when using our universal rails. The retaining plate is only compatible with 1U-2U standard width universal rails.
