Supported processors The PowerEdge C6145 rack server supports up to two four-socket servers featuring the AMD Opteron 6100, 6200, or 6300 series processors. The PowerEdge C6145 supports the processors listed in Table 5. For the latest information on supported processors, visit Dell.com/PowerEdgeC.
The PowerEdge C6145 uses only 3.5-inch hard drives with limited configurations and 140W AMD Opteron processors. Processor installation Dell PowerEdge C6145 Systems Hardware For information on processor installation, see the Owner’s Manual on Dell.com/Support/Manuals. Chipset The PowerEdge C6145 uses the AMD SR5690 and SR5670 chipsets. For more information, visit AMD.com.
ECC DDR3 DIMMs (RDIMMs); standard-voltage and low-voltage RDIMMs are available. The PowerEdge C6145 has 32 memory sockets split into 4 sets of 8 sockets with one set of memory sockets per processor. Each 8-socket set is organized into 4 channels, with 2 memory sockets per channel.
The memory frequency is determined by a variety of inputs, including the speed of the DIMMs. The configuration of the DIMMs affects the speed of the processor. Table 7 lists memory configuration and performance details for the PowerEdge C6145 based on the population of the number and type of DIMMs per memory channel.
Note: Mixing SAS and SATA drives is not supported. Internal storage The PowerEdge C6145 system supports up to 12 hard disk drives per server node, depending on the number of installed nodes (1-2) and drive type (2.5-inch or 3.5-inch). The number of drives that can be installed depends on the processor TDP wattage.
RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 Storage controllers LSI 9265-8i PCIe card The PowerEdge C6145 supports a SAS daughtercard option if you need high performance SAS drives but do not require higher-end resiliency features such as battery backup for NVRAM. Other features include: ...
HDDs only Optical drive The PowerEdge C6145 chassis does not support optical drives. If needed, any external USB 2.0 compliant drive can be used, although no specific vendors have been qualified. Tape drive The PowerEdge C6145 chassis does not support an internal tape drive. External storage peripherals are not directly validated with PowerEdge C6145, but customers can use any supported network-based storage options validated with our network and fabric card matrix.
Queues per port: 16 TX queues and 16 RX queues Supports teaming I/O slots The PowerEdge C6145 supports up to three add-in cards and one mezzanine card, as well as one iPASS cable connector (dedicated HIC). The three x16 PCIe 2.0 slots are used as follows: PCIe x16 Slot 1: for low-profile card on riser card —...

Table 13 lists the tools and technologies Dell offers to help you achieve your data center goals by lowering power consumption and increasing energy efficiency.
92.0% System power supply throttling feature The PowerEdge C6145 supports a power supply throttling feature that protects the system if power consumption exceeds the maximum for the supply (either 1400W or 1100W). In configurations where power consumption is greater than the maximum, redundancy is lost, and the PowerEdge C6145 throttles power consumption of the two- or four-independent nodes to stay within the power budget.
Rails The static rails allow for tool-less installation in 19-inch EIA-310-E compliant square or unthreaded round hole 4-post racks. These include all Dell 42xx and 24xx racks. (Note: APC racks are also supported.) Other specifications include: ...
