1 System overview

The Dell™ PowerEdge™ C6220 rack server is an ultra-dense 2U server that can support up to four
independent two-socket servers and is the direct successor to the PowerEdge C6100. The
PowerEdge C6220 has two sled configurations that are selected based on the number of nodes
populated in the chassis:

Two-node systems ship with 2U sleds

Four-node systems ship with 1U sleds
Each independent server features the single or dual Intel
with up to eight cores, C602 chipset for I/O connectivity, DDR3 memory, dual-port embedded
Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) controllers and integrated IPMI 2.0 BMC with a dedicated RJ45 connection.
The PowerEdge C6220 server benefits from all the features of the Intel E5-2600 product family as
well as an extremely dense and energy-efficient shared infrastructure chassis. The combination of
Intel's new performance E5-2600 architecture and the C6000 shared infrastructure chassis provide
performance, efficiency and flexibility in one dense package.

New technologies

The Dell PowerEdge C6220 leads the PowerEdge portfolio in key areas of differentiation, primarily:

Ultra density: up to four independent 2S servers in a 2U form factor

High-performance E5-2600 series processors up to 135W TDP

Up to 12 x 3.5-inch or 24 x 2.5-inch hot-plug drives in a 2U form factor

Flexible backplane enables customizable hard drives for interchangeable node assignments

Enhanced serviceability over previous generations

Redundant hot-plug power supply for limited configurations

Serviceable nodes: ability to service one node while others are running
(All four system boards are hot-pluggable.)

Configure each server node differently to accomplish different workloads in one chassis

Up to 512GB memory support with 16 DDR3 slots

Detailed descriptions
This family of Intel processors has embedded PCI Express
for improved I/O performance. See the Processor section for details.
The Intel Platform Controller Hub (PCH) chip is implemented on the
PowerEdge C6220 server.
Certain models of the Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 product family
support 1600MT/s memory. The PowerEdge C6220 supports two DIMMs
per channel at 1600MT/s with these processors. See the Memory section
for details.
