Dell PowerEdge R260 Rack Server — Product Data Sheet
Product Overview
The Dell PowerEdge R260 is a 1U, single-socket rack server built in a short-depth 17-inch chassis, purpose-engineered for Near-Edge, Remote Office/Branch Office (ROBO), and small-to-medium business (SMB) environments where space, cost, and reliability are critical constraints . It delivers enterprise-class compute capability in a compact form factor, supporting Intel’s latest entry-level server processors with DDR5 memory and PCIe Gen4/Gen5 connectivity .
The R260 is designed for flexibility and affordability without compromising on essential features: hot-plug storage options, hardware and software RAID support, redundant power supply options, and the full suite of Dell OpenManage systems management tools including iDRAC9 . Its office-friendly acoustic profile and optional filter bezel make it suitable for deployment outside traditional data centers—in retail locations, manufacturing floors, or branch offices—where dust and noise considerations matter . With support for up to 128 GB of ECC DDR5 memory and a variety of storage configurations including NVMe, the R260 provides a scalable foundation for light virtualization, file/print services, point-of-sale workloads, and edge data processing .
